Oh man, that was all the rage last summer. The kids at my job couldn't handle themselves. We had to have a special staff meeting clarifying what we are getting paid to do lol.
Pro saw? I though they were a pro-consumer model at the most. Still a clam-shell model if I remember correctly.

Ahhh thanks for clarifying. So it's a clamshell pro saw?

What made the 280 a pro saw anyway? Anti-vibe? Adjustable oiler? Don't know much about them.

Alright alright Austin just send one south and I'll check it out 
It's a home owners version of an over priced clam shell saw with Stihl sticker stuck on it made in China from parts made in Mexico that were boxed in Pakistan, that were labeled in India. Another throw away saw that my dad had that i worked on more that his $100.00 Poulan that some poor old sap stole off of his carport.

One thang after another with his, leaked more oil than a Texas oil rig.

The person that stole it thought it was, well he should have stolen the new wild thing that was in the case that was two feet from it, guess he found out later. Carb problems, mounts breaking, replacing oil line yearly, and those stinking flippy caps.

More than likely wasn't used by the thief. It was probably sold without even trying to start it

CAD...The struggle is real.
I am used to normal oiler and gas caps but never understood the complaints about the Stihl flippy caps. If you are smart enough to skip Velcro and tie your own shoe laces you can easily work a flippy cap with no tools needed. I actually dislike certain old style caps. This is what happens when you try to use the scrench to take off an Echo cap.

Same thoughts also. Actually would prefer the flippy caps on my other stihl tools than the normal caps. They are impossible to overtighten, and I have a much less chance of leaving the fuel cap off, as I have done so conveniently twice so far this year with normal screw on caps.

I just bought some p51 parts that I hope to use for my p52. I wonder if everything is interchangeable.

Good day. Lets see---I heard a neighbor cutting wood-Storm trees-Got to talking and ended up with a homelite XL-like new(1st saw I ever ran) and he gave me 3 tomato cages I needed. Transplanted some tomato plants. Went by my Stihl dealer-restocked fuel lines and talked to my 2 contacts(they remembered I hunt old and scrap saws) .Left my # they will call me at trailer cleanout time-full of old saws/scrap. Hit flea market-rebuilding after the tornados. Saw old friends--Bought more tomato plants. Scored a Coleman military lantern. Fuel tank has a built in parts well with seals,mantles,leather pump cup and a Wrench tool to disassemble lantern etc. All parts were still there-had not been opened. Nice lantern with its own funnel and fuel cap attached by small chain.Did I say I like Coleman!! Guy had a 25da poulan $5 - will get it next week-I would be the only 1 who would want it--LOL. Took my cs-590 and xl12auto to some pine and oak on a roadside--cut me some fire wood cookies-big trees-had a blast. Cool here-had a fire outside-Real nice---David
Just a little sore this morning from all the fun and frovolities of yesterday--Got a Pioneer 650 coming in--Looking for a long bar for it-Any sources-ideas?? May be my milling machine...Can't believe I left the little green poulan out there--Must be losing my CAD--If that happens I don't know what I will do with the few saws I have

Love me some pump up Coleman.
Mothers day--Be sure to get a meaningful card,gift,flowers or do something special for the woman that had you. I gave mine some tomato plants all set up with baskets.. If you have a wife on the property thank her for all she does with the kids--I got heart I tell you--looking for 1 good woman---David
