    Lady that I've cut numerous trees for is downsizing/moving. I helped her square away a few larger items etc. No big deal, happy to help a neighbor. She asked me if I wanted her dad's chainsaw, hadn't been run in years. I hesitated a bit because it seemed like a sentimental item, but she said she knew I'd take care of it. Case said 015 AV, I popped the top open looked quickly & thanked her for the generous offer. Put it in the truck & left. Surprise, surprise when I opened up the case & pulled the saw out! Fuel oil & tuned, runs perfect. The sawdust on it was from me testing it, it was spotless in the case.

    Cool saw!

    Good on you helping, while not expecting a reward. Good on her rewarding you anyway.

    That is super great Adam! Good on you for helping and what a gift for doing so. I'm sure she knew it would both be appreciated and used in addition to you taking good care of it. Have fun!

    That’s a gem, congrats! Now you just need one more for your other hand! :saw::saw: :D

    I don’t do any climbing, but I still like to use mine sometimes when limbing out a tree cause it’s so light. Especially like a pine or spruce - they can really wear you out with all the branches.

    That saw is in incredible condition:yes:
    Kinda neat to see the old school engineering of scaling down the big saws to a small package.
