Well, got me a Makita....

[TRI955]

Picked it up today from CL, seems to run really good!!! I already ordered the 54mm BB kit from Bailey's, we'll see what all the hubub is about. I'll get her cleaned up later....

Anybody need a good 6401/6400 topend?????

No kiddin. Our CL is full of junk. Nothin but Crapsman and electric..... I've stopped even looking at it.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Yeah but there was a "smokin hot" deal on a MS660 awhile ago.

Whoops, never mind I better not open that Pandoras box again, we'll never get the lid back on it.

 

[Streblerm]

I'm jealous:greenchainsaw: Tell us about the deal...if you would.

in this area there are 044 440s popn up on craiglist with 500 bucks as the price

026 260's are common from 150-300 bucks

Good luck!

....but I would have opted for an OEM 7900 set-up.....

 

[alderman]

Looks good, Mike. What are the specs on that one and how much do you figure on gaining by going bigger? Looks like its in great shape as is.

CL around here is full of nothing but saws from guys fixing them up and offering them for close to retail price. Anytime I find an add for a good deal it seems someone already bought it before the add was placed...I cannot win.

BTW nice saw and I almost had one on CL for $30 but the usual happened when I called him on my way there like he said..."Someone was already here".

Deal??? Not too sure, is $125 a deal??? I thought it was too much and tried to talk the guy down, it is missing a screw out of the chain brake handle after all!!!!

Well, why don't you rub it in!!



BTW, I bought my 6401 for $75. Top end was lightly scored, but I didn't care, the OEM 7900 kit solved that no problem.

Good find!!!

You guys make it sound like I should have bought an OEM kit for the saw? Did I screw up with the Bailey's kit?? The new cylinder is NiSi....seems like it should be ok to me.

Should be fine, I just found that the price between the BB kit and the OEM is not that big of a jump in price for the increase in quality. I highly doubt I will wear it out though, so the point is kinda moot.
