Livin the High Life, can't beat that.

Not sure I need a 42" on this one here in the midwest, I'll take one though if someones got one. :laugh:

That bar that is on it is a 36" 404 in a Homelite mount and I'm giving it to Cbfarmall for one of his old Homelites. I'll probably put a 3/8's 32" on it since I have one here for it.

Its apart right now just fixing a few old saw things on it, waiting for the rest of the new antivibe mounts to show up for it, then it can go back together.
 
Mark that thing is gorgeous, nice saw and find my friend:msp_thumbsup: To say they are one of the best, well don't want to sound like a broken record:cool2: Best saw I ever had in my hands. The 395 looked like it still had half of the first tank of fuel in it, it looks like a 2004, and sat for a bit. Still had the price skew sticker on it. Not one scractch anywhere. Air filter was even free of dust. Bar was obviousilly off another saw. 550.00 out the door.
 
Norm, I had been looking for a 2100 for sometime, every since I got rid of my 1100. Didnt really want the 1100 to go but some guy here wanted it pretty bad and the 1100 has some design issues I didnt like.

Took a while to find the "right" 2100 but think it was worth the wait.
 
Site moving slow, try again here we go, pics.

Lookin' good Norm. I see you've got your K&N on the big Husky. Your 'new' 395XP looks really clean. Can't wait to run it. Can't wait to run the 2101XP either.:D

Good deal Mark, and yes I will say looks like the right one:msp_thumbsup: Glad it worked out my friend. Other than the plastic upper handle, and no manual oiler, you know of any or many other differences Mark? I know the pull starter is thinner. I know these saws pretty well now, but still learning and love all the input. I have the 2101, a 2100 parts or build saw, and my 1100. Aaron thanks, yes we are going to have some fun, we need to line up the day to fall the big oka, and looks like a good one came down at Bette'S! Figured you as game eh?:blob2: PS it was a pleasant surprise to see the 395 has a tilly on it! Surprised me, but made me happy.

I believe the 1100 had a different ign and flywheel, thats why the starter parts were different. Mine was a mishmash of parts and had a 2100 style starter and ign on it. The case is different as well as the 2100 used a different throttle linkage and had mounts for it cast into the cast and the 1100 didnt have that.

The throttle linkage was a mess on the 1100 and was my main gripe with that saw. Parts are NLA and all the used ones were worn out junk as well so I ended up converting it to a one piece throttle wire like my Poulan 5200 has and its still working today that way.

The throttle linkage on the 2100 looks like Husqvarna sent it to Germany to be over engineered but at least it actually works well.
 
Great info Mark! I forgot about the ignition. Did not know that about the linkage. We have been talking here, as many 2100's as now are on the road again, be real nice for a aftermarket supplier to bring some parts out. Luckily for the 2100 I have been able to find all I need. Cary was saying there may be talks of P&C kits, and as you know that being the hardest part to find. I have 2 cylinders and a piston on my shelf. Definately will hang on too. Be nice for NWP or someone to at least make some plastic, like the air filter covers, and some metal side covers. Have you checked the pto side crank seal Mark? two of three I picked up had needed replacment. Also the tank vent Jim had showed us the Echo tank vent works perfect on the 2100, as I went to get a new one, and that is no longer available.
 
I did have this saw running before I took it apart, it appears to not have any air leaks, crank seals included. If they need changed later, there not hard to do.

I thought you might have seen the thread I started on this 2100 as it had a plug for the tank vent and used a vented cap which was leaking. I'm using a rubber grommet in the tank vent hole with a Poulan duckbill line connector with a Homelite duckbill valve on it with a piece of tygon through the grommet. I'll try to photo that setup later.
 
Bouncing back with sites and Facebook:msp_w00t: I get confused at times LOL! You started a thread with your new 2100 correct, that the one you are refering too? If so think I have been there, thought so not sure.
