Stihlhere, Are you the long lost polar opposite cousin of Coveredinsap ? Do you run a green abrasive scuff pad aircleaner like Sappy does? :buttkick:

Did someone say chainsaw yet? :sucks:

XL-12 Just sold it a few months ago to a guy who was thrilled to get one again. I am sure I will regret it in a few years...

What????? No hydraulics to raise and lower the filter cover!!!! Man, I would just love to take that saw for a ride in the back of the pick up and purdy it up some!

FStang I am interested. Please let me know what you want for the metal half wrap. Do I need different screws or do the ones on the plastic one swap over and work with the metal one? Thanks.

Hi Pest, I have a grey plastic half wrap on the 345 now and was just wondering, if the metal half wrap from a 346xp would fit the 345. Thanks.

Thanks BB Sorry...no need to send me the photos. Friend went with a new 359 locally. Thanks again for the quick response.

Bravo musch! You got it! It is promising to see a few guys grasp the concept without turning this into another brand vs. brand pissing match, picking out every shortcoming they can dream up on a particular saw.
