Maybe they're not photo links but video links - either way, they don't work...
Hoss, I went through all 12 pages of that thread and don't see any posts by you - did you change your name? Many of the photos don't appear for me....
he says it has 175 PSI cold and 170 hot.
Here is a video of him cutting a big doug fir with it....looks like it starts, runs and idles well....

So now what do you think?
Thanks so much!
what will it look like inside?
Also, say you get a saw with inadequate compression - how much would it cost to rebuild it with new piston, cylinder, rings, etc?
I think the decision will ultimately come down to you. Everyone will have a opinion about a saw. Buy it only if you feel comfortable spending the money and trust the seller. If you don't feel comfortable bidding on one now, just do some research here using the search button and then you will have a better feeling about what to look for and what you want. Hope that helps.
Lastly, where abouts in Ohio are you located? I would love to stop by and try out that 880:greenchainsaw:.
Hey, man - I'm in Columbus now, but I do most of my cutting in Alliance at my folks' place! Not far from Mantua. In fact, in college in like 1993 I worked at Hattie Laurlham Foundation!
What's your e-mail, and I'll let you know next time I'm up that way...
PS - just ordered a 21" bar for it....now that should be a screamer!
The one pictured above. $1000. Starts first pull. Decent shape. I'm going to try to find a parts saw, and replace some of the stuff that's a little rough, like the 3 broken fins on the starter cage.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GOOD ADVICE ON THIS SAW!
PS - should aStihl ES 880 bar fit this saw? Both are .404, but the 880 bar didn't line up when I tried to install...
