    Hey guys - I bought HoneyFuzz's 61 on 13 May and he sent it the same day - priority mail. Unfortunately, USPS must have lost it - Until yesterday, tracking still said it never left Ohio. I had nearly given up hope. Just for fun, checked tracking last night and it had arrived in Nashua NH - then this morning it was in my town and this afternoon it was delivered! I was so happy to see it arrive - would have been a shame to think of it just tossed away. It was just what was hoping for and then some. Gave it a tune and bucked some oak - she's a great runner. Can't believe it showed up on the very last day possible before I leave for a long trip - AWESOME! Thanks again Fuzz!! Cheers, Jacques Fuzz_61.jpg

    I ordered something recently out of Michigan and it took a vacation in Florida for a week before it headed back to me in Virginia. Thanks USPS.

    Glad you got that saw!

    Awesome that it showed up when it did.

    USPS tracking sucks and it seems to be getting worse.

    Glad it all worked out. Nice saw!

    Those 61's are good saws, dont get talked about much either. One of my first saws was a 61 I bought from the west coast, never missed a beat either.

    I love the look of those old metal brake handle 61 s, one of the toughest saws ever built

    Yes they are - I think my other blacktop is a 1986 and it never fails to start or run well - idle likes to wander a bit, but they are great solid saws and will cut a whole lot of wood! Cheers!
