My son just bought a Farm Saw in very good condition for $25! New fuel line and filter and he has it running smooth. He did have an issue with the pull start/recoil, which he fixed. I did a search for him on this forum and it seams the Farm Saw starter mechanizm is problematic. I also read that the Farm Saw is the homeowner version of the P-41, which I've never seen here. If so, can the more reliable starter housing and internals be swapped from a P-41 to the Farm Saw w/o much modification? I would have thought that this swap would have been mentioned if it was doable.
Also, he'd like a felling spike for this saw. Anyone have one they'd part with, or at the least , a part number so I can talk inteligently to someone who may have one? PM me if you have a spike.
