Thanks for putting that up Jim. First saw looked to be a McCulloch SP125C. The rest looked to be Husky 2100CD/2101XP saws. Good stuff!!

edit: i just realized how this went. hahahahah thanks for posting it jim :msp_thumbup: i still have alot to learn about posting that kinda stuff on AS. you wouldn't believe the amount of vids marcel has. he's got a room at his house just packed full. it is a room dedicated to his logging vids. if you liked that vid you gotta see his vid " A Toast to the Loggers of B.C ". best logging video i've ever seen. it's not on youtube but i will try get it here on AS when i go get a copy for myself. i watched it but he was just in the process of converting everything from tapes to dvd's he said i can have one once he makes them.

for some reason i feel like i've held that saw before the sticker on the top cover and the air filter sitting beside it look familiar. i don't know what you california guys are trying to pull but you stay away from our B.C saws if you send it back running good with nothing wrong i'll let this one slide .............

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Oh yeah I know that's a happy man right there:msp_thumbsup: Swet saw Aaron, and thanks for hooking him up Shane! 288 some may not agree, but it is a muscle saw to me:msp_thumbsup:

Saw a thread, asking if you could only own one vintage Husky what would it be. Here was my answer....

 

[Big_Wood]

can you weld norm? i think you need a devil horn dual port done to that muffler. makes a 2100 sound like nothing else. meanest saw ever heard by ears. i've owned many 2100/2101's and have never found one with the stock muffler. they all seem to be modded out here. gramps is gonna be home soon. maybe i'll find another in is shop or one of his sheds :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I would love a Dp 2100 muffler! No I can't weld a friend or two can! Going to have to make it happen! So I have a 1100,2101,288,372,288 builder, and a cherry 395. Cam to the conclusion that my pics for favorite of all time I thin is my 2101 and my 288!

the older saws are hard to beat. they are good performers and outlast all the newer saws. i've probably only seen 1 or 2 blown up 281/288's but i have seen 10-12 blown up 385/390's. sure the 385/390's are way more high strung but the older saws still cut damn near as good and last way longer. if i had to choose just one it would be a 288 or 2100 just like you. i have a dual port muffler somewhere here. when i find it i will ship it to a certain spot in north cali and you and Aaron can battle for it. i want the battle on vid though :msp_thumbup:

Could not agree more Shane... Hey thanks on muffler awesome! Aaron also is now in the 2100 club, had an extra on my shelf. P&C is good, may need crank bearings, overall it is clean, and belongs to Aaron now! And has a cherry muffler too, even better than my other two:msp_w00t:

You're the man Norm. I won't fight you for that DP 2100 muffler cover. All yours.....

Shane's hunting down a starter for me. I'm working on some leads for gaskets that I'll need when I split the cases to replace the bearings. Bearings and seals are easy to get new still. Same ones are also used in the 288XP BTW.

PM received and responded to. Thanks Shane!

 

[Eccentric]

Looks like they're too proud of that starter. With shipping cost it's not worth it to me. The search continues....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Just want to see that smile on your face Aaron, that would mean a lot to me:cool2: Shane thanks again looking out for our buddy! I will look too, we may be able to barter on here.

Thanks bro. Will have to check all the old shops and honey holes. Some other models used the same starter too.

i can get one for just the cost of shipping for Aaron on the 27th when my grandpa gets back. only thing is it will need a recoil spring because this one is missing. i have done very slight modifications to 266 springs and made them work in a 2100 starter so that shouldn't be an issue. if anyone else can find him one yeehhaaww. if not i will get this one by the end of the month and ship it down that way after i throw a spring in there. like i said, may even find another couple 2100's :msp_sneaky: thing is because they are getting more and more rare in my grandpa's shop he is getting stingier and has problems letting them go. i know the starter i speak of is there because i gave it to him because he needed the recoil spring just before he left on holidays. walker's wanted $50 for their starter and when i said ya right they said that i would never find another one. i laughed and sayed i have my ways. tried telling them either i buy it today for $20 or you hold onto it for another couple years or even forever. not every 2100 needs a starter. he wouldn't go down any less then then $40. still really not a bad price if you really needed it but buddy Aaron has to factor in shipping as well so free is the way to go. we'll get him going . oh ya Aaron. just so you know i checked all over the island for a case gasket but still have a couple places to check. i will let you know. so far nada. i know what you mean about that. cutting the odd intake gasket is fine but case gaskets are hurt'n

Thanks Shane!
