Ok, I want to buy a 5100. But with the economy the way it is I don't really have the cash. Secondly my pops doesn't think I need another saw till the WildThang tosses it's cookies anyhow ( although ironically he owns 2 saws ).
But he has given me permission to use his old 028. It fired up nice tonight but was very loud. After a moment or two I put 2 and 2 together, loud and brown around the vented cover of the pull string. My guess the muffler has mod'd itself over the years.
So where can one find replacement parts thats friendly to deal with, and with reasonable prices?
Next question 028 Woodboss ( the saw dad has ) is that a 028 or an 028 Super? or does it really matter? are there any differences. I also have seen post regaurding 028 AV and AV2 ?? Which is compatible part wise with what?
I'm going out tomorrow to give the 028 a work out. Oh another interesting thing, somewhere on here there is a post about older chainsaw specs. Both links say the 028 weighs 11.7 lbs or close to that but the book that came with pop's saw says almost 14 lbs.
Thanks in advance
