I liked my 310 to start with when it was the only saw I had used (apart from Dad's 031 AV). Then it quickly became my least favourite saw in the stable and I sold it. @KiwiBro is the MS310 fanboi :sucks:.
I thought I remember you saying you were never going to sell it at one time :laugh:.
I've had a few of them, always to sell ;), one would pull a 24" like any stock 60cc pro saw, it was an awesome runner:chainsaw:.
When I came home last night there was an ms271 sitting on the porch o_O, not another one :crazy2:. Ends up it was the neighbor's grandson's saw, he wanted me to sharpen the "blade for him". He was cutting with it last weekend and it was killing me just listening to it run it was so dull :eek:. I spent 25 min with it on the grinders and got it nice and sharp. Added a half a tank of fuel and cut a couple buckets worth of black locust, it did very well until you got to the stuff over 14", he should be happy. I was surprised it cut so much on what little fuel I added, I figured I was gonna get the best use out of that chain before he ran it into the ground again :clap:.

Hmm. Not sure if I said that (must have got over it pretty quickly) but I know someone who did.

Not so! I also have three saws, the little 59cc MS310, the 76cc MS460 and the 91cc Limby. I just haven't used the 310 for 7 years. Might as well tidy it up and sell it.

The 310 was my first 'real' saw so it won't ever be sold.

That's funny stuff right there, I like the absolutes like that, the other one is "my wife bought me this saw(or it was a gift to me) I'll never sell it":laughing:.
I read a post like that just a few minutes ago and had to laugh.
I can garuntee my Echo's will never get sold.
:popcorn2:
 
Son's 14 Chevy truck just suffered the 6.2 Curse at 86k. Worst part was he's off work for bow season and was on his way to his hunting lease for 10 days. I think its like 3 months off the power train warranty.

Figure that's gonna bump 5k to fix.
 
Happy belated Birthday Jeff, and Happy Thanksgiving to all you Northerners!

The weekend up at the cabin went well, the old cabin now has a new roof (plywood and all), and the wood stove did it's job keeping us all warm last night (temps went into the 30s).

Will post more after I recover a bit!

I guaranteed my wife that I will never buy a saw that I don't need. Ironclad guarantee wrapped in a promise served on top of a pledge. I never have and I never will. :laugh:

I dont know exactly your saying happened. Cam failure? Bearing failure? Did a push rod roller seize and it destroyed to cam?

Thanks guys. Roughing it here in Daytona Beach. It's nice but all they have are palm trees and I don't see chimneys on any of these houses. Decent sunrise though. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canucks and happy Columbus Day to the Muricans!
