You know, I feel that cutting wood from piled straight logs that someone else did for you is not quite the same as cutting from trees that have come down naturally that you have to think and work through. Never mind the snakes, scorpions, bull ants and drop bears that we have to contend with over here. I think that @H-Ranch should have a few points deducted from his score for the SOTY trophy because it is just a bit too easy cutting from a pile. There, I said it.
Stihl have 7 months in the SOTY race. Just biding my time watching the competition.You know, I feel that cutting wood from piled straight logs that someone else did for you is not quite the same as cutting from trees that have come down naturally that you have to think and work through.

Thats wild, I put headers on my '66 f100 when I put the 390 in it and it was one of the easiest things I have done. I can not imagine the '75 is that much different.
I just ran one of my dads 290s in a big ash on Tuesday. I forgot how underwhelming they are, and it does not help that my grandfather swapped the chains to 3/8 20in so they would interchange with everything else.
Not having shock towers in your way is a blessing!
Hey @Cowboy254, look at them come running now that they heard there is a trophy! Good luck getting it on a whim though - the last known sighting was with @dancan at an undisclosed location in Nova Scotia.
I knew about it. Just sitting back watching the (ahem) competition.
There fixed it for you.I knew about it. Just sitting back watching the (mayhem) competition.
I have one on my bicycle handled Stihl weedwacker. It is great for small brush with no bending over.
I can’t imagine how slow it’d be with 3/8 20” if the one I ran struggled with 16” .325
Different body styles, different frames, possibly 2wd vs my 4x4. Not something I care to do again when there was an easier option.
The banks long tubes I put on my 96 460 came with a heat shield for the starter, I'm not certain it needed it, but it went on anyway.
The 4x4 is definitely the difference. The frames on the 2wd were relatively all the same from the rad support to the back of the cab on the 2wd from 65-79.
Meh, not really. But I do tell my wife that I'll do what needs to be done. This is more my "speed":
