GTG around north carolina 4-18-09

Seriously thinking about that muffler mod. I have a new reason to hang on to all these saws. Was thinking about selling a few of them. This is turning into a cool sport!

Wonder if JT can port a 361? He'd prob'ly sabotage it for sure.

Yeah, I got to have a talk with him about that Stihl riding in the trailer.

Modded saws are addictive, as you can see. I haven't modded a saw that responds better to a muffler mod than the 361, mine sure was impressive afterwards.

aka Zachary, Dad wasnt lyin im only 19. Just wanted to say I had a great time meetin yall and runnin your saws. Enjoyed the chance to see some other saws in action. Some of my friends question my obsession with chainsaws but I told them they have never seen or run a saw till they run a ported saw, I was very impressed, especially with JTs 359 because of the difference in his and dads saws. Yall have a great bunch of saws.
Lookin forward to gettin Oscar tuned up and get a chain break on it.
Well thanks to yall for a good time and lookin forward to the next GTG.

Do any of yall know if the 350 Husky can be ported? Lookin to upgrade its power

Congrats on your first post, Little Possum!

Pretty much any saw can be ported you just gain more power on some than others.

like i said this one is froze up but does seem to have a good brake still on it i was wondering if the brakes interchange

since im not a husky expert i have not a clue if they would interchange

a fine running vintage saw was JT78's Stihl 041 Farmboss. this thing really hauled the mail.

i did not have the pleasure of running it but it was said to really rumble.

next is a saw most know little about. a very underrated saw the Redmax G5000. its a firey vintage saw that runs at high RPM. i call this one lil' Devil. the chain was rather dull and i neglected to bring files. i should have asked JT78 to hook me up. i wanted to pick one up from Tony but the place was busier that the mustang ranch on friday night.


the saw was not running at its best but it managed to make a respectable showing for a stock saw. this is what i ended up with on my ebay quest for a $100 pro saw that many said couldnt be done. it was running .325 chain.

after last years GTG lots had a bad taste in their mouth so they are boycotting.

 

[JT78]
