Chainsaw Pics...

Had today off to take care of some business around here. Had a little time this afternoon to piece it back together.

She’s still a little grimy and missing a hold down clip. But still really nice.
I went back with a new base gasket and fuel filter.
Took about 8 pulls to pop and started right up and idled on the next pull.
I don’t have much in the yard to cut so made a few in a round. It’s nice.

 

got a new oregon/redmax 28" and lgx skip
for my heavy falling saw 2000 288 lite

 

Czed , do you think that chain brake crowds your hand and makes it easy to trip the brake unintentionally? I do on my 288.

That’s a handsome Lite!

 

Jonsered 2152 for the small stuff.
Husqvarna 371XP for the bigger ones and noodling.

Lovely score!

 

Been saving for a saw to mill with for quite a while now. Called the local Husky dealer earlier this week to see what they were getting for the 395xp. Was thinking if I budgeted Christmas right, I might be able to pick something up toward the Spring and just wanted a real target to shoot for. Guy I spoke to tells me they're doing 20% off all Husqvarna products this Fri, so like the moron I am, I jumped on it. Well, At least the wife doesn't have to figure out what to get me for Christmas...

 

Nice! Love the 395. Now all you nerd to do I'd get yourself a real bar for it.

 

Love the "Lite" logo on the label. It's amusingly ironic on a saw that size.

 

How'd you know I was a nerd?

This guy came with a 28", which is about all the rails on my mill can handle. It'll likely spend the majority of its life on that mill after its broken in. Do you think it's worth doing anything special in the way of a bar for milling, or would it not make much difference?

 

LOL typo.

Not sure what you mean about doing something special to the bar?

OK so just a milling machine 28" still pretty small, but if that fits the size of logs you're cutting than that's all you need.

 

no the flag was pushed back some against the
block of wood when i set it down.
i never accidentally tripped one.

 

Oh, Was just trying to sort out what you meant by "get a real bar for it"
Wasn't sure if there's a shortcoming with the stock bar I should be aware of or suggesting it could take a longer bar or just being a wise-acre about the scabbard.

 

The only thing you should do for milling is turn your oiler up more than you would for normal cutting bar and chain can get pretty hot when milling the extra oil cuts down on bar wear It always seems easier when you play santa for yourself

 

That has to be the best sight every time you walk past or are in the room! Congratulations. You will love this saw.
The oiler on it will have zero problem keeping up with the 28" so I wouldn't worry about doing anything special. I've ran a 50, 42, 37, 24, 20 and 16 on my 394. Milling w/ the 50 I did apply extra oil at the tip and that's the only time it needed it. I just actually acquired 28" bars and I think it will be perfect for mine while scrounging larger CL and FB wood. After getting it ported, it completely laughs at a 24. One thing, if you remove the felling dawgs you will gain a little more width on the mill.

 

Was able to grab this Cream Puff today












I don’t think the cover has ever been off.

One owner, even got the manual for it.

 

Wow, just wow.

 

This one was an unintended gift from the kids.
They slept in Christmas morning so I had time to peruse the trades.

A little over my normal price point for a used saw, but not much.

 

I can understand why. She’s a real looker!

 

That earns you a “you suck” award from me. & I mean that in the nicest most jealous way. Nice find!!

 

I don’t need an intervention, let’s get that ought of the way.

It’s just been a string of really real good deals as of late while I still have money in the jar on my bench.
