    At some point sure. I’ve got to go through it a little bit first. The muffler is only held on by one nut and is loose, and there’s missing screws in various places.

    I think of that saw often and look for it in your pics. Still cant believe it was right near me too. My tailgate was more "pristine" then too!

    I’m glad you still had a picture of it. I wanted to post it but couldn’t find it.

    Wow that thing is a looker. Pristine considering its age. That was a good find, and well worth shipping it halfway across the country.

    M2theB found it for Sandhillbilly who contacted me. It was literally less than a half mile right around the corner from my wood storage. I think it happened right before you joined FHC.

    Big saws and big wood just seams to suit me better. I have some health issues that makes it hurt to move. Small saws mean I'm bending, tripping, falling more. I can sloth along with a big saw and spend more time making chips and less time looking like a side show.
    If you have seen me cut you know what I'm saying.

    I can see that. Big saws are cumbersome but have their advantages. It’s a different approach. Slow, calculated movements rather than zipping through a bunch of cuts. When I started running my 288 this summer I found out quickly that I had to run it differently from any of my mid sized saws.
