Have another diesel on the way...cross-posted in the Jonsered sticky, too.

I believe you are to turn those upside down for starting, then turn them over to cut. That is why the chain appears to be on backwards.

Bingo. That's the only saw I'm aware of that is started upside down.

Sure, will post some pics when it arrives.

As for the 797, me likey! Frankly, I think I prefer the 797 to the 125, but I just ran across the 125 first.

In other Holy Grail news, I've got another minty Jonsered XF on the way; guy i've been buying them from seems to have an endless supply.

 

[rocketnorton]

ime, the 125s are much more common. have passed on couple opportunitys, holdin out for 797. no av, not like its a daily driver, tho.

Yes please...

On the Holy Grail front, AS member NewToStihl has a Comet diesel on the trading post here. That saw passed through my house on the way to the States. It's a very nice piece, and complete with crate and tools.

As for my Holy Grail hunt, I have yet another Jonsered XF on the way from Sweden. Also have a seldom seen Jonsered 110 on the way from the motherland, too. The 110 is very similar to the 111, but much rarer. And working on a Jonsered XG and another XB.

Do y'all think the Husqvarna MS90 is a legit Holy Grail saw? I bought one several weeks ago and just ran across two more. My first one is serial number 1575 and the one that's on the way is 605. Next one is a part saw with no recoil or serial number.

Here's the first - 1575.


And #2 - serial number 605.

Poulan 100 and or 100E bladesaws. Far as I know the 100E is still a ghost saw at this point.
Partner P15 and X21
Any Poulan 2 man saws
Poulan 252A.

An Allis Chalmers model 65 has been on my want list for years.

 

[Acornhill]

Sad none of my saws are even on this list, maybe that is a good thing.

Get a chain, pour in some fuel and bar oil, and get cutting man.

There was an advertisement on the wall at Ace Saws in Braeside, (Mordialloc) Melbourne for the Titan Blue Streak proclaiming "Down in 3 minutes!"

Let's see about that.

I'm thinking that slogan was more likely used to advertise Danarm chainsaws Mark. It was the cover slogan for Australian Danarm historian Peter Knights book. I will chase up a photo of the original advertisement as I only have a photo of the book on my phone
