What kind of person would buy a saw and not send it out for port work. That's just crazy. :p
No idea on the 8500/5200. My Mastermind 7900 feels stronger to me than my Mastermind 064, but without the annoying vibes. It won't oil a 32" bar,...
Mine was not a CM. I have too many saws, and I have a used 2252 on the way and a 2152/2153 project I will be working on soon, so the 261 had to go!
7900?
I just traded my ported MS261 (+ $$) for a ported 562xp. :D
I would say the 359 is worth $2-300. I'd pull the muffler and inspect first. Not sure on the other two.
Used 044/440/460/461, Husky 372, or Dolmar 7900 (my personal favorite). I wouldn't waste my money on a new saw.
Really nice saw, runs strong. Ported by Moody. The Strato is still intact. Not sure on compression right now, but I will check and post back...
I have a really nice ported 2172 (same as 372 x-torq) that I'll take $700 for. I have it listed in the classified section... just sayin'. If you...

I sold my 655 a few months back, and it took quite a while to get it sold.
I used a ramp and a strong buddy! Gravity holds it in the truck. Also, the lumber rack helps. :D
My wife went to Humboldt to study Forestry.
Got another load of Fir today! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There's still one more load to get. These rounds are 40" diameter... [ATTACH]
I'm going to swap the coil on my 262 right now, then I'm headed to the woods for some R&R. :thumbs:
I have an iPhone. It works fine. Nice saw BTW... I was just teasin' about the brake. My 262 has an appointment with Randy Evans soon!
No problems here.
If he's doing a batch of 262's I should send him mine. I don't wanna wait 'til June!
You're not s'posed to run it with the brake on. :whistle: I just use degreaser I get at Ace Hardware. Mix with water and let it soak. Wipe,...
