Hopefully in another month I'll be done with my 5200, then I'll start on my 3400, after that, may start looking for a bigger p/c for my 2800. Nothing is wrong with the 2800, just want to punch it up on cc' s. Haven't ran it sense I restored it to the way it was when I bought it new, been sitting for 7 years on a shelf.

Ah, perhaps I am a little gated with my number, been screwed before, just don't need it to happen again. I'm going to try harder going forward. Pretend I care less about what people think of me even though it is a pretty small campus when it's all said and done.

Same, I don't care do full resto's unless there is legit no paint left. Kind of takes the vintage beauty away from them and I know if I was to refinish them I would be afraid of taking them out again to work. Scratch all that purdy paint up again.

I agree if it's all tore up and looks straight up bad then I'm all about a restoration

O, I'm gonna run these, was running the 3400, got to run the 5200, never ran one with this many cc' s. This one has been my holy grail Poulan, got to try it out.

Those are pretty cool saws. If you just glance over them you'd think it was a Stihl but the curves are a bit different and so on once you start looking

Where you been hiding?

I forgot to refresh the browser on my phone lol, that's why I thought it was dead, but any way.

Nice PM Canadians! I would like to get one eventually!

Here is my latest one, it's coming from Canada.

Ms200t. Just saying...

 

[Mac&Homelite]

By what Kensie keeps on posting who else thinks that this new Dolmar is going to be the bee's knees for him?

 

[LonestarStihl]

We just need to find him some NOS plastic pieces such as the starter

It's already going to be a shelf queen as is. Don't need to make the temptation to keep it a permanent one any stronger with new plastics.

What's wrong with the plastics?

All I see is the McCullough paint coming through from wear.

Tell me what y'all think, full wrap.

Seems pricey

 

[s sidewall]

More than I have into the saw, so far. Still have more parts to get.

It'd be nice if they'd at least post a picture on there so you could see what you were buying

Bent pipes with electrical tape wrapped around it.

That's my point. For all you know that's what you're getting lol. You'd be buying a full wrap handlebar. I mean I could bent a piece of metal around and call it that lol

Remember the old ten speed bike handle bars, they may sale those for brush cutter replacement bull handles.
