I was thinking ma it's going to be hard to find a chain for that but I realized you could always make your own or have one made. Derrrrr

Yea....I'm really upset the stihl got stollen. I'm just a Stihl guy anyway. I think it was dad's favorite saw too. But we've got some old macs and a ton of Homelites (with 3 filing cabinets of NOS homie parts) so I've got plenty to keep me occupied. Slowly, but surely I'm acquiring the old stuff around the farm and fixing/repurposing it. You can see in the corner of the Homelite pic, the cab and grille of a 1950 international pickup that my Papaw bought new.....it hasn't been tagged since 1963! Plan is to put in on a Ford Crown Vic chassis.

Cool truck ---I had a 54 chevy truck in highschool . 6 cyl. --4 speed with granny gear--It was a real truck!!

White death makes me so sad. Such beautiful saws lost.

That old magnesium does like to corode---

Someone has a strunk model G1 2 man saw on Craigslist. He claims its never been ran. It is painted army green. It's missing the pull start and he wants $450 yikes. I really like it but not that much.

Alright guys I'm away from my saws all week. Tell me something good. Y'all put anything into some wood today? Any new-to-you saws?

I haven't touched any saws yet this week either. Makes me sad also. Hopefully I get my tach in the mail tomorrow and tune the 361. Also going to start on a alaskan mill for it tomorrow as well.

I have thought more about stop buying saws. Get/repair a used big stihl-440,460 and a lower end mill and start putting more time in on that side of it.

Those are some awesome saw models. Have a 660 which I love. Working on a 046

HEY---Guess what happens when someone with a Mcculloch 1-41 lets the saw idle with the bolts loose/missing on the starter cover. RUNS GREAT TILL YOU TURN IT OFF ---THEN IT MAKES A WHRRRRRRRRR SOUND--Guess what the WHRRRRRRRR sound was?????????????????????????????????

Just one of the $10 import ones. Nothing special. Couldn't justify the price of a Stihl one (yet).
