In the pawn shop where I got the 7900.
And I happened to notice that the chain was on backwards!

Chain on a "Wild Thing" backwards, hmmm. Reminds me of a doctor, true story, who came to me fussing and carring on cause his new chain I made him didn't cut worth a hoot, I had done something terribly wrong according to him, he was ticked, all my fault his saw stopped cutting. I said lets have a look at it. He goes to his car and brings me the saw, he had put the chain on backwards. I put it on right for him and politely told him I hoped he didn't work in the emer. room...WadePatton said:In the pawn shop where I got the 7900.

Apparently from his choice in saws, he is a cheap a-- too !
You'd think someone with that kind of money might pop a little more out for a better saw .

TimberPig said:Heck Timber that isn't anything. Had a lawyer bring me a MS290 one time, the whole side of the saw was melted off from trying to use it with the chain brake on. When I showed him what he had done wrong he said his wife had been using it. I thought yep, typical lawyer, lying sucker but I was nice, I never said a word but I was thinking, him and the doc make a good pair...THALL10326 said:Apparently from his choice in saws, he is a cheap a-- too !

Gearhead1 said:THALL, you just gave me the laugh of the day with your story about the melted Stihl. The fact that the saw was run so long with the brake engaged is hilarious and only is better with the excuse "my wife did it"! I am reminded of an incident from years ago when I was working at a McCulloch dealer. It wasn't a chainsaw, but a rear engine rider. An older guy (65+) from probably 3-5 miles from the shop brought in his lawn tractor for repair (it wouldn't run I recall). How he did this was what amazed me; his wife drove the car and he tied a rope from the rear bumper to the front of his rider! I laughed so hard when I saw that rig roll in the driveway! I remember checking the wheel bearings to see if they were smoked or glowing red, but they seemed okay. I greased them well when it was in the shop for repair. When it was ready to go, he came to pick it up and just drove it home while his wife took the car.
