I've got a direct drive version of that saw Norm. It's a few years older (mine's a 900D), but is the same design (except for the starter and air filter) and displacement. It needs a piston/cylinder replacement, which will happen over the winter. They are indeed beasts.

Yes we do. That bar with the stinger is gonna go on my XP1130G. That's a 6.1 cube/100cc gear drive. My saw has a crunched carb box/handle casting and a few other broken bits. I have good used/usable parts to replace most of them. That saw's just going to take some time and a few gaskets to get back in action. Haven't taken any pics of it yet. It sits in the box it was shipped to me in........waiting its turn. It'll get going this winter as well, and before the 900D.

Nice! I did not realize I was up to eleven saw's now. BUt they become part of the family.

I lost count long ago. I send one out and three more come in. Some are parts saws. Some are runners. Some are "almost runners". Some are "more involved" projects.....

LOL! In my eyes, I cant see owning to many. I love the fact that my number is growing. When you get that 750 fired up it will probably cough up a hairball:msp_w00t: Post a pic of that dude now that it is clean I bet I wont recognize it!

It's scattered all over the bench. Some bits are still in need of scrubbing. Parts are on the way. Some have gotten here allready.

weekend show
G'day men,,
Well what can i say, i promised pics of race 2100's and none showed up, Never had time to prepare my own saw.
We had the usual more common saws but no 2100's.
All reading this could rightly say no pics it never happened but, i do have lots of race vids of the day.
Catagories start at U77cc modified production through to O100cc unlimited modified production class. ie piped 088's, 084's and 3120's.
Was a good day but as only a couple of us run the whole day when most of the guys sit in the shade and watch us, it makes pic takeing very hard. Organizing and racing makes a bloody big day of racing.
Soon as i get the footage onto my computer i will put some better runs up.
later neil

That's alright Neil, we know it happened, also remember all muscle saw's welcome not just the 2100, though I have a sweet tooth for em LOL! Taking pic's of my tree job's and hunt's with my dog's has proven difficult too. I understand, because I am usually doing a lot of the cutting, and rigging. And with the dog's three are mine, and I am one of the better runner, handler's. And I am the picture guy too, can't do it all. Glad you had a good time man,

A good friend of mine just dropped off a Stihl 075, being it is sunday night I did not get to it but will this week and I will take lots o pics. I can't wait to dig into this one. Oh yeah, he also brought a Homelite 150 that I told him to take with him but he snuck it in and left it.

Nice Jim! I like the 075's, and 076's. Muscle indeed:lifter: Cant wait to see it. The 150 to, Im not familar with that one.

Keep the bar, chain, and clutch/sprocket parts from the 150 for your E-Z. Ditch the rest.

Real POS to work on, should be a few video's of them on the utube.

Norm the 150 is an ugly, evil little saw. As fun to work on as a mini mac too. They are good B/C and clutch parts donors for Homelite E-Z and Super E-Z saws however...

LOL! Seems like every brand had one shiaty little ******* saw:msp_wink:
Eccentric
Mister Wizard
Yep. As far as the old Homelites go, the 150 fits that role for sure Norm. There's at least one on our local CL right now. He's located in Fairfield. No pic in his current listing, but there was one in earlier listings of his. His saw is an ugly, diry blue/white version. I passed one up at the Meecham dump years ago. Could've got it for a song. Had a blown oiler diaphragm and was drooling bar oil out of the muffler. Common on these saws.
I SHOULD have gotten it for the clutch parts and the SWEET 16" Homelite branded Windsor Speed Tip replaceable sprocket nose that was on it (the chain was even in good shape). Instead I set it back down and watched some moron pull and pull and pull until the cylinder had filled with bar oil and hydrolocked. Crunch. I snickered and walked away..............when I SHOULD have waited for him to set it back down. I could have REALY gotten it cheap as a 'blown' saw at that point. Sometimes I'm not that smart. I had forgotten that they shared B/C's and clutch parts with my beloved Super E-Z's...

Heres a little vid of some post ripping at one of our shows.
Open Post Rip... 8 posts timber... white mahogony
Easily one of the best, if not the best post cutters this country has produced.
Charlie Watkins from NSW.
This is the most phisical event australian saw racing has on both man and machine and also carries the most prestege and prize money.
most popular saws done up for this event are 3120's and 084's with an odd 088.
most popular chain is oregon 95VP in 325 050 gauge, some are using stihl in simular profile.

Thanks norm, just showing you guys we don't just stand and crosscut we do a range of events that test both competitor and saw alike.
Charlie is very hard to beat, i can stay with him in the rips but cannot keep up in wedgeing, that 14 pound hammer he swings is a blur sometimes.
That event is also done as a teams event and also the jack and jill rip. first being one rips the other wedges and same for jack n jill except usualy wives or partners do the wedging. All post ripping events are extremely popular with our spectators.
We also do ladies speed events in modified production classes U100cc and O100cc, the golden rule with ladies is never get caught between them and the block.
