not that its anything new. im an 80 year old logger stuck in a 25 year old body, im bound to attract some attention. but heres the story.
i stopped into the deere,kubota,mahindra,dr, bandit,stihl dealer today. being of the husqy persuasion i was curious about the stihls, especially the ones that get the most attention here. so i took the liberty of inspecting a 361 and a 441. (dont know about cancer but i still have a cold so the 361 must have been faulty)
heres where i started getting funny looks. i took the saw apart. now i didnt look inside the crank or anything that major. but i spun the bar nuts off, looked at the clutch/tensioner/oil ports/chain catch/etc. took the upper plastic off, removed the air fliter, looked at the carb, how the spark plug was in there, etc. basically i wanted to know how well the saw was designed and how easy it was to work on. you would think i was stuffin the peices in my back pack! they got all bent outa shape!
think about it from the outside a saw is a saw is a saw. it has two handles two tanks and a cuttin peice, the details are inside.
am i the only one who takes a saw apart before i buy it?
