I sorta hated boxing it up.......I took it out to where a large Chestnut Oak had been brought down in a storm and diced a few chunks out. I was real happy with way it pulled even with the bar buried.
the most impressive part to me was when you dogged er in she jus kept spitting lots of chips. most saw tests we see, it seems the dogs are off limits or something. guess the no dog thing goes along with the free reving thing. keep practicing MM, i'm gonna send you one one of these days and i want you to learn everything you can before you work on my chit, lol :msp_wink:

Don't worry, you can send the funky monkey whatever you got and he can handle it :D If he learns anything new at this point he starts forgetting something else......
 
So, what are the mechanical differences between the 550/545? Same crankcase? Different port setup?

Mostly the sticker on the recoil and some paint. Case/crank stuffers as well. And I can't confirm if the porting is different but I assume it is, along with the lack of revboost which is a neat feature but very minor in most cases and also not mechanical.

Tom are the stuffers available?
 
I'm not sure of the significance, but the PN for the P/C's are different bw the 545/550. Today, I just ordered my first 550 P/C---$230.

It may just be the trans covers that are different, maybe the porting as well?
 
Well we must know........order 3 of them and charge em to Wiggs.

They're already on the way. He owes me all kinds of monies. The past couple of weeks everybody been charging stuff to his account saying they got the ok and all........
