I have two, one in the tool box and one in the house, you are welcome to use one anytime.
Price on one like that should start around $500 and go from there..You, my friend, are an early riser.
Morning all! Nancy is at the dentist, and Emerson is waking up making little happy noises. I plan to have him outside with me while I work today.
I have a question: Would you guys be willing to advise me on how much I should ask for my 361? It's like new, it stihl has the paint dot on the muffler and the little sticker on the front, maybe 2 tanks through it. It comes with box, new 20" Rollo E bar, 5 new full chisel Stihl chains, as well as the manuals and tool kit. I'm not good at selling saws really. I have been telling Nancy I'd sell some saws for quite a while, and I need to start acting more like a man of my word. I have an 026 and an 044, so this saw is not one I've used, though I like it just fine. The AV is nice on it, I'll admit. I never modded the muffler or anything. Only Stihl Ultra oil and non-alcohol 91 octane have been used in it. I'm not really anal..... just when it comes to the exalted orange and white
Also, I have hatched the idea of eventually finding an 076 monster boy saw.....
You got rid of the hi-boy??
Yeah, I know. In one aspect it was hard to do because it was a part of your history. A lot of soul searching went into making the decision. But every time I used it, it ate me alive on fuel. This Bronco gives me a stronger connection to my youngest son, Christopher. He has an '87 he is getting ready to put a 4.0 turbocharged into. So we have our own father/son projects that he wants to take to the local car show.
Don't let me hold ya back... That bronco is cool...

Ok,
I traded off my flatbed pick up and an MS180 for this 89 Ford Bronco II. The nice part is the 1993 Mustang Cobra 5.0 engine that's in it.
The diff's are stock Bronco II, which can handle the 5.0 fine. Where you run into problems is with the stock transmissions. 5.0 will destroy a stock tranny in a heartbeat. Easiest conversion is a C-4 automatic with a C-5 tail housing that bolts right up to stock transfer case. Some Broncos used a Cardone type joint, these have to replaced with cross and roller type (regular u-joints). This rig runs and drives, but it does need work to be an everyday driver. Needs a complete exhaust and oxygen sensors and has some computer wiring problems. Not a problem for me. What I liked was all the engine, transmission and lift kit stuff was already done and done well. Needs some body work, but nothing that will keep it from being driven. The interior is unbelievable, looks like its brand new. Never been used. The transmission has a shift kit, too.
