    2153 was the 346xp NE & the 2152 was the 353. Those have been replaced with the 'new' models 2252 & 2253.
    Jred model numbers hurt my head...

    I see ya don't have a 72 on ur list, but a new 62.... have you ran a 72? I don't need anymore saws, but been doing a lot of climbing lately and looking into a 555 or 562 to drag up a tree with a longer bar on the big take downs

    I had a 372 in the past, actually it was a 365 with a 75cc xpw top end. Nice runner, but sold it. I just don't need a 70cc saw.
    Love the 562, but would likely get a 555 if done over. No need to port the 562, just a mm and it's fine.
    That said, I like my ported 357xp better and I'm fixin to build two 359. Love this series of saw!

    Hard to tell, but there might be a slight resemblance to the 044/stang guy? o_O

    The Fox body was my all time favorite. . The 93-89 (maybe 88) was the best looking/sounding cars out there. That old pushrod 5.0 made me tingle inside :) Hard to replicate that sound..

    I wish I had your contact info. I used to love talking with you. We have been set up here for over a year. One of the last big events I remember talking to you about, was the Super Bowl black out. That was a big headache for you guys.

    You also told me to get a 372.. I bought two and sold them. I have a 385 I will be placing on the block tonight.
