Do you still have the 1st chainsaw that you ran?

[Chris J.]

I do. I was going through some of the tools that I inherited from my father, and found his old cahinsaw. I haven't yet found the missing parts, might not have all of them, but I know that I have a couple of them.

 

[jockeydeuce]

Yep! That's cool!

The first saw I ever ran was a Power Mac 6 and my Dad still has it as well. It's on my list to get going again for sure!!:msp_thumbsup:

Nice

I was working on a 110 off and on today and got it running and the manual oiler works but after about 1/4 tank it quit on me. Tomorrow is another day.

The 110 is made a lot like your saw.

If you want to make a project out of that for nostalgia sake, I'll donate whatever I can help with to the cause, including some NOS stuff.

 

[Chud]

Does the chain cut in reverse?

That's a generous offer :msp_thumbup:, thanks, I might take you up on it.

Does the chain cut in reverse?

Yes. That's a very rare Mini Mac 25 that runs in reverse to keep the chips off the saw :msp_ohmy:. They didn't sell very well, which is what makes them very rare :msp_tongue:.

 

[dswensen]

Nope

Wish I had it still. Dad had a Mac 10-10. He still had in when he died in 1998. Mom gave it to the neighbor. (Really Mom?)

Usually takes about 10 posts until things start getting...

Anyway...Chris...congrats on finding the old saw you first started cutting with!!!!
I doubt that this happens very often....What a surprise find...for sure!!!!
I know you will get it running again !!!!

First one I ever run for a few minutes was top handle Poulan. The first saw I ever bought was a used 028WB and I still have it but it's not running.

 

[Illini_tree]

First saw I ever ran was grandpas stihl 020av top handle. Old logo, no chain break. I was 12. I got it after he passed it is in my shop on my saw rack now and starts first pull every time. I still use it as my backup climbing saw. and to think running a saw at 12, and a top handle to boot. Don't flame grandpa to bad.

 

[RenaisSAWnceMan]

Well.....when I was about four, or so.....Dad pulled out this big 'ole two-man thing, with about a 7' bar, an' said: "Son, no cryin' now....a guy starts out big, or he
don't start out at all. Now, see if you can handle this thing yourself. If not, I suppose I can help you out, but only this once....."

Since then, they've just never seemed big enough..... Heck, I've got this Orline Mustang, that I use as a KEYCHAIN fob, for the 090AV keys....


Darn it, Dad....you're gone now, and I'm left just wantin'.....no, needin', MORE. Guess I can only look for another 090, so I can go one-in-each-hand, and see if
THAT might, somehow, work....

 

[promac850]

Yep, the PM610 'cinder block' 60cc of raw torque (notice I said torque... I've buried this 20" bar in green poplar and it still begged to be leaned on.) Not the fastest cutting, but definitely has a nice exhaust note, and definitely has tons of torque for its size.

Still runs and cuts good.

 

[pioneerguy600]

I have all the chainsaws we ever owned, the first one I ever ran/used, my dads first new saw and all the saws he and I owned since. They all run just fine.

 

[floydie]

First saw I ever ran was my dads Stihl 032av, he bought it in Maine in the late 80's and now I have it. Runs like a champ and is in mint condition

 

[Arrowhead]

The first saw I ever ran was my Uncles 020 AVP. The first saw I ever bought was a 38cc plastic box store Mac Cat. Believe it or not, it had an 18" bar. lol
I used it for years, cut many 30" oak trees with it to heat the house. Yes, it took awhile, but it was all I could afford at the time and I made due. It now wears a 12" bar. In fact I used it today cutting some limbs from storms yesterday. It still runs fantastic. The only thing I ever had to do to it was fix a broke av spring. :msp_thumbup:

 

[alderman]

Here's my first.

I still have it.

 

[SPDRMNKY]

nope...eventually the recoil spring broke so the cord stayed out...and after mom saw me swinging it around like a mace it went in the trash

hey look...someone's still got one...cool!

:jester:

seriously...dad still cuts firewood with the 011, so...someday

 

[homelitejim]

my first gas chainsaw is the 032 in front and my second is the Homelite Super EZ Auto. I gave away or sold my first saw which was a electric mcculloch.
