That's a good-looking boy!! Mine wants me to take pictures of him holding every saw in the shop. Almost couldn't keep this one off the ground! I'll post the saw again if the deal falls through.

An uncles mustache shirt. Nice.
I have a junk top handle saw that he beats on with a hammer and screws with
Had some unexpected events concerning the 395, thought I'd update the thread. After getting confirmation from ChadS that he wanted the saw, I went out to the shop to go ahead and start boxing it up. Thought I'd take 15 minutes and look the saw over really close one last time before packaging to make sure it was good to go. I had the recoil cover off to blow out the chips, when I noticed that I could wiggle the flywheel ever so slightly and hear a little play in the crank. It was a faint tapping type noise like a slightly loose bearing. When I had the crank out, I had checked the big end bearing and couldn't detect any up and down play by hand and it rotated smoothly around the crank. Decided to pull the top end off and check it out. The piston pin/bearing was nice and tight, but I discovered that if I wiggled the rod just right up and down, I could hear very small amount of play in the lower rod bearing. I took it to a saw shop tech that I trust and he confirmed it. He said if I continued to run the saw eventually the metal race would probably come apart and the bearings would make a mess of the top and bottom end. Absolutely disgusted over it. What amazes me is the saw ran so good. I didn't hear any strange noises while running, and it's a strong runner. I informed Chad of what I found, and he has decided to pass on the saw (understandably, I would too). I've got too much money into the saw now to not fix it, so I think I'll order an aftermarket crank from the weedeaterman and split the cases again. Probably go ahead and put new crank bearings in while I've got it apart. Don't want to go through this again. Anyway, curious if anybody has any experience with the aftermarket cranks from the weedeaterman site. I imagine they probably pretty good quality, but wondering if anyone had any feedback. I'll probably list the saw again in the trading post after I get it back together. But it will probably take me while to get it together and I'll probably run it for a few months after to make sure everythings okay.
They were running a test on ??Raismn?? crank for a 660 a while ago. Randy Watson (WatsonR)might remember

How much as is....
I'd rather use a good used OEM crank.
$475 shipped as is. I know thats a little high for the saw in this condition, but that's my breakeven price so don't really want to go any lower. anybody got a good used oem crank? Theres one on the feebay for about $100, but a little reluctant to spend that much on a used crank. Worry about getting one similar to what I got.

Will you ship in France? There's a guy not far from me who sell used parts, he has at least 7 394/395 crankshafts for 10€/unit.
Well, I bought a used OEM crank from thechainsawguy in Canada. Just got it all back together about a week ago. I ran across a really good deal on a meteor top end kit for it, so I bought that too. With the base gasket deleted, it's now pushing about 175 psi. Definitely seems stronger than it did with the OEM jug and meteor piston (I think this saw had lots of hours on it, even though it's only a 2009 model). Think I'm going to hang on to it for a few months. My wife wants me to build a gazebo in the back yard and a trellis/sun block over the back door. I've spied out some large cedars on my place and I think I might try my hand at milling if I can get up the funds for a MK III. Anyway, after I've gotten to play with it a few months I'll probably list it back on the tradin' post.

OK, this is good news! I don't really NEED a 395, but you know, CAD...
