I've had a 026 for about 13 years, only problem I ever had with it was the factory plastic oiler warped a little and started leaking.......dealer warrantied it and put an all-metal oiler on it and no more problems.
I was up at the saw shop picking up some supplies the other day, went and looked over the saws........next thing you know I am the new owner of a ms361. Dealer went on and on about that saw.
As usual, I did research on the saw AFTER I bought it and that's when I joined AS. Come to find out the 361 has almost a cult-like following, just wondering what makes this saw SO popular. By the way, i haven't used it yet. I crank it every afternoon when I get home and let it run for about 5 seconds, but no use yet. I plan to take down some trees at my cousin's house this weekend though.
