Exactly! I want to see someone bring a running sacs dolmar KMS4!

That would be great, I know a guy who has one don't know if he will show up though.

That aside would you settle for a Solo twin to see running?

I don't have any old mag but I hope to have a couple of really cool, big works saws done by then. Well really cool to me but I guess its all relative.

Maybe I can borrow the 2100 I built a month or so back. It was a good runner and it constitutes old mag... Kinda.

And it's about time a Poulan won the vintage class...
Cause I know they're capable of it...

You never know, it could happen.

I have a p61 that could give it a try.

 

[cobey]

what qualifys as vintage? reed valves? mag cases? manual oilers?

Yea I'd really like to see a kms4 run in person.

I have a few that aren't the rarest but they'll be there including a set of echo twin cylinder 610's and a Poulan 655BP; the other iowa guys sold theirs!

Hell I'd like someone to bring one of those big old beast Remington's!

I gotta start workin on some old stuff. No shortage of not-really-rare-but different stuff that should be running by then.

My vacation schedule is weak, so I'm thinking you Friday nighters will see some headlights pull in at 0dark thirty, direct flight from work. Google maps says 4:21 from work, if I ain't there in 4 flat I'm losing my touch. I'm gonna do all I can to stay down there Sat night and cruise back Sunday though.

I'll donate $50 to the cause

I have to wonder how many long distance groups will go back Sunday. It may not be a terrible idea to help pick up the cookies and head them to a bonfire ring?

There are a couple tub grinders in our area.......... it'd be fun to make cookie mulch!

You done anything special to that 111S? Just curious if its stock... I almost had my hands on one some years back but some one snuck it out from under me a couple hours before I got there. Always kinda wondered how they ran.

I'll be there Friday night and I bring a grinder or two for those that didn't sharpen their chain before hand. There are several that own Silvey's but who knows if one of those will show up for race chain sharpening.

That homie is a torque driven monster

That's a bone stock one, they haul the mail for sure. Don't spin too fast but have the torque to compensate. Your more than welcome to run anything I bring as is anyone else.

It'd kinda be cool to have a little saw auction to give everyone a chance at whatever shows up. I know I'll have a few things up for grabs.

I've run several nice 655BP's and my 076 the most of the 100cc-120cc class. I like the power and speed combo I get from the 655BP's but the torque through the old 076 is hard to beat with a 404 long bar...

Should we just make a rule that anything with red tape on the handle is for sale? I can bring several rolls and people can mark whats for sale/trade?

 

[jonsered raket]

That'd work good and maybe try to consolidate everything in one area for sale.

Not a bad idea with the red tape.
