    Seems like that shoulder has done a good job of recovering also now that you are back to playing with big toys

    Yeah its doing much better. I was pretty worried for awhile but the last week or so it got better.

    Its never going to be completly right but I'm happy for now.

    This one is going to be fun, the 245 is a good match for a bow.

    You might not be let down.

    Very nice Mark. I'm not a Poulan man but that one makes me jealous. Wish my 245 had a bow bar set up like that.

    Nice work Mark. I really like the front handle bracing. Did you have to drill and tap a hole for that? Im trying to think of my 245A and if it has an extra hole there.

    No its already set up for it. Your saw has a welch type plug in it there that you drive out to put the bolt through.

    Very nice saw and bar Mark, I gotta pick one of those 245`s some day soon, looks so much like my 306A`s that one would fit right in with them. I never operated a saw with a bow bar but may also pick up one of them sometime to fit one of my saws, guess they like a slow torquey saw, gots lots of them.

    You have to let me try that out the next time I'm over. I have a clearing attachment for my Homies, but no bow.

    power as do the bucking bows.
