    No clue. I don't think any ace hardware stores in our area rent equipment.

    I don't think so, some dealers put stickers on the saws they sell. The dealer put a sticker on my polesaw when I bought it.

    Yeah....I took a trip to their website. I am doubtful now that it was a rental.

    I took the clutches off both to grease the bearings IMG_20240124_132828.jpg IMG_20240124_124635.jpg
    Both clutches had some kind of loctite on them
    It was very difficult to get them loose IMG_20240124_144305.jpg
    Both saws started and tuned easily
    The g288 has a far too short pull rope I'll swap it out.

    I've just about finished up another 044 red lever, swapped out a 12mm crank and piston into the 10mm case, slant fin KS cylinder, trying out a Duke's pop-up piston in it and see what happens. Took the squish down to .019, still gotta build the muffler and make a set of spikes for it.

    I messaged him telling him I was interested. It’s not in the best shape but for 325 shipped that’s about inline. It also takes the same bar mount as the ms251 and I have a ton of chains already.

    Thanks! I’m not on OPE much and don’t really know many names so that helps.

    .325 is what I run. 68 dl on an 18” bar on the 241 from what I can find on the inter web. It’s an oddball most other .325 are 72 dl. Both the 251 and 241 have the one bar nut and the round air filter.

    Stock 241 runs 3/8 Picco chain on a 3005 mount bar. You will need to run and ms250 .325 drum on the 241 to use your bars and chains from the 251. The 251 drum might fit as well but I'm not sure.

    I will rob the drum and rim off the 251 and switch the 251 back to the spur. I looked at the order for the drum and rim I ordered for the 251 and it also says it’ll fit the 241.
