Well I have a new clutch on the way for the G70 and in the mean time work has begun on the Bradley. Getting it stripped down and cleaned up for life as a display. Hopefully running display lol...

Very nice! Speaking of Mac gear drives. I'm picking one up this weekend. A Super LG 2, only made for 1 month, it's here local which is cool, but I don't need it so passing it along to someone else.

I keep looking for more local deals. Trying to talk someone into giving up their old 2 man mac with a 4 foot bar for much less then they're asking currently.

 

[Kensie1988]

Yeah the two man saw prices are on the rise it seems

It's an old model 99 that doesn't run (possibly seized) and he is asking $350 for it.

I’m probably dumb but I been buying older partner and partner pioneer chain saws when there good looking and cheap. The Johnsered seems to be priced higher.

Yes they are priced a little higher, it's hard to say what is really driving the price up over Partner saws, but they bring a lot more than partner saws do.

That's not horrible if it isn't seized.

During my Christmas break I found enough parts to build a 630 Jred except the muffler bolts and gasket. Only new parts I'll have to pay for are probably cranks seals. I also finally got the part for the handle on my XL-12 that I broke a year ago.

What year 630? I can check and see if the bolts and gaskets are still available from Husqvarna.

 

[Huskybill]

A lot of johnsereds are discontinued Husqvarnas.

 

[805 McCulloch]

Thanks for the offer Dylan but I think i'll keep looking. I've probably got some hiding somewhere at the shop.

 

[s sidewall]

Steve are the burgers ready yet? Lol

 

[805 McCulloch]

ya the parts support for older saws is bad and it's getting worse. I'm replacing the pickup on a Husky 281XP and they want $100+ CDN for the genuine Husky part.

Hog trap out, no hog yet, water is back into the creek so they have moved back into the bottom again. Saw rooting in the swamps this morning. Guess we'll be moving the trap again.

We have everything but hogs here in the northeast. I wish we had hogs.

Have the cracked corn out all year. Checked the trail cam and a nice 8pter. We have another one about 275/300# but can’t count the points it’s a crazy twisted up rack. We have bears, yotes, mountainlions, bobcat and lynx.

 

[s sidewall]

We've got bobcats, yots, hogs, does with an occasional buck, turkeys now and then.
