    A highly portable air compressor, so you can run a nail gun. In the woods. Yeah, that's it.

    It looks like a Tru-Flate or Parker 3/8" male air coupler, Milton type P. It's a common type.

    I'd say it uses air/venturi to vacuum the saw dust out for milling

    If that's true it's a good thing they used a 261. If that was a 550xp there's NO WAY to limit that thing to just 88 mph!!!

    It's a question extractor, and seems to be woking pretty good;). That's my standard answer at work when random people come up to me and ask what I am making or working on. I tell them using my most serious voice a question extractor, they always say a what? And I answer back it works pretty good huh

    it really is a drive head for a wet core concrete bit...............:headbang:
    the bit goes in the collar, the water hose goes on the nipple and feeds water into the center of the bit to keep it lubricated and dust down.
    really I am not kidding really :(

    image.jpeg Funny you picture one of these.... The ms362 I recently rebuilt was used as a drill to drill holes in telephone poles..... Well these guys would take a new saw right up to the pole, and at full speed jam the drill bit into the wood... Well of course the clutch would instantly break... Well these guys would consider the saw junk.... Well that's how I got my basically brand new ms362.... Of course I had to buy clutch cover, bumper spikes, spricket assembly, and I just been using my 20" bar from my 461 for now....I bought the saw for $40.... Best 40 I ever spent!!!

    Shhhhhh..... Don't let these work crews know that..... I have been hoping to buy 1 or 10 more saws like this 362 I got for $40.... Hell I would buy saws like this 362 I got in the same condition till I ran out of money......you got to remember some of these crew/tree crews. Don't own any equipment, so if something breaks they do not care if they just throw it in the dumpster.... People that have never had to buy their own equipment have no meaning of taking care of tools!!!!
