Got the lawn mowed and shortly thereafter decided to do some sawing to move toward getting the backyard clear. So I trudged up the hill to get the saw and back down it to begin sawing; I got about halfway through a log when it threw a chain. Turns out I had removed the blade brake and not adequately tightened it back up the last time I used the saw. more’s the fool me.

Anyway, it damaged not the blade, but the gear teeth on back, so it wouldn’t go into the bar properly.

Thankfully, Mr B had given me a spare chain and bar off the husky he grenaded, so I was back in operation posthaste.

the other chain will be usable again but I will have to work on a few gear teeth with a dremel.

I’m still extremely pleased with the Husky, and I expect it to live a long time because I use it neither as hard or as much as mr B does.

Still have about a solid ton of wood to move.
