Think we have a bow bar on a zip hanging in the old shed now. just traded a wright saw to the husky dealer in Lignum Va. for a gallon of husky bar oil. he has a lot of old saws hanging up in the shop.
What was the first chainsaw you ran?

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
The first saw I ran was my grandpas home lite xl (coil failed then it got stolen). My current saws are a modified ryobi/redmax gz400 with a 20 inch bar(my favotite by far), redmax gz4500, craftsman pro/Husqvarna 445, and a chinese 52 cc waiting in a box to get torn apart and played with.
First memory I have of running a chainsaw was dads Mac 1-70 cutting firewood. First 1 I bought was a small Wards ( same as Mac 310 ) at Rosedale mall in the twin cities. Dad got a new Mac 805 and gave me the 1-70. I now have both.

The first saw I ran was my dads Poulan 3400 counter vibe with an 18" bar. I made a lot of money through high school selling firewood, in college I bought myself a Stihl 029 Super when a big storm came through that I again made a lot of money selling firewood. My buddies just couldn't understand why I'd rather work my butt off splitting wood by hand and selling it than working in a retail store where I wouldn't get dirty. Of course I always had a pocket full of cash (they didn't), my gas tank was always full, my truck always ran or I fixed it and I was able to drink Coors instead of Keystone.

First saw I ever ran was a little Homelite with a 12" bar. I was only 10 or so. It was slow but I didn't know it at the time. Been a whole lota saws since.

My first was my Father's Stihl 041AV, and I just dug it out to clean it up yesterday. It's heavy, but always ran like a champ.

Homelite XL 12". First saw as a kid. 12 years old lol. Cut five cords a year for the homestead for three years until I froze the wrist pin. Good memories...

My first saw was a stihl 034 when I was like 7 then a 361 then my first ever that was actually mine was the little echo cs305. Still have it and great running saw. But my favorite saw would be a toss up between a 395 or the current saw I have now a 372 from mmws. Running a 28 on the 372 and that little guy don't feel it. Pine or oak or sugar maple.

That's the animal! Not a firewood saw, but it was free and not running. One of my early fixes as kid too. I was proud to run the unit.
not a lot o power, but nice weight/balance one handed. 14" on mine, 12'd be even moreso.
