Yup Grey it's the little one. I cut a lot of hedge so I'll use it for limbing along with my MS180. I got less than 10 bucks in it so I'm pretty happy with it.

Tomorrow is my last day to untill the 5th.
I have a 076 do play with, a freebee.
A Honda XL250 to finish.
Weedwacker and others.
Today I picked up a Homelite 650 Super.
It runs with gas in its throat but not on it's own.

So, how much did you pay for that Lightning? Hhhhhmmmm....:biggrinbounce2:
I telephoned my SIL to ask her how it looked: "it's really NICE, and CLEAN and BIG. It's HEAVY too! But it's a nice saw". It must be spotless because she has it in the entry-way and her house is spotless. She is the definition of neat-freak.
Dude, you are so lucky!

He likes em EH!!
It's serial number is 101 to boot!!!
It's seems to be in good condition, I haven't done anything but drag it home!!!
LOL. You're kidding me, right? He was asking $150 but wouldn't ship it. I then offered him $200 and he started talking. The price stayed at $200 even after you agreed to help me out. I wasn't about to haggle with him at that price. I can't wait to see what the bore size is. I couldn't get THAT lucky... or could I
. We need pics already!!! Thanks again for your help. Now I'll be beaten at the next GTG I go to for theft

Nope, I am serious, she was looking at it while talking to me. She told me she's "going to find a nice box to put it in, then make a nice home for it in the shed until you can come in". So there you go; you fell into this one big-time.

Dang, I'm working 24/7 through New Years! No complaints here, though, I'm happy to have a job. I'm still gonna do a project or two in my down time, though. I've an 026 to build and an 036 Pro.
Good thread!

Did you twist her arm into taking any pics? All I've seen is a horrible cell phone looking shots.

I'll ask my niece, she's alot better with the computer.
I have a date with a bunch of semi fallen trees, a 12 tonne digger with grapple and my 262xp. My inlaws had a bunch of trees go in a storm a few months back and they need someone who knows what they are doing.
I feel some domino action in my near future.

I'm taking Christmas week off, from 6am the 20th thru to the 31st at 6pm. I need to get my shop set up, I have two Mac geardrives, one Lancaster 5.8 and one Homelite beltdrive to whip into shape. Weather looks like it will be crappy, so no excuses this time. Unless I make a quick trip south with JJ.

I'll be a-workin' Mon, Tues, Fri. next week, Mon, Tues. week after. Sorry, all of my projects now are woodworking...cedar boxes for grandkids, spice racks, coffee table for the youngest daughter...hopefully get finished by Christmas Eve. Weekend after N. Yr's is woodcutting.
I am off untill Jan. 5!!! The 2nd half of duck seasons opens the day after Christmas, so I'll be doing a lot of that
Plus, I have 2 tandam axle dumptruck loads of logs to start cutting and splitting with my FIL. CSW

Well, there goes my schedule. Already tried on the chaps - that was supposed to be my big job...
Started pulling the muffler cover off the Mighty Farm Boss for a muff mod, and backed away. Why tweak a saw to match performance with another already ready to work? Why have a heavy, loud, slow machine... wait a minute, I may as well direct my efforts to one of the Remoington Super 754s to fill that niche! Does anyone know where I can find a new fuel line for a 754? It looks to be a very short 5/16" with a tight 90* bend. Normal fuel line kinks in the tight quarters, and I don't want to line it with steel brake line... I need a molded rubber line...

Just got a call from a good customer "hey my father in law is getting rid of his 036 and 038,
would you be interested in either?" looks like I might have a project after all.

There's a lot of snow in the forecast, so I'm sure I'll spend a bit of time in a
Highway plow as well. CSW
