2172 is a great saw with the best colors to boot. It will put a smile on your face!
In this case more dollars does not mean more value. A Dolmar 421 or an Echo 490 are saws built with a metal chassis like pro style saws, whereas...
That Farm Boss bar is worth it's weight in gold on any Stihl saw around here. Put it on the 290 and sell it. I have a 260 also, with base gasket...
I have both and the Echo is my pick. Starts amazingly easy, even after sitting for a few weeks. Cruise control is really nice, and it is quieter...
Monster Maul and an old car tire to hold the shivering pieces till I get another whack at 'em. My wood is across the lake and I don't feel like...
I've been watching this thread and offering my $.02. I'd spring for a 14" or maybe a 16" bar and a good chain for your 4218. Turn it into a 4216...
Do yourself a favor and don't replace with another Vangard style chain. Those big rakers are a pain to lower so that it cuts decent. Also, check...
I recommended a 555 for my brother in law. I got to pick it up from the dealer and put the first tank through it. It's a great saw all around...
Get the 421 and use it for awhile, and you'll be posting comments the same as we are now! Easy to start and run and is really fast for it's size....
Menards has those cases on sale about 3 times a year for $19.99. Made by the same Co. that made my Husqvarna, and Echo cases. Only difference is...
The dash on those old Binders was pretty elaborate, weren't they?
I got one if I can figure how to load it from my phone. That saw is just nasty!
It was offered and sold as a non - runner and it is STILL a non-runner. So what has changed that he wants you to buy a non-running saw from him?
Heading that way tomorrow!
Was the new plug wet or dry when you pulled it out? That's the only way to tell what's going on inside the motor as far as not getting enough or...
Is the plug wet when you remove it after pulling the starter a few times? Try a new plug and pull it over with no choke and throttle wide open....
Make sure that the tail of the oiler drive spring isn't ground down where it fits to the clutch drum. If the clutch bearing is worn from lack of...
It sounds like the 290 that I had for awhile. It would start easily and then go lean and bog out. If you could get past that point, it would do...
They're a great saw. Just make sure that the air filter is fitted squarely over the carb mouth and that O ring. It can get cocked and let dust...
They make more noise from the intake bellowing than from their exhaust note. I bought an AM muffler for my MS-290 to practice my carving and...
