    I have to travel to Muncie, IN this weekend for a 2 day volleyball tournament with my daughter. When I get back my wife leaves for Florida so I will be tied up 3 nights with volleyball practice. The bottom line is I will have little time for saws so may have to cut back on what I bring. I am open to bringing some saws to sell if anyone would be interested.

    Keeping the 66SV and only own one Mall saw (which I bought at auction in 1978 for $5.00).

    3400 is the closest I think I have unless I kept one of my red Craftsman 3.7's here.

    Just to clarify, there are only certain saws I will be selling. Examples are a Stihl 026, 029, 290, Shindiawa 377, Echo 550, etc. Mostly duplicates or smaller saws, I also have a Stihl FS 55R straight shaft trimmer.

    I figured it was worth a shot. The mall was the first gas powered saw that my family used logging not sure of the model though someday I'll find one to play with.

    If you can bring any extra? Someone may buy one? You never know who wants a Farm Boss :)

    I have more saws than I need as a wood cutter. I use Pellets as my Primary heat. But still burn 3-4 cord every Winter in the basement.

    I no longer cut or burn wood, but that doesn't stop me from having 350 saws. I may bring a NOS clearing bow to sell, these will work on most saws without modification to the clutch cover.

    The slot is just over 12 mm.

    That should work? Pretty close.

    Bring it and we can "test fit" it there?

    Gary, you wouldn't happen to have a bar (even if it's just to borrow for Sat. :) ) for a Homelite 1050 kicking around would you? I still don't have one for mine and really would like to run it at the G2G.

    I think I can come up with something though if you are running .404 we may need to make up a loop.

    I think I am going to cut back to 8-10 big saws and bring a bunch of stuff to sell/trade. I will have saws, bars and chains.

    I know someone who wants to buy a bow that will fit a husky. I think its a 460 rancher I guess... not really the power for a vow in my opinion but talking to the guy is kind of hard...he knows it all???

    Got anything that will fit the 372 size husky?

    Bow is what he looking for

    I'd like to run .404, I can make the loop, just need the DL count and gauge. If you have something 30"-36" (maybe longer....) with a roller or sprocket nose I might take it home with me if you can part with it. :cool:

    I think the longest Homelite bar I have is 30" and it is hardnose and on my 540.

    I have several NOS clearing bows, some are 12 mm as shown above and I think the others are 8 mm. They are complete with guards and feet.

    30" hard nose should work fine to run her on Sat, if it's not too much trouble for you to bring it. Let me know what the DL count is? I'm heading up to my dealer on Mon so I will be able to cut a loop then. You can have the loop for your trouble if you want .404 .063 RS.
