She is done!!! Just finished the last touches on it tonight. Going to give it some gas tomorrow and see how it runs. The build went pretty smooth. There were things I wish went better, but first time for most of this stuff. I got 20'' bar and I finally got a loop of non-safety chain to try out. The silly little 361 decal is going to disappear when the oem shows up, and a chain adjuster is another item that is in short order. Will post an update (maybe even a vid) when I get to running it (hopefully tomorrow).

Geez that's cold, I wouldnt even know how to function in weather like that, I've lived in the south my whole life, but I do know how to deal with 46C/105F with 90% relative humidity haha

@LonestarStihl I belive mine was a model 3000 but I'll have to look again to be sure

Whatever model I got was supposedly the most capable one that wasn't a quick chuck type. I didn't want quick chuck

Is there something wrong with the quick chucks? I haven't seen anything bad but I didn't know if you had any experiences or thoughts

I'm not sure if there is or not, I don't think they make as many accessories or bits for the quick chuck

CAD...The struggle is real.
Dremel tools are awesome. So many attachments and uses for a small nimble and somewhat affordable tool. I bought the chain sharpening pieces last year but misplaced them before getting a chance to try them out. On the temperature subject if my mustache freezes up I consider it cold.

If I can feel my nose hairs freeze up while I'm breathing, it's cold

Anything below 32 is cold to me haha, but I'm from the south.
On a different note, I read to put Allen wrenches in the clutch holes and use something like a big screw driver to break the clutch loose, it worked like a charm

That's thinking with your dipstick
Yeah --We know about sun-heat and humid conditions LOL.
Man that saw looks good!! I have a 268 Husky torn all the way down and want to rering,bearing and seals,lines etc--Waiting on me--never have done all that with a chainsaw yet!! Future project
Who all has their Husky and Stihl catologs dog eared-marked up etc to reference stuff they read about or whatever. ON my Husky catolog I have marked where all the magnesiun cased saws start-I am really hung up on the pro saws. I CAN'T TELL so much about the Stihl line up--some one help me. I also record prices of Stihls as I see them listed--I know I can go to dealer sight and look but why can't they just list like Husky.
MS 440 magnum--Sweet but you guys keep raising the bar on me. I KNOW YOU GOT SOME KILLER DEAL ON BOTH SAWS!!!!!!Really I am not envious as I trip over my locked up MS 390 Stihl and reach for my little Stihl catolog to see the specs.
....If this happens to often I will go back to stamp collecting(They are easy store!) and safer>Similar threads
