That's it, ban until you return with picsNo pics of it yet, but I was given a 298 with a brand new, not even broken in yet, Italian top end on it for an early Christmas present!

Welcome to AS David.
I like that, very nice!
Welcome to AS David.
I like the 365oe and the 361 .
Want to sell the 365, I need something to take some pictures of .
Watch it, I resemble that remark, but I do still have a few of them, so I've bought more than I've sold .Don't sell him your 365 David. He's probably bought and sold half of the 365's in the state of Michigan as it is.
There it is .
Thanks fellas. It's pretty dirty but it runs great. I think I'm just gonna roll with it through the cold weather, see how much I like the heat, then tear it down to deep clean once spring hits and maybe send it out.Whoa! Wrapped. … Nice!
Pretty sure he's a member here too.Built by a member on the forbidden forum and recently massaged by a feller in Wisconsin...
She'll throw some chips.
I bow down to you delivering. Nice made in Canada 32" bar, bet it has no problem pulling it.Am I allowed back in the club now?

Great for a one saw plan for firewood. I could do any of my firewooding with a 60 and be just fine with a 20 for normal cutting and a 24 for an occasional larger log that may need to be hit from both sides. For tree work I like to have something a bit faster in the cut, especially storm damage. I liked running the 555 I had with a 17" Windsor bar, I prefer a 60cc saw with a small mount, 560xp would be a cool saw to have.
I think it's the perfect all around saw.60cc really is a great firewood saw. I have a 24” and a 20” which fit most of my needs. I took it to work a few weeks ago because we needed an extra saw or 2 for logging. I ran a 28” bar and full comp chain that is normally on our 390xp. The 390 was running a 32” that day. While my 562 does not have the authority of the 390, it will run the 28 and it’s a lot lighter to carry around all day. My saw is stock and this was white oak and the bar was buried, I was quite impressed.
I think it's the perfect all around saw.
Were you running full or skip on the 28. It probably works out about the same power to inch ratio as running a 455 husky with a 20 and they cut just fine if your not in a hurry.
Cool new saw, congrats.I must be a glutton for punishment... i picked up another Mini-Mac style McCulloch last night, a Super Pro 40. Guy was asking $30 but since it wasn't running and i wasn't able to confirm a spark i offered no more than $20 and he took it with some hesitation.
Initial observations:
- Have not had a chance to try to get it to fire yet, but the saw appears in good shape and mostly all there, minus the manual oiler lever (i have an extra one luckily)
- It's physically a bit larger than a Mini-Mac, although appears very similar in construction
- Mostly metal construction, including the handle which suprised me, it's not a light saw
- Obviously recoil needs attention, feels like either a busted spring or spring is not preloaded correctly
- Good compression! was able to shine a light into the sparkplug hole and all looked good
- leaks a little gas, will have to inspect tank / fuel line / carb
- Appears to be 1/4 chain, is that what these came with?
- Observant people might notice something else strange about the pictures below, next to my clean MM25 for comparison.
