Thanks guys! The 290 weighs in at 13 lbs so it can be a little heavy for a smaller user, at that price I doubt I could go wrong!:greenchainsaw:

Are all the Deere saws made by Efco? and would the CS40 make a good back up/beginner saw? My MS290 is just a little heavy for my oldest daughter to run comfortably.

I'm patiently waiting as well!!The longer it takes the longer I can take to order my grinder!:cheers:

I could use a set as well! Add me to the list if possible!

I leave mine on all the time,mine came with a rubber holder attached to it for the allen wrench,so far it's still there and hasn't disappeared.

Anyone know if it will be repeated this week? I had to miss it but for a very good reason!

If electrolux is trying to take over you better believe this Stihl guy is going to get hostile!!:chainsaw:

man you sure know how to scare the crap out of a guy!!!:jawdrop:

I fall into the occasional user category and use an MS290 and am well pleased with its performance and would expect you to be just as happy with the MS310.I've got both a 20" bar and an 18" narrow kerf bar,it will pull the 20" without much trouble but it really likes the narrow kerf setup! I'm...

never seen one fly but I have seen more than one clear a 3foot rail!!!:ices_rofl: gatkeper1's response was pretty much how I handled things as some people just can't be convinced that they just don't get it!!:bang:

just caught that one too!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I recently had someone try to convince me that Stihl no longer produces any of their own engines and have contracted with Redmax to be their engine supplier.The reason given was to comply with EPA standards.The only mention of this I can find on google is for some trimmer engines on units that...

Look behind almost any business that gets in large deliveries of anything.If your area is like mine they are more than happy to give them away just for asking.They have to pay an extra disposal fee to have them hauled off and they are usually very happy to have someone who wants to take them off...

I "lost" most all of my "friends" when I quit loaning tools.I'd always been the if you need me I'm there guy.I've had tools returned completely destroyed or otherwise disfigured and when it came down to replacement the damage was either blown off or ignored! The worst insult is having to go repo...

I've got an old Craftsman and with a good sharp chain it will hold its own.You just have to remember they aren't really designed for big stuff just mainly limbing and small clean up work.

20 seconds a cut!!! dull chain indeed!!! hey at that rate my old electric craftsman would give him a run for his money!!!:laugh: :laugh:

I'd add an LSS behind the 044,making it the 044 Lakeside Special!! ;)

The repair manual and parts book were my first purchases for this saw.I learned a long time ago it's cheaper and less headache to buy the manuals before starting any project such as this.I'll take the advice on further teardown before ordering the P&C.

what model number are you going to bestow upon it?

Thanks again! At that price this project just might get moving faster than I originally planned on!When replacing the top end is there anything else I might want to inspect or change out while I've got it apart?
