Rattler, too bad that 3120 cant stay on your'e bench for a new home in your'e garage I mean. I have alway's wanted to try a 681, and I like that small block muscle! All muscle saw's are welcome on this thread!!! All brands too. Of course I have my favorite brand's, but that wont stop me from trying other's. Or throwing a different brand in my lineup!!!! P.S on the Pacific Northwest GTG Pics, I love it they started off the pic's with a 2100 or was it the 2101, looked like mine. Good Pic!
 
I think the fumes from all that hot plastic has caused brain damage.
The most powerful saw I ran at the GTG, was a 1-76 McCulloch, no doubt in my mind. Sure the big ported Huskys were fast, but lacked the feel of raw power and of course the sound of power.
 
Oldsawnut, a 60 thats a bar man. Ive run the 42in bars, thats good size too, and the mighty 660 is one of my all time pic's. Right on Randymac. I kinda guessed you would pick a Mac. Thats good stuff. How big is the 1-76? Homelite, and Mac definatelt left a mark. I guess you could say cast a giant shadow, and helped pave a long road. Definately classic's, and would definately deserve many muscle saw vote's! I would like to meet ya someday, and see the mac's, and picture's. Those two brand's are obviousily very popular to this day. Real good stuff. Norm............
 
I used to go to the oldtimers bbq when I was a kid, it was in Cazadero where I grew up. It was before the mighty 066 day's. It was the last one I attended. They used too have a saw competion with some top saw's, and operator's. The best form around the area's. The big thing then was the 056magnum,2. I watched a old man with a old blue homelite if memory serve' me right, come out he could barely raise it. He beat everyone including his son's. The old man, and his old saw. Another one some years later, I was not therebut John parmeter, who is a best friend of mine was. He won the competion with the Sp-81 that Aaron now has. At first John dind't want to part with it, but I told him it would remain sitting on his porch, as it had for years. I also told him a new found friend would really love to have this, and to him it would mean alot, and find the right hand's. Sometime's it is hard to let go of thing's, even unused one's, but I belive they should be passed along to someone who can truely appreciate them.
 
Hey Norm!
I ran a 2100 as well as ported 390s and 394s, fine running saws, but lacking in certain essential elements. They don't have enough of that visceral, physical impact of the big inch vintage chainsaws. They scream at a high pitch, not a bellowing thunder, they buzz instead of shaking you with unbridled power. The Huskys were too civil, the old monsters will let you know, you had your hands on a machine, that requires all of your attention.
In another sport this is easy to see, check out the big Hydros, sure the turbines are really fast and sound like a vacuum cleaner. You want the true nature, the aircraft engine powered Hydros have it.
Today's world has been blanded out, too easy to do things, challenges are weak.
 
I agree Randy, some thing, well alot of things aren't what they used to be. One of the best things ever said in a song. I wish a buck was still silver! Alot of words to live by in those lyrics. Certain technology is really awesome, too much has made people lazy, and lack respect in a lot of way's. Remember the good ole day's the all or nothing days'. So how big is the 1-76 Randy?
 
Ok it makes it in the club. You don't need to tell me the history or anything I don't wan't to keep you LOL!
 
Another 2100 owner, and thread I love it! Sure weren't to popular where they? LOL! They get talk evryday, and guy's keep getting em left, and right. Awesome.
 
I'll say it again.....MAN I sure hope the Laytonville GTG happens this fall Norm. You, Dave (ckelp), John, and I can caravan up. My McCulloch 550 (basically the same 99cc engine as the 1-76) is ready to go now. My 103cc McCulloch 790 (and Randy's) will be ready by then too. Hope to have John's Homelite 750 running for him to take up there. Those all fit the Muscle Saw class. Others may be there too. Hope Randy's mighty Homelite 2100S can come out and impress folks. My Homelite 900D won't be ready unless I find a piston...
 
53 inch bar.
