2101xp/ top all time muscle saws!!!!!!!!!!!

[NORMZILLA44]

Loaded up for the am cutting. Stripped down saws, and worked on em all today. One thing I have notice and like about the big husky. Where the air box, and filter is sets up high, and away from the chips that get deflected. No air injection, but the filter stays clean and runs along time. Really like the build and craftsmanship on that saw, kind of custom.

Awesome Cary love to see it. Got in some nasty, tough oak today. Toughest Oak I think I ever cut. Chain threw some sparks, had to cut at the union where the tree split. Parmeter and me had the 66's and 2101. My girlfriend Jeanie was there, and asked for us to make a bench, out of the toughest piece LOL! Here is Parmeter getting it started, and getting a feel of the husky.

I hear ya gettin' itchy lad.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yep came up short today, say 99cc LOL!

Norm isn't texting me every day about the 1100CD yet. Won't be long 'til he's at that point however....


I'll bet Parmeter is getting itchy for his 112cc too. Here's his saw all back together. Hit a snag however. Gotta scare up a throttle trigger for it, as the old one is worn out and jams up the throttle rod. You don't want a stuck throttle on this beast...

Here's my post in the Homelite thread.

This is a true old American Muscle Saw.

Looking good Aaron, and funny while reading your homelite thread post on it. I was thinking look at that old Warhorse, then saw you said that too! Muscle fans think alike. I can't wait to run it I should have saved the butt end log, and union from yesterday. Sum beetch! Test any saw have not seen wood that tough in awhile, chain sparking man tight grain and dense too. Valley Oak. Oh yeah you know me licking my chops 1100:msp_tongue::msp_w00t:

It is Fraser. Part of a three way trade that's in the works. Trading with Randy for the 1100CD, then trading the 1100CD to Norm. I can't post pics, as I don't have the saw yet (that's why Norm's itchin'). Randy and I will be meeting up soon to exchange saws, parts, and BS. I'll have to dig a pic out of the GTG or six cube threads....:msp_thumbup:

Found one in Norm's "Working Man" thread.

How bad do you want it?

Man that took some digging to find. Just cut and pasted Randy's whole post. His words are fitting here....

Tree job yesterday, and as always was itching for the 2101. But grabbed the 660, since it seemed sidelined lately. Though not forgotten, and gets used always. I had my truck with my dogs around a corner not far, but when I get cutting, don't like to stop and get gear or another saw unless needed. Had the 372 and 660, used both but the day belonged to the 66!

good lookn pic Norm. What kinda wood? Got a picture with a wider view of the whole tree?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks, and live oak.

 

[carym2a]

:msp_thumbup:Live oak is great BBQ wood

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Did not know that, never tried it I don't think. We have tried tan oak, but sure I had food from oak pits that used it.

 

[homelitejim]

Well fellas, I had to do some horse trading but I got my 2100CD back. Now I need to find out how to disable the governor in the carb, can someone direct me to the thread? It feels good to have here back and I have a few free spots in the shop.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

:msp_thumbsup::msp_thumbup: What can I say Jim, that is so awesome. I know out of every saw ever run through my hands, it's second to none. I know guys use a soda can cut out, and plug it, or just a welsh plug, and just plug it off. I can't remember where we talked about it, but we did, and pics too, maybe even in here. How about a pic for old time sake! And your vid is still a classic!

It has a V stack now and a home made foam filter, I will replace the filter with a K&N, I also have a 480 here with a properly operating carb, the carb on the 2100 hits the governor way too soon and not when it is supposed to. I will look for the post and see if I can fix it or just replace the carb. Sorry Norm looks like I will need to keep the spare case I picked up.
