    Used HD rental. Bar and chain are nothing to talk about but I have an Oregon Pro Lite that will fit right in there. Came with extra new bumper chain, quart of Bar oil, manual.
    It has good compression starts and runs great, have not had the muffler off, don't have a T27 long enough
    Oh yeah :thumbs::saw::banana::dex:

    All I have to do now is figure out how to gut that cat out of there.
    I have a lot of different torx bits but no long ones that will fit down in there , I couldn't find any long torx bits locally, ordered a set off Amazon yesterday, be here tomorrow

    Propane or Mapp gas torch along the seam and you should be able to pry it open. You only really have to do the bottom 1/2 to 2/3rds.

    And maybe by then, it will finally make it through that log! :rofl: :lol: I hear there's a GTG out that way next year, so I'll bring one of my Stihls to help out there. :germany: :p :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Just kidding - nice score HDRock ! These Dolmars seem mighty popular lately - might have to try one at the next GTG!

    Stihl scrench works too.

    I got my dolkita last year and I really like it. It's gonna get the 79cc conversion soon since I've got an 036 already.

    How much did that set you back?

    I've been thinking of picking an ex rental 6421 up, theb MM'ing it, until I drop in a big bore kit.

    They list them here at $322 got it for $300, looked at three of them they were all in good shape, I just picked the one that looked like it had less use, started up and ran good.
    Go to the Home Depot website see if there's any around your area, I think right now is the time of year they sell them
