Want to Buy Super lightweight Rear-Handle Saw (i.e. MS192)

[Naked Arborist]

Appreciate the search, but that's top handle -- have seen lots of top handle 192's locally...rear handles seem tough.

I may end up buying one on eBay, but was hoping to give a forum member my business if they had something suitable!

Love the old 020 style, but it seems like a ~10 pounder as well, documentation seems scant going back that far and for something made for 25 years! 10 pounds doesn't seem like a lot, but once you start doing the percentage differences, it seems huge over a MS150, 192 rear handle, etc. etc.

Do all the percentages you want. 020AV will still run and maybe even cut after a ride down the mountain. The 020T AVE is a tough dude also. You can call those 192's parts after that trip. I have some super clean PP saws in 295 and 220, Stihl's like 009 011 and some Micro XXV's. Most low hours. One I got brand new ITC the PP295 ten tanks maybe. Another acquired PP295 runner parts saw could be fixed up. Offered them to Jon several times. I guess he don't want or need them. Plenty of Stihls forsale but no small ones except mentioned ones and a few 192's getting freshed up.

Phew, you're a busy guy. First off, good to see someone from Cherry Hill, have lots of family from there and friends there now.

Your 192s are all top handles, right? (from another post I saw?) I'm in no rush if you have a few to refresh.

Totally agree about the 020 being more robust, heck, I'm probably in the 'buy both' position but have a rebuilt Homelite 33cc that I should let fall down the mountain first. "This" saw should at least start out its life on my nice level lot!

If you have a chance, PM me the 009 details. That's still losing a 1/3rd of the weight of my 034!
thanks,
