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

[NORMZILLA44]

I'm not really biased in the Stihl / Husky battle and love 2100's and of course the 288's, but like I said before an 056 Mag is a force to be reckoned with. Definitely a huge "muscle saw" contender!!


Norm.....Congrats on finally getting that long awaited 288....That saw has all the right things to become a great saw....Looks pretty good in the rough....If you need anything for it, hit the swap meet thread....I've got a heap of stuff in my stash and many other guys do too.:msp_thumbsup:

Thanks buddy Im real happy! Andyep you and Jim are right on, the 056's were hoss's all of em! Used to own one loved it! Aaron just saw your post yeah I always find a parts saw LOL! Shed full I can't part with! Glen 394 great saw man.

Ouch.

We're having some huge frosts ATM as winter ramps up, even a little sleet the other day.

Up in the hills 60km NE of here where Neil has his mill I don't think he's had snow yet but it won't be far off.

update,,,, yes we got snow but not for long, it just kept up that mungrel wind and sleety sh#t, the stuff that stings after a bit. Was not a fun week at all and this week is shapeing up to drizzle piss then rain and back to drizzle again.

I am cleaning out my shop and will be arranging things to facilitate my CAD, while I was doing that I took a few brakes and went through my Stihl 056 MagII, cleaned it up a little filled with gas and oil, tuned it, and put it in some wood. I was trying to get my daughter to film it but the saw was too loud for her and she refused and to be honest the chain could have been sharper but holy crud can this saw run. I am biased though as the 045/056 are my favorite all time saw. Here it is with a 32 inch Oregon bar and 3/8 skip tooth on a 8 pin rim, only thing missing is the filter and cover, or a nice V-stack and foam filter, I could go either way.

So thats what the 056 looks like, the one on the bench has along way to go.

Nice saw!!! Strange weather huh Neil? Cary got your message and thanks!!! Update sold my buddy, my real good friend Sean the runner of the 2100's. He is paying for all the parts and Im going to fix it up for him. It was hard to sell, because its a strong saw. But I will already have the 2101, and have a sweet ass 1100 coming! Now a 288 too, so Im ok and he is a real good friend, and has wanted one now hes in the club!

So... you have spawned another 2100 CAD freak, takes the pressure off the rest of usI have a good 2100CD and a parts 2101XP, but now I'm thinking she should be brought back to life.:hmm3grin2orange:

[Eccentric]

What happened Glen?

Norm got your text. Was in the shop until late. Leaving late tomorrow morning. Will contact you when I head home on Sunday so we can meet up and I can hand you that Husky you've been waiting for.

 

[tramp bushler]

the pm mail box has a kink in it
you can empty it but the msgs are still there. in the way . I finally figured out to go to the edit folders tad and jettison them there.

Yep. If you move messages to folders, they still count towards that 70 PM total. Gotta delete 'em. Don't forget about your 'sent' box too, as the messages in there also count towards your 70.

Sort by motor size, nothing under six cubes.

Yes I did. 1100CD will be riding home with me tomorrow. I could probably be persuaded to make a stop in Hopland on the way tomorrow.

Son of a bisquit! Wish I had not dropped the ball, and be having a good time with my friends in Humbolt! Instead I am out with the dogs, got my 65 fixed thanks to you my good friend. What would I do without the few real good AS friends I love ya! So Norm is hanging with the dogs in the shade, wishing I had whiskey, instead of beer, but the heat made me thirsty got a six pack down! Was on the phone yakin, it overheated, hope the laptop holds up!
