- Today were swapping out some of the failing famertec parts and replacing them with OEM parts.
Some of the Chinese parts just are not holding up.

Great Video! Hope the caps work better for you! Stay Safe, Continue Stacking, Stay Safe!🪵🪵🪵🪵
These caps have sealed up nicely. Thanks for stopping by.
Man that's a massive bar, stay safe Mike and keep cuttin'!
It is big. Takes a little to get used to.
That’s a nice looking saw. Great video!👍🏻
Thank you Mr James
May have to try the grease in that case , if needed,👍🚜
Hey Mr Len. I heard about other people doing that. I can see the concept of it working
I never thought about a little grease around the filter. I was surprised the bar took up the slack. Big ol bar looks good on it.
Yes sir Mr Kenny I haven't either. That saw handles that bigger bar nicely. The 24" is still faster on it. It took up the slack but it didn't last long. I had to remove a link from it.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead the longer bar must be worse for stretching the chain, do you think?
@OpenAirAdventure it's possible. I usually have new chains loosen up a bit after about 5 minutes of use but this one was already maxed out. I figured I should change it before it throws it at me.
I sent you an email Mr Kenny.
Hello.. love the videos. I have 2 g660 's and yes I put grease on the base of the filter. Drove dirt latemodel race cars and did the same thing. Wood dust is not as bad as dust but it does stop stuff from getting past the base of the filter. I got rid of those hard plastic filters that come with the g saws and bought an aftermarket cheap thing. Filters well but I still put some grease on the bottom. Anyway. Have a great weekend.
Hey thanks for the feedback. several people have suggested it. I believe it warrants doing it now. I can see how it would work just wasn't sure if many people did that.
Thanks for stopping by
I grease around my filters, just something I’ve carried over from my dirt bikes. I’m really liking my max flow filter kits, you get a small performance increase & better filtering. I never had good luck with them aftermarket fuel caps, I always throw an oem in.
Ill start doing the grease on the filters. I can see it working. I would like to put a maxx air filter on this clone.
Good to know Tony!
@@travisdoesfirewood did you notice the grease around that echo when you cleaned it up?

Dear friend, I have seen you here for a long time. You keep uploading videos on your channel and honestly, the quality of your every video and your talking style is amazing. I like you too.
Welcome back!
That's a BIG bar Mike!! Cool!! Maybe I should find a bigger bar for my Farm Boss! Hope it runs great for you!! Best, --J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres
Thanks J. I originally wanted that bar for milling. Haven't got my mill yet. It's still handy to have around sometimes.
If you take the chain back to your saw shop, they can take a link or 2 out.😉👍
Hey Mr Daniel. Yes sir I had a linkntaken out of both of the oregon chains. They fit great now.

Those factory farmer tec caps are hit and miss, most of them work fine but they do get some bad batches in. You can try the filter grease but Stihl air filtration SUCKS so no matter what fines get in if you don’t clean the filter 2 times a day. The difference in chain driver count is husqvarna and Stihl using different counts. I like the Carlton chain but I’ve used Oregon EXL/EXJ for a while and it’s my favorite chain overall. The Oregon power cut bars are nice, I run a 32 Oregon power cut .404 on my 038 but the old school power match plus bars were the BEST. I’d also recommend getting oversized dogs so your chain isn’t in the dirt when you set the saw down just don’t get west coast dogs I’d get the pro safety dogs. Great video either way man❤
Hey that's great advice thank you. Imwhatvare your thoughts on the max air filters?
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead those max flows are great I want one for my personal 046 but I usually just run intake stacks that I make myself 😂
@SomeGuysSawShop I'd like one but they are pricey.
Forester bars and chains are another good source for bars and chains. Been greasing air filter bases for 20 plus years,commercially and as a firewood cutter. Just run 115 driver chain it does give a wee bit more bar but not to much to be a issue with adjustment. I bought the NeoTec 660 clone because farmer tec is junk ,Mine runs a 42 inch bar.
Hey Scott. Ill check out forester. I did end up taking a link out of these chains. Ill also add a thin layer of grease around the air filter. People seem to think it helps. I can see where dust and dirt will stick to the grease. Hopefully this farmertec will hold together. I did put alot of oem parts inside it.
But to tell the truth, your every video is very beautiful and people like to watch this kind of video. Because there is no beauty above natural beauty. okay
I know in the 28"
For husky they recommend 91 link.
And 92 link for stihl.
.
But i find running a 8 tooth sprocket on the husky requires that extra link.
Unfortunately that requires me to stock bolth 91 and 92 link chains. As we have other saws with about 60cc not 75cc that dont spin the 8T very well.
.
Its a special saw configuration i came up with for dealing with an incredibly soft hard wood, red alder.
That's awesome. I wouldn't of thought of that thank you for sharing
@TheRustyGarageandHomestead
One thing I've learned with the bigger 8T is it takes a lot less slack in The chain to throw it off.
.
A 7t .404 is about halfway in between the 2 3/8" sizes. I keep one old 371xp 32" bar rigged that way. With .404 your limited to .063 gage.
The bigger .085 is not recommended for hand held saw use.
That is good to know thank you.
Hope the new cap doesn’t Reak
So far so good. Have a great day Johnnn
How’s the balance of the 36 inch bar? Would a 32 be better?
I honestly think so. For bucking I plan on getting a 32. This 36 is nose heavy.
What do you think of that 660?
So far I love it. Runs & starts great.
The Chinese plastic is the main thing I don't like. It's cheap plastic. Not the best quality. The throttle linkage has always seemed a bit off but it works.
It was a fun build
What chain brand came in that tin can?
I'll check here in a few when I get back to the shop. It was a cheap off brand on Amazon
