key word in my post would have been "seems". I knew it couldn't have been that long as I only registered last December. good to see though bud :rock: when you got a vid ready shoot me a PM. I don't get on here as much as I would like but i get a email notification to my phone when somebody PM's :cheers:

Thanks again Shane. I don't know when I'd have been able to get a 288XP if you and a few other guys hadn't helped me out. We'll get some video of it in the wood.
 
Thanks Shane for helping our buddy! To me 288's are addicting. One of the all time greats and one of my favorites.
 
So, where is my 5.3?

You want me to build you one Randy? May take a while to gather parts and such. We can make it happen. We'll talk about the specifics later. Lots of options with that saw series (high top/low top, 81 or 87cc, etc).

For now, you have the original 5.3ci/87cc hotrod work saw. Here's my pair of 5.3ci saws. 287XP (I like that number better.....maybe I can get a decal made up...) and McCulloch Super 250. Both filled the same role, but in different decades.:msp_thumbup:

Was going to say I remember a good friend, saying I love 87cc saws! We will work on it buddy, and find ya one..:clap:

I still owe Randy from an earlier deal. If he wants, I can get a good start on a 5.3ci Husqvarna project as a way to square up with him. Shouldn't take too much beyond that to finish it up. May just take a while. Probably a winter project....

i'll donate a bluetop and filter for it.:)
 
I'll shoot for that Randy. Depends on what I can scare up as a starting point, and when I can get it. You're coming down for the GTG I hope. If I don't have your 5.3 done by then you'll at least be able to run mine.:msp_thumbup:
And if u don't have yours done, you and Randy, can each run one of mine:rock::rock::clap: Hey all muscle fans, just posted a link, nice 2100 in the classifieds.

Mine's all done and running strong Norm. Just waiting on an A F element to come in. Hopefully I'll be able to get started on Randy's saw soon. Lotsa projects still. Probably won't get to my 2100CD, Homelite 2100-S, or Poulan 5200 until winter. Priority is sorting out Steve's 4-30A, finishing up Bob's PM850, Randy's Husky 5.3, and rehabbing my SXL-925W.
 
Love it muscle projects, and the sound of November in the air, can almost smell the wood chips, and fire burning! Aaron u working this Friday? I may cut at westside.
 
Yeah Sean?:msp_scared::taped::bang: Good luck with that eh! I will just find u another bar he's such a flake. Hey Saturday bbq here, if u want to bring the family.
 
Family can't be there this time, but I can. Could also fix the tank vent on your 2101XP while I'm there. LMK when to arrive, and text me your address. I haven't ben there since June of 2012, and my memory is a bit sketchy.

I have a 28" b/c on the 287XP now, and have a 30" bar that I could use with a new chain once I dress the rails. IIRC, it takes 98DL of 3/8-.050G. Will keep an eye out for a 32"-34" 3/8-.063G bar for that saw, since Sean flaked on the 32" 3/8-.050G b/c. JJ is hooking me up with a 36" bar for my 2100CD. Also trading for a 42" bar for that saw for when we're cutting something big. May not get that saw together until the winter.

Took a breath and break from hunting, cutting wood and smelled the roses awhile, with some of my dearest friends=family.
