Ran across a ms361 that looks to have been used a fair amount just judging from the pics and bar wear - not terrible though. Haven't looked at in in person yet. They are asking $400 obo. They claim its too big for them which makes me think they are just reselling it.
I am not a professional but own some land and cut about 5 cords of firewood a year, clear land, etc. Either saw would do the job but the 361 is a little lighter and quite a bit better saw from what I have read.
What's involved in taking off the muffler to view the piston and cylinder? Is this just two bolts? Hex or allen head? I have a Husqvarna now so am unfamilar with Stihls. Want to have the right tools when I look at it.
Leaning toward the 361 if he will come down but it's still about the price for a new 290. A little leary about getting a dog... Advice?
Just got something back saying he has had it for 2 years...
