You’ll like all orange better than orange and white.

Haha idk about that. The 298 is sweet. I have cut a lot with it. It has a 28" on it. I need a bar for the 281. It looks like they are .058 guage. I need to pick some up. All my Stihl s are 050

Just get a .050 bar and you can interchange chains if the same number of drivers.

They don't come too cheap, but they are worth every penny. View attachment 667247

I've always wanted one of those but was never able to get one.

Nothing says "you suck" like wood screws in a 288xp lid. It's how I got it and have yet to come up with a way to doll it up, other then putting locating pins in the fudged holes and using industrial orange velcro.

If you are the responsible party, you really do SUCK!

We still get them brand new here. I've just sent some to TN and they may be available if you are interested. PM me if you want the contact info.

I have a 372XP that suffered similar carnage.
I re-tapped the damaged hole to 5/16-18 then cut a short piece of 5/16"-18 rod and machined a 5mm-0.80 hole in the center. A little locktite to hold it in place and it 100% functional.

I was going to try something simular, but when I took the massive wood screws out I realized there was no meat on either side.

I think this is a sucky deal

$150 CAD with 28" Techlite bar and chain that haven't been in wood.. It was advertised as needing a new top end, buddy took delivery of it and said it fired up on the first pull but needs a little more fuel, says it looks like it hasn't done a full day's work yet

Then some freebies you may have seen from other threads
Wright.. Seized solid but it will live again!

Remington/Mall Logmaster GL7.. Needs muffler and air filter, and the clutch is sticky, runs though

Don't have pics, but have a McCullough 33 and 47, both are going to need serious work I think but they're complete

wow!

I suck again. Working for a bloke thinning plantation pines,he admired my 076 super and said he had an old saw he would trade for it back in the shed. I said doubtful,but lets have a look. He went home and came back with this
a good running,clean Stihl contra GS. Trade ensued!

AMAZING

I haven’t acquired many saws this year however I paid $20 bucks for a Poulan 5020 that simply needed a new chain. I did a muffler mod and threw on a 16” b+c and it runs like a totally different saw.

My buddy traded a very well used MS170 and 50 bucks for a real nice MS260. Sorry no pic on that.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here guys. My saw addiction had to take a back burner when my son (our first) was born a year ago. When I stumbled across this at a yard sale, I was immediately reminded that my addiction is alive and well. Oh, and the fact that I bought it for $10 helped too... [emoji16]

Now if I can only find the parts I need...

besides the obvious, what you need?

Pulled the muffler and piston looks decent, but wouldn’t mind having a spare. Brake band is broken, and I think all that’s missing otherwise is the starter assembly, coil, and flywheel.

Auction surprise first geared saw, old Remington that was not listed on sale bill. 56" sawmill blade was. Large Stihl saw case wasn't. Less than a C note for it all. If the Remington isn't worth more than$25 it should not be here.

 

[pioneer saws]

Had this given to me a while back from a work colleague, he retired it when it got low on compression,it was stored without filter and spark plug and over time engine locked up.

After many hrs and some small parts, new caber, filter, plug and recoil rope it runs sweet.
