Or a Makita 7901 powerhead only for $1029. Don't know how that compares to importing one.

when i brought my makita 7901 a few years ago, any tool shop with a makita account could get one in for you, from memory cost about $1100 at the time.

Just get a can of plastidip and it can be any colour you want, like the kids painting the mag wheels on their Lancers. Hot pink!

are the Makita 7901 made in china like all the new Makita power tools are now ? or they made in germany like the dolmar ???

German made mate. Only the really small Makitas are made elsewhere. Probably more German content than Stihl.

Mmmm so you sit on the left with the hand brake on your right ... nah that's all wrong mate , do much better handbreakies with the left hand , and give the finger (the bird) better with the right hand out the window

I would last 10 minutes in Oz driving on the wrong side of the road. My mind would boggle... I hear the real catch is making a right hand turn at a stop light. Supposedly many Americans revert in those situations to turning into the right instead of the left lane. Also my truck has a foot brake, so no hand brake. Its also an automatic, so I can flip them off at will... (and I do quite regularly driving around here, left or right, depending on what side of the road they are on).

The other joy of leaving a free rope is that we can send icy cold Coopers Mild Ale up the tree.

Is that a Lemon scented gum?

What's E.fastigata lumber good for fellas, apart from crook?

Sadly most the doinks around my neck of the woods ain't going to see me flipping them off.

Them dunbarses are too busy navigating their smart phone (probably the reason the are getting the bird eh?)


My freak on the right drive would surely be shifting with my left hand.

My older brother lived in Japan for years and said it was no biggie, but he's a lefty anyhow.

Come to think of it, he taught me to shoot pool and play guitar which I do left handed?

According to Costermans.............General construction,veneer, etc.

Saw pics!
Grabbed a chance to get a few pictures of my XD Johny's today along with the dealers repair kit, they are on the round to it list to be restored.

Will, mine are the same as yours, I even have that borer, thanks to my father, we also have a couple more but my brother has them I think. Mine has a chrome handle bar set, the other 2 were same as yours. Aren't those bars a crack up with that strap and thicker out on the end.

these saws saws intrigue me Neil, so close to being a modern saw, just no fuel pump in the carb (but still using the crankcase pulse to pressurise the fuel tank) the throttle is a kracker also, just set and forget

Cool, someone has a brand spankers Dolmar 7910 on ebay, no HD filter on it though.

That one has gone up in price, he started on $1200 a few weeks ago.

They were ahead of their time, fuel injection. I like the fact the plug faces the front. Throttle lock, its the go but you can use it as a throttle without locking it on. I have felled a tree with mine, interesting experience that's for sure.

The bloke I bought the saws off of reckoned his old man would open the throttle and set it up and lay it on a downed log and have smoko while it chewed its way through

That sounds similar to cutting with an 08 s. Not to mention rattling your fillings out

I went through my Tsumura collection and they are all over the place. I thought I had this 4 and 6 rivet thing worked out but alas.
