Hi there,
wonder if anyone has had this problem, guess it is kinda common, but couldn稚 find a good solution on it. I have two chainsaws, one Sthil for heavy duty and a Ryobi for light duty. One of my Ryobi痴 bolts that hold the blade in place, with two nuts, has broken off, and now I can only fasten it with one nut, making it rather unstable and kinda 'useless'.
I have tried to weld another bolt on it, but it just dont work and also I am too cautious to remove the bolt without knowing if there is a proper way to weld the new bolt on. I understand that the fix will not make it as strong as it was out of the factory, but I just want it more stable than now. After 10 odd minutes I need unscrew the one nut and realign the blade and fasten it.
The labor of doing this is not what is the most worrying, the worrying part is if the blade comes lose while I am using the chainsaw.
Please help
