Here he is sitting atop his throne surveying all that is his....

And here he is taking a much needed nap after his ride home....

Good one :jester:

Looks too purdy to get dirty!

 

[04ultra]

Just wondering...BTW Nice saw Casey

 

[CaseyForrest]

GOOD EYE Ultra!!! I had the limiters pulled off while I was there, and hadnt gotten the tabs sliced off and put back in yet. Thats why the boot is/was still off.

 

[Rspike]

What is it ? MS180 ?

 

[04ultra]

It sure is purdy.....

 

[CaseyForrest]

Spike, thats a heavily modded 170. Ive been waiting since January to get it in my hot little hands. After I run it I will give the information on the builder.

Ok Casey tell us what bar your going to use and is the bar as purdy as the King...opcorn:

 

[CaseyForrest]

Well, it will mainly be a milling saw. Ive got a well used 28" ES bar for that. Ive also got a brand new GB Ti bar in 20" and 28", the orange matches very well. And then there is the 36" ES bar, only used once so far, but it may become my milling bar when I find some softwood to mill!

 

[CaseyForrest]

Hey Steve, I see ya down there. I got those jets. I am not going to be able to get to the shipping store today. Monday, Three jets, the one you sent me, a new .70, and new .72, the cylinder, and the air filter cover will go out.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Neat pictures. Thats a mighty fine looking saw there. Sure wish I had one of those to look at. I have one almost like that but you have to look way up to see it sitting upon the THRONE, (the shelf over the bed),:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

one King owner to another King owner..

 

[CaseyForrest]

Brandon, whats your first impression of that bar....

Oh yeah, I also picked up 2- 3/8, 50 gauge RM chains while I was there. I will keep them in the box untill we meet up.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Tom, dealer had an 880 on the shelf with a 36" bar on it.....I Almost got it....I was close...but after picking it up, and thinking to myself, "damn this thing is heavy!!!!"

Brandon, whats your first impression of that bar...

That it's shiny? Honestly, I unboxed it, threw it on the saw and snapped a picture. Haven't really studied it yet, sure haven't cut with it yet (we're babysitting an 18month old today, no energy left to cut right now...). It does feel lighter than the Oregon 28" that I have on the Dolmar, though.

Oh yeah, and it was cheap, which is nice.

Awwwwwwwww your a smart man, you got a much more usefull saw than the 880. The 880 is too much saw for regular everyday use, just too big. Fun to look at and marvel over but for use, its limited due to its weight and size.
You did good,you made a much better choice, welcome to the King Club ole boy. You will enjoy that 660.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Ok, Ive thought about getting one of those carlton bars.....

Anyway, those chains are 72DL, I forgot to put that in.

For the price it's hard to go wrong. I may order a 36", too, since they're a bit cheaper than Stihl or GB.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Yeah, for me that 880 would go they way of your shelved 660!!! Never get used.

Not I just need to find someone to professionally modify the standard muffler cover for me!!! I got the DP cover, but hear they are still quite restrictive.

 

[04ultra]

Well it looks like its time for me to get a new 660 ..I only have used ones...
