I think about it like this. I cut a cookie off this log with my 2252... It took about 30 seconds. Here's how long it took with my Mastermind...
I just got my 2252 (545) today. I think it's okay, but for anything over about 14" I would not recommend it. I think I'll use mine only for wood...
I will try to remember tomorrow. I think it's just a plate bolted to the rack.
Just picked up this one... 1986 Honda. It runs, and it's in decent shape. So far I've got about $0 invested in it. :D [ATTACH]
Some videos I took today. I used the same exact chain on both saws... [MEDIA] For reference... [MEDIA]
I too was underwhelmed by my ported MS261... So I traded it towards a ported 562xp. I also have a 2252 that just showed up today to replace the...
I know what you mean. I had an 029 Super for about ten years... Then about a year ago I got the itch for a new saw. I found the chainsaw forums,...
Let's see... 50, 60, 70. What's left? Oh yeah! You need a 90cc! I'm thinking a 661 would fill the void left by that 262xp quite nicely! :saw:
Yep. I got the money and it's all boxed up. I'm hoping to get it shipped tomorrow!
This saw is SOLD! (As soon as the funds come thru!)
Did someone say 661? Now yer talkin'!!! :saw:
My first 262xp... It went to a good home as well! I have a slightly more used one, and the only place it's going is to Tennessee for port work....
Or send it out for porting. You'll still be under your $400 budget. The nice thing is they will inspect the saw and replace the worn out parts...
Pull the muffler and inspect the piston and cylinder. If they look okay, you might be able to just replace the rings. If the saw runs okay, I...
I don't use the decomp on my 7900, even after a new piston ring and a Mastermind port job...
They are great saws. I have a 7900 and it's my favorite firewood getter.
Pic of wrap handle please.
Yes I did! I've been using it, too. Thanks again!
Stihl 044. 12mm case, angled fin cylinder with brand new Meteor piston. I pieced this saw together from parts. 1/2 wrap, dual port muffler cover....
I live between Redding and Eureka. Redding is about 180 miles north of Sacramento.
