I keep a few later model Poulan's around for loaner saws. Wouldn't loan out anything where I would have heartburn if it got destroyed, damaged, seized, etc.

Nice saw
Oh Kensie, the cylinder top cover isn't plastic, that's real metal.

I don't mind the rain, but when the ditches looks like rivers and the yards looks like lakes, it's a bit much.

Interesting, never seen a Saw with a Mag top cover, just figured it was plastic like all the other countervibes, I just really hope the thing isn't eaten up with corrosion

I have a stihl bar that the removable tip can be moved back and forth about 1/8". It's acting like the rivets are loose. Has anyone seen this before?

I feel really stupid right now...
Had a pile of people over today for a shooting event, had a great time. Ate grilled burgers and brats. As people were leaving, some friends saw inside of the garage and wanted to see a few saws run. Conversation carried to a Mac SP125, which currently has a stubby bar and large sprocket. I told them how fast is cuts, and got them all worked up to see it run.
Well, my log was too short, so as I started cutting, the log was thrown off of my holder. After replacing the log, I made three cuts, down-up-down, and it was super slow because I didn't let it warm up long enough. A 60cc saw would have cut the log faster. After I shut it off, they all kinda looked at me funny and sarcastically said "yeh, that's fast alright..."
I bragged, and ended up making myself look really stupid because I was in a hurry and didn't have an adequate log. Lesson learned.
So what did you do today?

Beginning of the day was really pretty nasty, but ended quite well. Went to the flea market and found two macs (need to transfer phone photos to computer first, then I will show) as well as a draw knife. I finally got to mill with the 361 after my new improvements. The milling chain helps an enormous amount, both on cut quality and power usage. But it was not all paradise. The oiler on the 361 works much better now, but still looking for a HO oiler for a 460 at some point and just as I was refueling at the very end of the day, the flip fuel cap refused to work anymore.
Leaking all over the place and will not start now. Will have to contact huztl and see about that failure.
Also big news was at the flea market, a kid around my age saw me holding those two saws and asked if I collected saws. Of course I said yes, and he said that his dad has about 20 or so saws that have been hanging in the shed for the last 20 years or so and would like to get rid of them. He himself also has some even older saws that he has worked on that he would be willing to toss in. Gave him a card, so fingers crossed I will be getting a call at some point!!!
