Fraser I was wondering the same thing about saw weight on Acres site. My 075 was supposed to weigh 25.5 with a 21" bar, but my PHO weighed almost that much on it's own, and it ended up 27lbs boxed......???.

10 lbs of carbon buildup in those two gallon cylinders, 4 lbs of sawdust in the nooks and crannies, and gummed up gas and oil for another lb in the reservoirs. sounds about right to me...
Who wants credits? I have lots to share! :hmm3grin2orange:

Danno, just when I was starting to think you were alright you had to go, and say something like that............LOL!!!!! You may be correct.

Do you keep the extras in a building eight miles from your house too, or is that just for your spare 300 saws?
I only have 60 saws! About 50/50 running or not. :hmm3grin2orange: A lot of that is just home owner stuff!Only about a dozen good ones? So how many you got there Goofball? :hmm3grin2orange:

I dont know squat about doing this sort of thing such as raffles, tickets and keeping track,,,,,, but I do know Tlandrum had his hands full with trying to work for a living and keep up with the Back pack build off,,, I am open to suggestions and was putting it out there to see if it would draw interest,, I will get with Steve @ Cutting Scotts Place or Spike 60 and see if they will throw in a 28" B&C at a decent price,, And we will sort out the particulars as the week progresses and announce prices and how to manage the funds PM me or work saw collector if you have any Ideas,,, I feel it would be a conflict of interest if Myself, E Copsey, or Stumpy bought tickets so I feel it is only fair that we exclude ourselves,,,
I want to personnaly and publically thank Keven AKA Smitty, And E Copsey,
Thanks Guys!!!!!! as their generosity is off the chart,,,, and that really is what inspired me to do this,,, I have been flooded three times in my life and lost most everything including a house,,, So I know what Stumpy is going through,,, Peace Out!!!!!!

Well my Goofy friend from Crazeysburg I have 12 saws, and 75% are good runners, but now i realize I only have 11 since my 075 is somewhere around the Rockies, and it's going to a home to be named later........LOL!!!

I just got off the Phone with Eric Copsey,,
we have struck a deal for another Raffle saw fund raiser,,, I will be donating the saw and any new parts needed,,,
Eric will be doing the build,,,
Here are the particulars,,, (If I'm posting this in the wrong place let me know Im sure the Mods can move it,,)
The saw is a very lightly used Makita 6401 that I picked up from HD rental center (see paragraph below),, anyway, I am just arrived @ my S. Tx work location in Matagorda County Latitude 28.9° , and the saw is 198 miles back NE of me in Orange County so I cant post any picks but I assure everyone for an ex rental saw it is very nice,, will post up pics when I get home,,, and Im sure Eric will put some of the build pics up once he gets started
here is the rest,,,
I bought the saw right after I met Tlandrum, stumpy, Eric, Grandpatractor, Wendell,,,,,,, and a many other fine AS Folks @ The 372 build off In TN,,well while there I was able to run Wendell's and grandpatractors EC modded 7900's!!!!!! it really got me fired up,,, So,,,, then I purchased a Dolmar 7900 OEM P/C From Cuttin Scott!!!!!! with the intention of doing the mods myself,,,Well with all the tree work I have right now besides my regular Inspection work I dont have time and its just collecting dust,, and besides I do good just to fix the stuff I have too to keep two tree removal & stumpgringing crews in saws (mostly Stihl 90%) when I get home on the weekend,,, (BTW) Im starting to put a few huskies in their hands and so far they like them.....
So the raffle saw will be PHO EC'd work saw DOLKITA 7900,,,
What do yall think???? I think some lucky person is going to win a real Rocket of a saw !!!!!!!
and of course all the proceeds to go to stumpy's new shop or kids clothes or groceries christmas toys or whatever,,,
Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!

Keeping up with this thread is like trying to rope a dust devil. I went to town for a few hours and it took twenty minutes to catch up. I have some people lined up to rep,but am waiting for a reload. I know there are a lot of people who have sent donations that we don't know about,so KUDOS to them. Slow as I type I'm probably a page behind by the time I post this:smile2:
