Dad's buying Randy's ported 261/262. The only thing it lacks is a 3-shoe clutch and I doubt that will affect it much as much as he's already used it. I can't wait to test drive this.
He said he's buying it for himself and will eventually give to my younger brother (along with the 261 as Dad rightfully bought it as well) who has little interest in the "work" of producing firewood.
I told Dad that if it's as mean as Randy says it is, if/when the time comes for little brother to get it, if He really wants a 60cc saw, I'll buy him a new 555 or 562 and keep the 262 for myself. Otherwise I'll give him what Dad's paying for it and he can do whatever he wants with it. I doubt he'd appreciate the qualities of the 262 anyway and darn sure doesn't have the reactions/experience to play with a light, nasty saw... The 261 is fine as that'll be my reason for buying a 550xp or the Johnny-Red version thereof.
On a different note, my NCOA date got pushed back (for medical reasons) so God-Willing Dad and I WILL be making Hedgefest! Is that October or November?
