For some reason the bigger cc power heads always attracted me. I liked the husky 2100’s and ran them for hours when I was younger. But now old age 67yo has set in. I can stand and cut. Not quick enough for felling and running anymore. I was the best times of my life. The forest was my workplace.

I understand on gettin burned out. I havent touched a saw except for actually using one in some time now. I did pick up a couple in the past few weeks. I have a homelite 1050 super mostly apart for a total rebuild. Also have a 076 that needs split for crank bearings/rebuild. Waiting on money for parts.

Pics of last couple saws i got

Well your in the right place for collecting, the 100cc Poulan is manufactured by Dolmar, 6000/S6000. There is actually someone on this forum that has a 6000 he may be willing to part ways with if asked nicely @Boomer87

I may or may not have a 6000 lol, im not sure i want to part with it. I need to at least do my due diligence and get it in running condition before i decide. Of course once its running ill probly not be able to part with it lol

I have a 61 Deere given to me by a friend who is a old retired John Deere mechanic--Runs real good(Remington mighty mite) Not as pretty as yalls though!--David

Lately it seems like after I get a saw done and ready to gas-oil and run I just put then to the side and work on others. 3 ready. I may wait for national run your saw day--get a real saw running high... Been awhile since I cut any wood--been scouting out some here and there around town--back doing real good--ready to cut some more with the jonsered 621--I really am crazy about those saws--David

I've used time-serts in auto engines and never had a problem.

My cylinder and piston came in for my stihl HS60. Check out how tiny it is. The key is for scale. Interestingly both are made in Japan.

19.8cc. I also have a 16cc echo trimmer. My main trimmer is a old 22cc echo. And my mower is a lawn boy. All of my lawn equipment is from the 1980s. And most of it less than $10, only needing minor work.

If you were to save up your money to buy this kind of equipment, would it be called a HEDGE FUND??

I'm after an 890 that looks like it has 9/16'' or 5/8'' full chisel on a long bar, so for the seller hasn't returned my calls.
