2101xp/ top all time muscle saws!!!!!!!!!!!

[homelitejim]

Picked this one up at the scrap, I should have every thing I need to get it running except a filter, top cover, roller nose tip for a 36 inch roller nose bar and a piece of .404. Total investment so far about $30 with the bar.

Dan, sounds like you got a nice couple logs picked out, much better then a 12in log!Andy good to see ya, Im jealous that 42 in bar is sweet on that saw. Jim glad your doing well, and bringing in some more nice saws, you definatatly found the honey hole

Ah, the 2100 disease, man just saw one on Craigs list here for 400, if I had cash woulda grabbed it, but then I got 2 and a half of them! I wouldn't mind a shed full, but like Chuck at the shop says, your others saws will be dead and gone, you will be running that 2101, he always laughs says I just need one because they just last, and don't build em like that anymore. I have a project one now too, had for a bit will resurect it, or keep for parts. Now I have one of my best pals hooked, as one of the three saws I got for a hundred bucks. Was a 2100, that sat for 10 years, all I had to do was carb kit. And its a screaming machine, that was a good day, a project 288xp, and two 2100's. 100 bucks! You know that 288 is staying with me!

Norm you've got me looking for a 2100/2101 as well now. It'll have to wait a while (or be extremely cheap) for me to pick one up though. The $400 2100 has been on our CL several times. What makes me cautious is that he never posts pics of the actual saw.

I'm glad I didn't run that 1100CD until AFTER I traded it to you. If it had a manual oiler like the 2100CD/2101XP saws I probably wouldn't have let it go.

Did you see this thread Norm?

[NORMZILLA44]

I agree, Aaron wonder why no pics too. Im glad you got the bug, I could have many more! I will help on the hunt, I have one with a spare cylinder. Was going to build or keep for parts too. Wish I would have kept that one I got running for my friend Sean, who you met and saw the saw that day. When we cut, it was not pretty but super strong, cylinder was excellent.

Checked the compression on one of my 2100s. 90. So, looks like a bit of mechanicing..

Its a new to me saw, so.......

 

[NORMZILLA44]

So.... Looks like we got another 2100 on the road eh? Love it.....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Like a fine race car, or hot rod. to me no other saw suites me the same.

That's how I feel about my 034 supers. The only stihl I would still buy!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

LOL! Yep those 034's great little saw's I agree. Used one for firewood for years when I was younger. I have my trusty 044, and 660 that I have not parted with and love. But at times I lean toward Husky as my favorite LOL! Maybe it depends on the day, but my big huskies get the most use.

 

[madhatte]

Got my hands on a 2100 a few weeks ago, didn't know the saw at all, didn't have a chance to fiddle with it... started on the first pull at the Central OR GTG -- I have witnesses! Fun machine, that. Oh, and I put an 8-pin rim on one of my P100's. It still pulls noodles with a 42" bar buried, no problem. There's lots to recommend big torque.

 

[RandyMac]

Did somebody say torque?

here is 99cc worth.

 

[madhatte]

Got one a' that, too, tho it's wanting more bar:

This 550 only cost me $50 and came with the auger attachment and a 6" auger bit! I did get the AF cover NOS, and wiped the mung off of it, but other than that it's as-found.

 

[paccity]

some big buckin today.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Husqvarna 2100CD 2100 for 400 on craigslist, if I had the money you know me LOL! I would have a fourth one LOL! Its the one Aaron and I were looking at guy finally posted a pic, of actual saw, which looks clean. Frasier nice stick man, wish i was cutting with ya, thats a good one!

[NORMZILLA44]
