    Twins..... (almost) :dex:Stock 125C & 101B version.Shot a short video of the beasts idling last week,camera batteries died shortly after start,I'll get a better one soon. The rubber spark plug boot didn't fit perfectly on the 101B,so I removed it & put it back in parts drawer.It was a pain in the azz anyway....:picard:

    Resting on the shelf for a few months now until they're needed again.I figure they worked so hard in their younger years they deserve a nice long break now.I'm getting close to that stage in life myself now thankfully. :yes:

    HELL NO!!! :rofl: :lol: Took me 20+ yrs to get my collection where I wanted,at least a dozen of them I watched/waited ten years to finally get because they're so scarce,rarely seen & in high demand.


    And then some......:dex:

    Very cool indeed. I'm just getting started with yellow fever lol. I have 3 10 series saws and a 125c that will be here any day now. You have a great collection. Up till now most of my saws have been Pioneer.

    If I had every saw from everybody I know it wouldn't amount to that collection. Impressive! I'm a bit fond of yellow saws also, I learned how to use a chainsaw on dad's old PM605. I used to expend 60 percent of my energy just getting that thing started and lugging it around.
