Nice job Mark!

Thanks
Got to love that brass bucking spike!

I just finished this one up just a few minutes ago. First time I ran 1/2" chain that was full chisel. That stuff is the **** now! Just need to find a new stop switch for it.

All those chips came from just two cookies.. Big chips too..

Nice saw. I'll bet it has tons of torque. I'll be looking forward to running one of your stout gear drives at the GTG if you bring one.

I'll bring this one, it already has gas in it.

Picked up a Poulan Pro 445 today at the flea market, it's ugly, dirty and was froze up when I got it. Freed up and fired and the piston looks good (no pics until I clean it)
The starter cover is pretty bad and missing the filter cover.

Cleaned it up a bit and here it is, not great but 70cc's didn't clean up as good as I hoped.

Gary, that is great to see you moving your saws around, now if you can just start using them. )

I've been working on a Poulan 3500 that I picked up a couple of years ago and just recently found an intake boot for. Got the boot installed and started replacing the fuel lines when I noticed there is no take vent line, not even a hole for one, do some of these saws vent some other way rather than coming out next to the fuel line?

I don't have a 3500 but the saw is very similar to the 3000 and 3300 in terms of design. Base on that there should be two holes, like you think.
look at page two of the IPL. and you will see the two holes in the tank.

I would send some but I would have to find it first. I think I put it somewhere where I wouldn't lose it. I have this red box that I put things in when I don't want to misplace them.

I should use a smaller box. I think it is in there somewhere.

Man, I wish I had a red box like that. I could fill it with a lot of neat stuff.

Some really nice saws on that shelf.

Man I missed a lot over the weekend! Great looking pics and videos of cutting guys, awesome stuff!
Here are a few I took this weekend when we went out to cut some black pine for camp fire wood. I took one of the 5200's and the 3800.
I took the pictures so none of me cutting, but man I loved running the 5200 even though it wasn't in very big wood. My father in law is the
one in the pic using the 3800. Both saws ran really good. Going to do some more cutting this weekend with the 5200 again, hopefully in
some bigger wood.

Great pics Nate! Looks like some great country scenery there too. I have never cut a conifer type tree in my life. Wouldn't know one kind from another. I do know my Ash from a hole in the ground though. and Oak, and Hickory, and Maple.

Keep up the good work....and pics..LOL

Gregg,

Gregg,

Thanks Gregg and I will! Everything we cut is Red Fir, Tamarack and Black Pine. Black pine for camp fires and the Red Fir and Tamarack for my in laws wood stove for winter.
The country is beautiful up there, I really enjoy spending a lot of weekends there.

That's gonna be one helluva campfire!

Haha, that would be! We use some at our place on the river and bring some home for our personal fire pits at our house too.

Gregg,

I cut some pine this year. Gregg, you wouldn't believe how fast a saw goes through that wood. It's fun when you're used to hard woods.

The 5200 tore through that small pine!
