Good deal buddy! Congrats:msp_thumbup::msp_thumbsup: I know I am not the most computer savvy either.

Yep the good old first saw days! Good to see you Jim hope all is good buddy! Anything new or exciting in your arsenal?

Nothing new, but I am getting close on getting one of the Poulan 8500's ready to be put back together and hopefully running. Everything is good we are getting some weather which makes working on my saws a little harder as snow removal takes priority and longer hours at work. Hope everything is going well in your neck of the woods.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

All is well here, getting some weather too. First rain in months, and a lot of it. Poulan 8500 eh? Sounds like what we like, a big un! I will have to look it up not familar with it. Good deal though.

Bow saws

I have never had my hands on a bow saw. Be curious though to try one. 10 acre wood lot sweet!

Just picked up three homy 14" NOS bow bars and tried one out!!!! easy as pie!!! fast and supper easy use, no bending over or forcing the cut, the bar and foot make leverage just like a pipe wrench, you have to back her off or it'll stall your saw.
And the best part, no binding or pinching when bucking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAST!!!!!!

only had it on a midget 70cc Parter 7000+ but hope to put one on a 5 cube pioneer!!!!! or 6 cube if one falls in my lap.

My big Huskys 2100/2101 are kinda over kill for 81dr chains on a bow bar, or my 505 Poulan for that matter.

You know a funny story for a muscle saw man= Me the first saw I ran was a black and decker, or craftsman electric, though you would get a kick out of that Steven. Funny too as many saws as I have ran big chainsaw wise, skills saws like in my avatar pic always made me nervous! Different feel to em Neil it was 10 pm when I asked you time difference, so we got about a 7 hour difference. Yep and thanks that other spot good place!

When i first saw your avatar i thought you were haveing a pid#le, put my glasses on and yep a bit different.

some maple and oak limbs from earlier this fall.

norm-this is what happens with a bow bar. like timberdollars says, fast and easy on the back !
i started out to take some pics, had the camera in my pocket, but was having too much fun cutting, forgot until i was done.
the 4000 loves that hardwood ! 65cc -3/8 semi chisel, no problem.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Duane, and Allyn good stuff! I will have to check it out some time never would have guessed that. Neil that's funny stuff! If I was taking a piddle, they mighta band me! LOL!:spam:

There is a Johnsered 2095 on the Knoxville TN craiglist for $425 obo if anyone is interested.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice! Good heads up on the muscle saw!:msp_wink: Craigslist can be good to us!

 

[bryanr2]

Hey, Norm- suppose I bought the Johnnyred 2095 today, you think I could officially join the muscle club?

 

[joeclimbing]

I've been away for awhile (the usual hunting season break and full time working excuse) but I'll never tire of your muscle saw thread. 2101s rule. Now I think I'll start her up this weekend just to watch her shake.

Good job, Norm - keep on trucking!

Your friend,

Thanks, and same here brother:msp_thumbsup: I thought when I first started this thread it may generate a little interest, but probably die off. Should have known better, muscle saws, and good friends stick around awhile.

Right on! Just glad all was ok, been awhile. Great to see you thanks on the thread. Love the thread, and the saws. But my friends like you guys make it a special place!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice saw buddy!!!!!! I dug up this old pic, a Tan oak shy of 5 foot through I think, or close to it. I have to give a salute to my trusty 044 in the pic, still have it, and use it all the time. Trees this size can, and have been average for our cutting over the years. Though I wished a time or two I had the money for a muscle saw, the 44 pulled me through in this size wood, many times over. Thanks 044 my old friend!

Ok Norm you need to start the Big guy with a big saw cutting a big tree thread. I have a video or two but only one pic with big guy and saw, no tree.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Jim! And that pic is priceless my good friend! Priceless I say! Speaking of hats off I want to thank all you my great friends for such good times, and traveling this road with me, almost 100 pages! Gained a few friends along my travels. Thanks my brothers!

 

[homelitejim]

Yep, got the same thumb hook in the pocket look as you. LOL. Getting close to 1500 posts as well my friend.

 

[NORMZILLA44]
