    Aw yeah. Both of them run. Added some TruFuel to them and away we go.

    Woooo hoooo!

    Perfect timing. Was just thinking about leaf blowers!

    And it's a 20" bar not 18". 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge. Perfect as it uses the same chain as my 034 Super. 33RS72.

    Well, that is awesome but I find it crazy for you to think we would be satisfied not knowing how you scored these two for free!

    The chainsaw fairy godmother visited me yesterday lmfao!

    It's the same guy who gave me the John Deere X300 ride on mower as well as the Poulan Pro single stage snowblower - he's getting rid of all his gas stuff and going electric. Got himself the Ego ride on mower, electric leaf blowers.......

    He actually offered me his Honda hydrostatic track wheeled walk behind snowblower and his wife immediately chimed in and said "Uh...honey...I thought we were going to sell that one...." so I don't know if I'm getting that one yet.....but fingers crossed!

    I cleaned up the 455 yesterday. I don't think it was ever cleaned. Put the chain aside and slapped a new Stihl RS chain on there. Used the parts washer and gave it a quick bath. Greased the needle bearing. Spur sprocket looks fine. This thing was used but not much it seems. And here it is hanging with a 500i!

    Does that mean you're interested in purchasing it? Brand new STIHL chain on there. :D

    My first saw was a 455 with 20" 3/8" bar. Not a bad saw but spoiled with my current saws.
