Walker Quiet Flow SS if you don't want loud. Flowmaster, Thrush, Dynomax, Magnaflow, all of those will be louder than stock. Don't buy the cheap Amazon junk, you WILL be replacing it in a year. The Quiet Flow lasted a few winters for me on my Jeeps where the Amazon mufflers and Flowmasters...

Battery saws have their place. I have one and it is great for pruning, trimming branches off trees I've cut, and cutting Christmas trees on a friend's farm. If you try to do anything more than that the battery life becomes an issue. Don't listen to me though, I own way too many saws, haha...

I haven't seen one swapped with a GCV190 yet. I know the older Timemasters came with a smaller engine, a 190cc Briggs I believe. I'd be curious to see if the GCV190 had enough power. I have two of them, one on a logsplitter and another on a pressure washer and they are plenty powerful enough...

Ugh that sucks! I have 13 chickens myself. I've never seen any bears, but know they are in the area.

The CS4920 is still a great saw with plenty of power for its weight. That or the older CS4910 if the dealer still has any would be my pick for an 18" bar.

After the cam break-in, you really don't need a high zinc oil for a 4.0L. The valve spring pressures are low enough where it won't matter. A stroker with an aggressive cam is a different story. I run Valvoline Maxlife synthetic 5w30 in my 98 TJ 4.0L, it seems to be one of the quietest oils...

I have the pro version of that same saw, the CS-501p. Definitely a smooth and powerful saw that isn't too heavy. The CS4920 I think is the replacement for the CS4910. You might be able to find some 4910's still leftover.

In my experience most dealers will, you just won't be as high a priority as customers who purchased a machine from them. Home Depot and Lowes don't service equipment, they usually direct you to a local dealer that can.

In their eyes it lasted plenty long enough. (n) I no longer own anything with Briggs engines. Everything is Honda or Kawasaki powered now.

Definitely moisture in the fluid, likely the previous owner had a small yard and never got the fluid up to temp.

One thing I do recommend if buying an Echo is get it from a local dealer, not Home Depot. The prices are usually the same or very close and the dealers will test run it/set it up before giving it to you, and will be a lot better to deal with should you ever need to use the warranty.

I no longer own or recommend Stihl products to my customers. I used to be a big Stihl fan, but now they are very overpriced and the quality is slipping considerably. All of the OEM parts are dealer only. Their saws and backpack blowers are some of the hardest starting pieces of equipment I've...

Yep, been around chainsaws my whole life, I keep my chaps in the same case my saw is in so I use them every time. Just not worth the risk. Even being super careful you can't predict for the uneven ground, slippery logs, etc. Glad it wasn't worse! They also make chainsaw pants that are like...

The diesels have good torque and return good fuel economy, and that is where the advantages stop. I would also echo what @edyvw said. Modern diesels have way too many complicated and expensive emissions components to make the fuel economy worthwhile. I have several friends and family members...

Exactly. We have a few residents on my street who will sit on their front porch and give dirty looks to people going 5-10 over. Guess who are the fastest drivers on the street? They are, by far. Rules for thee but not for me as usual. One of them even took out a mailbox about 100 feet from...

At least you can see them. There is a state police explorer that is frequently parked in the local Ford dealership doing radar next to... you guessed it... a row of explorers...

1981 Giant Vac push blower - swapped a new Honda GX270 9hp on it last year Out: Napa 15w40 In: Rotella T5 15w40 Started first pull after sitting since November 2023. (y)

Likely an MTD, but it was back when MTD still made decent stuff.

+1 My '98 Sahara 4.0L/5MT only has a 1" lift and 31" tires but I've done 80+ in it and it was surprisingly smooth. I typically run it at 75 on the highway though. Here if you do under 75 on the highway you are getting run off the road.

I've used both, but truthfully have cut open more bad looking Purolators than I have Fram, so Fram is my go-to as of now. That is always subject to change, but in general I find the Purolators to also be higher priced at least in my area as well.
