I'm admittedly awful at documenting my scrounging, once I start cutting I forget to take pics. Figured I'd share this one, small trailer loaded with fresh cedar rounds, will be campfire wood in 9 months! 2 saws today, a 291 and an 009. About an hours worth of work at one of the long term project properties on my list.
Nice haul there. How do you like your 009? We could always have Eric VW pay you a visit to help with documentation!
Love the 009. Guy at work brought it in as a bucket of parts. I resurrected it and he offered it to me for a small donation, which I gladly paid. It's light, cuts well, very fun to use. It lives in my truck 24/7, just in case.
I bought a beater one for $50 that runs but needs TLC and i'm not a chain saw mechanic so it sits. I've read of them having an 012 top end put in making it a 45cc saw. Is yours the 009L? With a shorter bar seems like an ideal truck saw.
Not so sure a trip to Wisconsin is in my future any time soon… the FHC helicopter seems to be booked every time I check.
$50 is what I paid the guy after I had it all fixed up, that's a good price. Totally worth putting a little effort into the saw, they're great machines. Mine is an 009L. I run a 16 bar on it just for versatility bc it lives in the truck, but a 14 would be great for climbing and such. Has great balance and controls.
