What's a chainbreak, that's modern

I prefer using a saw with a chain break, personal preference for me. Little extra security.

That is the biggest rub in collecting chainsaws... how to store and display them... mine are currently occupying the floor of my garage... someday soon I'll come up with a clever storage idea for them. Lets see pictures, how do you guys display your saws?

Right now, most are on one shelf with my blower and other accessories. The rest are occupying other shelves where there is currently space. I really want them to be off the cement though, I have one parts saw that sat far to long on the cement, and it does not look good anymore. Right now I feel that it works pretty good, albeit a little bit of an inconvenience when accessing some of the larger ones as the rest have to get moved first.

Mine, what I have, are on a pallet under one work bench, others are on a shelf under another work bench. Got to find another spot to put 3 more Poulans when I get done with them.

I like what buckin' did with his mac's and that large log, but I just don't have the floor space for that kind of setup. Props to him though, it looks absolutely amazing!

That was nice but would take up too much floor space in the barn with a log, two tractors and a bobcat. Hard to have a shelf at the farm, dad will fill it up with something before I get to use them.

I'm thinking about that also.[emoji848] So many options. Too bad no one has made full wraps for some Homelites models. Would stick a full wrap on the 350 and call it a day.

Will a D176 Oregon Mount Work on a McCulloch?

That’s what I was thinking, it’s basically the same mount, one just oils through the tension hole and the other doesnt

Fits a Poulan 3400-4000 and I believe 4200-5200, not sure if it will fit an 8500. Will fit a Mac PM605, I swap mine around alot.

This is a 12X16 shed I built 3 summers ago. Just for saws. About 140 saws are in here.

This is the rear bay in my shop. The home for my 69 Mustang Mach 1 surrounded buy approx. 275 saws.
These are older pic's and the saws have had some rearranging.

How many 166’s do you have?

 

[brandonstc6]

@leeha do you want some free dolmar CA parts? It just 3-4 small pieces, but I didn’t want to see them get recycled.

A few months ago I reached my goal of 30. Had 28 runners.
I have since sold 3.
A few years ago. Maybe 4 or 5 I had 32 running at the same
time in my yard. 23 were mine at the time. If you do a search
on youtube I think you find the video. It was impressive.
