the case is not melted to badly, it has not damaged the chainbrake mount at all, the damage is very minimal

come on now....who needs an excuse to buy a new saw?

Thank you for the great suggestions, I plan to get the saw running again. I have only had one person look at he saw so far. I have one other person that will look at it and see what they think I should do.

I would assume that anything is possible, just not sure that I want to put more money into the saw. I am looking for a 350 parts saw that I would be able to pull the cylinder and replace mine. If I can find one cheap enough it would be nice to have the 350 and 290

the problem with the 350 is the mount holes for the muffler are stripped clean and the service guy said he could drill the holes out and put in a helicoil but he could not promise it would hold very well.

well it appears that the overwhelming vote is for the Stihl 290 so I guess the winner has been decided and a new saw will be purchased on the way home tonight.

My Husky 350 took a dump on me and I need to replace it. The question here is should I get the Stihl 290 Farm Boss or the Husqvarna 455 Rancher? I cut a grapple load of firewood a year plus cut trees for the in-laws use.

I probably get what you get in a year. I clean my chimeny once a year, but it is only four years old and the stove is 2.

2100 SqFt house 4 years old use about 4 1/2 cord for winter with no other heat source

more fun to look forward too I guess, gotta love winter in NH

I waited for 9 hours at Home Depot to get a generator Sunday (see kids procrastination does not pay) only for them to not show up till Monday morning. WooHoo for me!!

I am still without power in Milford and they are saying it could be a week before it gets turned on. The real kick in the teeth is that folks across the street have power and I don't. At least I have a generator and woodstove to keep us warm and the lights on.

Here is a link to someone that thinks their wood is worth $$$$ http://http://nh.craigslist.org/mat/836881387.html

You are right about the green wood....they are buying it now and thinking it will be dry by winter. They all have clean chimneys now but come mid winter they will be chocked full of creosote.

Around here it seems that a lot of the problem is all of the people who cant afford to buy oil and gas are now turning to wood. They are buying woodstoves and OWB's and they don't know how to run them properly and they burn green wood in them and that is what tweaks the people around them...

I use a Master Lock trailer lock for mine, the ball slides up into the hitch and can't be towed away and it is too damn heavy to carry away.

almost impossible to find log length in New Hampshire, I called everyone in Soutern NH and nothing to be had.

Thanks for the information, I just called him and left a message, I just hope I am not too far away to make it cost effective. I am just shocked that I am having so much trouble finding grapple loads, I thought it would be much easier.

unfortunatly there are no city trees where I am in Milford and any tree company around here is selling cord wood but it seems none are selling grapple loads.
