    OBTW, the wide discharge clutch cover is standard on JReds but it an extra cost option on the Husqvarnas. I like the saw better than my shoes also!

    Mr. Chin great to see you, how are your saws running?

    And Fuzz, its' just a chainsaw, not my off spring, LOL!

    It is in his sig line. I have a NOS 2171 also, was just wondering if he wanted to sell his.

    JChin, the closest saw to the one above will be the member designed saw. For you; I will build you whatever you want.

    Nice saw!!

    I have one on my radar. Worked 62.5 hours this week. Did 12 hours yesterday 7a-7p. Got home after 8pm, went to bed at 10pm, up at 3am, worked 5a-3:30p today, and 6a- 3p tomorrow. . Then straight through next weekend as well :dex:



    Jack, the member saw he is talking about is an XPW as well. :) Great saw, built by a great member! !

    If I win the saw, I will be installing a wrap handle on it.. (speaking of which. My 3/4 just came in yesterday for my 362C-M) :thumbs:

    Picking on me makes me sad :( NOT :)
    I really dont understand if a fella is feeding his family....and has no need to sell his FIRST NEW PURCHASED CHAINSAW....that he gets picked on for not losing money on his original "investment" .:headbang::hair::headbang::hair::headbang::hair:

    Fuzz, no offense intended, my apologies! I still own the original HVA 61 I bought in 86, so that IMO gives me the right to BUST YOUR CHOPS! Sugihara bars are good but they DO need a chain. When taking pictures I never have a sharp chain on the saw been cut too too many times! Saw is done but still waiting for the Stihl square ground chain to arrive via the owner of the saw.
