Aaron, you covered some good ole models. Hell some thought my 2101 was a dinosaur, we have all seen the resurrection of Huskies finest! :cool2:
Very simple. What if you can't lift the saw? Some of those puppies weighed in at 30 lb or more. Oh, I suppose you could watch your grandson struggle to try to lift one of them.
Look, guys, most of these old beasts were dinosaurs. One man felling a tree with one of them was darn near impossible. Nowadays, one man by himself can drop five big trees a day with a Stihl MS 660 or equivalent with a 36" bar.
Can you imagine what this thread would look like if AS was around in the 60's or 70's? You'd get the old timers that were around steam donkeys, drag saws and misery whips, talking, and throw in the guys who logged in the 40's-50's with the 2 man 99A's, Mall's and the like. Wouldn't that be fun
Can you provide us with the list of "C series on steroids" saws?
OP, don't try to find the perfect big saw. Find ANY big saw. Try it and see if you like it. .
To the OP, I would have as big a saw as I could find for the least amount of $$.
Of the old saws I have owned and run, the one that stands out the most as a "not-obsolete-yet" model is the Partner P100. Weight is acceptable, power adequate, safety features more than necessary. It's all bottom end, no crazy chain speed. Dead easy to work on. Parts are scarce but findable. I really like this model. I have a couple and want more. I bet there is a lot to be gained through porting on these beasts. Meanwhile, I just got a McC model 77 and am flabbergasted by how much motor they packed into so little space that long ago.
That's what.....................$4,000 in today's money?!?!?!?!
I like your thinking folks...
good points will keep them in mind..! Vintage stihl must be very nice to!
forsure,, Ok to add one more dynamics to this thread
ok i play around with old motor bikes alot old ones
i know quite abit about old Hondas street and trail cb ct cub dream ect ect nothing over 350cc though..not say bigger bikes are not as good just dont like em..
I find honda motors about the best i have worked on so far
i have found so far for motor design function and parts basically are bullet proof.
if maintained,, why i say this is i find old bikes sitting for 30+ years and basically clean carbs points and they are goood to go some dont even smoke yet! ...anyways
Ok so now what brand would you consider in the vintage chain saw world to be as equal in quality dependablilty and workmanship as Vintage honda?
This leads me to ask Did honda ever make a Chainsaw? i know they made a vintage snowbile which was a flop but problly still runs ect lol
Sorry my mind wander when
inspired
luv them old saws! ha!
Also i thank you all for your help...
found this but dont know if this a true honda or home created
