    wildwest I've put saw gas in many cars many times with no problems at all. Shoot, I recall one time a friend and I were traveling together and we ran out of gas about 5 miles before a gas station. No problem. We had some saw gas in the trunk. Just dumped it in and went on our merry way.

    We sold a slew of pro saws to a local tree service today.
    Ms661 x2
    Ms461 x1
    Ms 362 x2
    Ms201t x6 (only 3 pictured....other three already on the job)

    5 figure saw bill pre discount if you count the couple additional long bars not pictured. :bug:
    I spent a couple hours just unboxing, assembling, fueling , and prepping for delivery. I learned those 661's seem to oil much better than my old 066. My coworkers looked at me funny when I said I'm taking pics of this :rofl: :lol:

    They are notorious for poor service!

    Soooooo. The plot thickens. That big saw sale above was due to theft. Moderating with permission id like to post a link for a $5000 reward for info leading to an arrest.

    I don’t see a problem with that. Nobody likes to see hard working folks get ripped off.

    Methinks with the small description they have on this ahole they should be able to nab him. He is probably somewhat local. Surely hope they catch him.

    That's my experience with them as well.

    I found a Stihl dealer in Hudson. Little hole in the wall with crap everywhere. I brought him a few jacked up chains to be sharpened. Seemed like a nice honest guy from my conversation with him. I would consider giving him a shot if I buy a new saw.

    I sell and service zero turns for a living but I just cut my campsite grass with a 65 year old 8n tractor and a push mower.

    Kinda weird. Happy 3 day race and memorial weekend everyone.

    Did you ever get a reply from anyone about your request? I would say "for now" put it in bold caps in the classified. I really don't think anyone here has any objections. This is a livelihood situation! :yes:
