Stihl makes a great product, don't get me wrong. But some guys go a little gaga over what resale values should be.

I'm my opinion a 461 is an ok saw. I've used them. Rebuilt them. Solid saw. I tend to stay away from the 1 and 2 series of stihl saws. For my own personal use that is. The guy I fix saws for has been buying MS391 lately and I keep telling him they won't last. Have already repaired 3 of them. On 1 the rear handle is broke and the av buffer mount is broken. New handles aren't cheap. The springs don't seem to last as long as the older rubber av systems. I'm not a fan of having thay much play in something when it's in my hands spinning that fast. My opinion only.

You gotta love when you can build and sell a 290/390 for 2-3x what you have in it though!

Yeah I'm old school. I can tune saws so I will stick with something I can fix in a pinch and not need to have programed

I know of someone who bought a 391 when he should of bought a 362 or a 461. He's had it a little over a year and he's repaired about everything you've listed at least once.

My version of a muffler mod to not make as much noise. Made a silencer for my longboard and it sure got rid of a lot of the pop pop sound. Now you heare the engine and intake more than exhaust

I am out of touch and mostly out of the loop.
It was colder than a well digger's ass last year when we were up there.
More State Fair pictures from this past Friday. It was plenty warm and muggy there that day. Had to sit in the voice chair again, the first picture was from last week.
Got a few more coming.

Last bunch of State Fair pictures. First one is with Alilca Lewis, the morning traffic reporter from ch. 11. Turns out she's from Osceola.
Some folks from the MPR, I dubbed them the "MPR hat people".
There's a good food stand down by the Colliseum/Hippodrome, Donna's BBQ. They have good pork tenderloin sandwiches. (and decent prices too)
Another good one is Mike's Burgers, just to the south of the giant slide on the same side of the street. $2 hamburgers/$2.50 cheeseburgers, and they are not bad. (But the price is right) Didn't try the deep fried hot dog, but I did try a friend's deep fried oreo from the deep-fried candy bar stand up the street.
Famous Dave's Pig Lickers. Chocolate-covered bacon, however, although they're good, I would say Bacon Candy is still the best.
And of course the all-you-can-drink-milk stand to wash everything down.

Anyone interested in a good deal on a nearly running Mac 2-10? Just needs a starter rope and a little tuning. Has fresh rebuilt carb. Just wanted to throw it out here as shipping this would double the cost of the saw so not worth putting in the trading post.

They have been there 25 years that I know of. I've never stopped in.
I haven't been receiving notices on this thread. Let's plan a mini-GTG at my place. Wendell, when is the next Sunday you will be up this way?

Sunday September 20th it is. Don't be blowing a tranny to get out of this one.
If anyone needs directions, address, contact info... PM me.
I'll be in Bloomington and am supposed to be done by noon (although I'm guessing it will be a bit later.)
PM sent. We are in Duluth for a wedding reception the night before. I might be late, but I'll be there.
Hey dieselfitter do you want a sticky thread with GTG details?
