I know exactly what you mean. Ex-wife used to do crap like that all the time. I was supposed to know how to fix everything because I'm a guy. Never mind the fact she doesn't know how to sew, is a lousy cook, etc.

Hey @Ambull01 if you want another vintage saw to add to the stable we should get you a Mac, the "right" shade of yellow
I don't know anything about those older Macs, have to do some research. I want to get this Poulan running like a champ before I go ape **** on saws and find out I suck as a small engine mechanic.
Much easier to find a good running 044/440, and a much more versatile saw!
But I'll admit, that old yellow looks real nice!

044 is the one Stihl I would really consider if I needed something that big.
I've got nothing against Stihl in general it's just that I'd buy the comparable Husky for anything smaller and the 044 doesnt really have a comparable, theres either larger or smaller.

Hey Reid:
Stay clear of them old yellow saws, they are heavy, loud, viberate and last forever.
I have a couple of MAC 10's, so I know where I speak, but they sure put out the wood.
Back to tying to refill BIC lighters

The Stihl's near me are all kind of steep in price, even though some of them look like they were buried in 6' of dirt. I would like to own a Stihl someday. Perhaps once my grudge against them wears off. My feathers are a bit ruffled because I have to make a special trip to an authorized Stihl dealership just to buy some of the Stihl Ultra HP oil.

There was one local on Craigslist the other day for a steal ($400 and little use)...but I have the 391 that I haven't even taxed yet.
I'm finding myself looking for a smaller Stihl, something with more umph than my little Homelite, but in a similar size package. I like my dad's ms170...also like his 028Super....
I guess I'm gunshy of buying a used saw...there is just too many ways to destroy one. Probably make a rash decision and buy a new small Stihl one of these days....

Reverse psychology huh, I like it lol.
Didn't think you could refill those things. You must be bored.
The 272/372 is the same size as the 044/440, they are both good saws, and the 362 and 562 are the same size & power, with the big difference being if U prefer an inboard clutch (362) or outboard clutch (562).
Both companies (and some others) make a lot of good products, the new ones are just so expensive. That new 661 is getting rave reviews!

Same here unless the price was right or I knew the owner.
I think if I was buying a new saw(s) it would be in this order: 550XP, 372XP, 562XP...... After I get the Mac running and decide how deep I want to go into my 65 I can decided if there's room for another one...
I thought the 044 had about a half horse more than the 372 and was a big heavier/larger?
The 372 is rated at 5.3 Hp, and I think the 440 was rated at 5.4 Hp. However, the old 10mm 044s (that out cut both of them) were rated at 5.1 Hp!
They all have 70.7 cc displacement.
I don't trust the published wts, I think they are both about 14 lbs for the powerhead.
IMO, these are the best all around saws if U only have one, with the 60 cc saws being a very close 2nd.

It's about 4* out there when I got home , go down to the shed that I have some wood stored in and bring up 2 loads of wood in my sled and put it by the furnace , as I look at the wood I know what 2 stems of maple it was , where I cut it and that it took me a whole day to get to it , cut it up , use the same sled to drag it out to the van , try to split it but it had a spiral grain and ended up using the Super Split to split the load and it was sunny ,,,,, All this by the colour of the bark but don't ask me my when are my brother's birthdays LOL
I looked back at some of my pics , it was hidden in this mess LOL
Anyone else having problems with AT&T tonight? Much of the Midwest is offline due to some problem with their networks.
