Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

I think this last storm went out south of us here......got 3" overnight...spit all day and snowing pretty good right now...but I think the most of it missed us......not feeling left out or my feelings hurt.........I need longer legs or shorter arms......lugging two buckets of water at a time out to Hoss through 3+ feets of snow is becoming less than fun........

is Hoss a horse? you need some snowshoes or some tracs on a 4-wheeler.
Isn't winter fun? We got a boat load of snow last year

Yes.... Hoss is a hoss........what I really need is spring.......LOL!!!

I see a lot of parts cleaning in my future, wow, 5 sets of 044 crankcases, rear handle tank assys and all the little parts to build them with...LOL
Thanks Colin!!

 

[Welder56]

No problem Jerry!! figured someone like yourself could do some magic with them. If your missing anything just give me a hollar Thanks for the 034. That thing is in great shape. I got all the plastics off. Gonna take Em to work to give it some "Colin love" On my breaks haha.

 

[pioneerguy600]

I do want to build another 044 or MS 440 and another hybrid 046. These two may now have heated handles....

 

[Welder56]

That would be Deadly

Would come in handy in bitter days like today

 

[pioneerguy600]

I really find heated handles the best on days in the fall and early spring when its not really cold enough to wear gloves but cold enough that bare hands go numb holding saw handles for hours at a time. When it gets really cold out like now I will be wearing gloves and can`t really tell if the handles are heated or not.

 

[Welder56]

Hahahahaha I can believe that. I was out in the shed taking the plastics off the 034. took about 5 minutes. Shoveled a little bit, Came inside the house, couldn't feel my fingers. So it would be handy when it's not so cold

 

[Stihl 041S]

We've had almost an inch!!!!

[Cantdog]

Bragger LOL!!

 

[pioneerguy600]

An inch? We get that each night as flurries! .....LOL

 

[295 tramp]

The weather man has us in a winter watch supposed to get maybe 4"

 

[Jimmy in NC]

We got ....



RAIN!

Keep the frozen rain up there!

 

[Jimmy in NC]

So the local Squealer tried again. I really thought they would be kind today.. actually got to talking about old Super Whiz Homelites and all.. nope.. no love. I really wish I had a decent local dealer. I've never seen an auto parts or equipment dealer tell you... "Nope don't have it." I've always heard "I can have that ..." or "It appears we are out of stock on that but I can have another one here... "

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Also the dingle berry started off with.. "Ohh an 028.. those are getting hard to find parts for." As I left I thought no crap.. you don't stock them!

 

[pioneerguy600]

The 028 is a very old saw design and OEM parts will soon become NLA for them, the aftermarket parts suppliers are ramping up to make parts for them, hope they get at it and make all parts available for them. I doubt I will ever run out of 028 parts....LOL

 

[295 tramp]

I doubt I will ever run out of 028 parts....LOL

I have 2 complete saws 1 with and 1 without chain breaks and a large box of parts.
Everything went good at the docs visit this morning. We have 3-4" of snow and still going

 

[pioneerguy600]

Out one day doing cleanup after a wind storm with 3 of the 028`s in the truck,
