Hey guys, haven't post a thread in quite sometime so here goes. Picked this 261 up off of CL last month and have been slowly working on this project and thread. Just like a lot of projects once I started diving into this unfortunately the more I found that needed to be repaired or replaced. The saw was caked in dust due to the previous owner not preforming basic maintenance: the chain was dull, the bar was BADLY worn, drive links were damaged, trashed drive rim, dirty air filter, crud stuck between the cylinder fins, out of tune, the list goes on.
Here are the before pics.
