    @Hodge I may have it mixed up with a Bunnings chainsaw,
    the drive spocket was lubed via a small tube of grease into
    centre of the shaft, we pilled apart every brand of chainsaw known to man.
    loved it.
    Im a big believer in being able to pull things apart to see how they work
    helps heaps out in the boondocks. lol

    Yeah the "C" can refer to quick chain tensioner on some saws but this one refers to captive bar nuts which aren't such a bad idea. Yeah don't know any pro saws that have the crappy quick tensioner pretty sure they don't. Have a 241 at work, it's crazy light and does scream is a good little saw . .

    That is it Rossco mate, have just commandeered the 241C off the boys for tomorrows light needs.
    Single nut with captive washers over old school faithful tensioning screw



    EDIT: Sorry Rossco, captive nut I am, first time cleaning this saw for me. It is a great idea and impossible to loose bits out in the bush, ripper

    I think the 'c' is the turn wheel adjuster isn't it? He has a 241C

    Ah Ha, gotcha, didn't see this post until I replied to Winnie. This would be my upgrade saw from the 231 for sure.

    I think worthwhile mentioning here that our main lumberjack on team using the MS241C in our little coupe recently had a mate of his suggest looking into Stihl’s battery powered systems. Apparently he gets huge hours out of their packs and believes he finishes his similar cutting days heaps less tired. They possibly could be charging off an inverter thingy from solar on their rigs, not 100% sure yet!

    EDIT: It must be the ‘AR 1000’ backpack system he was using professionally?

    Never thought I'd use chainsaw and DC volts in the same sentence good Marko !!
    At work we use the Milwaukee 18V with a 16" bar versions and they have impressed me immensely ! Cut's up 3 x 40 foot poles into 2 foot firewood sections with a single 12AH battery and still has juice to spare... We charge ours off 24V trucks / inverters.

    They are freakin' expensive though, and one wonders if it's really worth while when for extra few hungiesss you can get a nice Stihl of some kind.

    @katwowan & SteveO mates, @Hodge mate might be onto something here with his company’s use of Milwaukee battery saws.
    Myself, AB & @matfew have always carried off-road Milwaukee 18v gear like grinders, drills, blowers for snow fires etc...
    As per above mentioned track clearing and quick small fires my 18v MW sabre saw also gets used a hell of a lot with a long demolition blade on board.
    If Hodgey can get through 3 power poles (durability 1 hard old timber) on a single 12AH battery seriousl chainsaw I’m sold too for a complete all-round home/adventure kit

    Forgot to mention, @matfew (industrial sparky) has worked out a way to jump start diesel 6 pot patrols off Milwaukee batteries in a spot of bother.
