It will run a 36in bar but it's the max... it likes a 28in
Ok for the bad: the front bar stud is loose and if you're not careful while changing the bar, it will get pushed back into the oil tank. As you can see on the pictures, the clutch cover has been modified. It is also missing its brake band. But with a new band it should be completely operational. Also, it has a full wrap handle that was welded on at some point in its life.
The 36 inch bar has a new bar tip- I believe it's its third tip and probably last.
If you're planning on using this as a stumping saw I also have another 288 that does not have a full wrap handle with a low top top that would work better for getting up against the ground.
