[LonestarStihl]

Saw a 35 Mcculloch with bow bar --E bay Bid and won for under $100.00 shipping included-- Looked at past sales- Bar alone went for $200.00 ++ . Bar has 90 degree round handle----

Wow that's awesome. Is it for my birthday?

 

[46 Poulan]

I know Stihl is what you run-you don't want a old,heavy ,yellow ,bow,gear reduction--maybe I need to send you my MS180 instead

 

[astnmacgto]

I wish there was a swap meet in my area that did it like monthly, there are some around but never usually any saws

 

[46 Poulan]

May need tips to get it going later

Those suitcase models are neat cause you could get different attachments for them

I should have a computer copy of the ipl for that saw, I'll send it to you

 

[46 Poulan]

Yeah this happens about 3 times a year--Has turned into a large show/swap meet

Daydreaming about tuned pipes............


Anybody here into vintage snowmobiles? Wait..... yall are from the south that was a dumb question...

What about you 903? Your a new Englander

A snowmobile with a huge pipe or pipes is awesome. most have multiple pistons as you know. Going from idle to insane Rpms without shifting is intense. 0 to 60 mph in a few seconds is now considered child's play. 80 to 90 mph is slow compared to new sleds. I haven't watched the X-games in a few years but they are doing back flips now! My sleds are fast and fun enough for me. I couldnt imagine a new pro sled. Anyone down south watch the videos of the guys up north turning there dirt bikes into snowmobiles?

And you know I will spend the rest of my days trying to get them

Do snowmobiles have a variable sheave transmission like a golf cart??

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Haha guys you make my day! I redact my statement slightly, not having two potential accidents on the drive home from school was my bright spot. Trucker hauling a** around a corner, and a real brilliant one who decides that a narrow bridge, just over a hill, is the best place to stop for whatever reason.

Also, no one should worry about me going to college. I've already got a pretty good head start and I haven't even graduated hs yet. I drive about 30 miles roughly a couple days a week to a community college, and after this semester I'm going to be just a few credits short of a AA degree. Going on to get a bs at a 4 year this fall. And no, i'm not some genius kid (trust me),I honestly prefer to be outside building something, and working with saws of course. Hard work is the key to success, nothing good ever came easy.

Yeah snow mobiles are pretty neat, we had a couple old rupps, but we never got snow, they got all messed up and in need on some major work so I took out the engines to save for a rainy day.

The old rupps we had used a centrifugal clutch with a cogged belt that turned the shaft for a gear box which then turned the actual drive belt

People suck at driving that's what gives some of us jobs.

We aren't worried about you and don't worry we don't think you're a genius [emoji23]. I kid and I'm sure you are a bright guy. Hard work is great and you should work hard in all you do. Get your degree and a good job and make the harder work your hobby. I'm sure many of the guys would agree.

Yes, and even putting them on water! Google Robbie Maddison pipe dream

Well, back to something chainsaw related, anybody interested in a Remington weekender, it's a little bitty sucker, bright blue too

Dude I don't know honestly. I know some of mine are cintrifigul clutches and oil injected and liqued cooled. I buy them cheap or trade saws for them and beat on them once we have decent snow levels. Last year and this year suck for snowfall and cold weather.

Pictures or it doesn't exist. I'm probably not but who doesn't like to see a saw
