Hahaha. Ok, I just love my Wild Thang and couldn't resist posting in the Wild Thing Races thread. I resisted as long as I could, but I kept seeing it and the temptation was too great.

I picked up a 2375 that had the wrap handle broken when it was fairly new. More fun........................

I'm in, got a couple of them right here at the house.....
Man, taking vacation has got me behind the 8 ball with you guys!
I still have not got a saw yet. I did remember that I do have this one.
This 2500 should work right? With its very minor muffler mod it outruns a 025 already (I know, not saying much) but I think I can find a little more in it if I get the time to tear into it.
I still want to find a purple and green one though.

What size is the 2500? The Wild Thing I have is 42cc. I notice that the new ones are 40cc. How many different sizes did they make these things?
40cc I think. This is actually a different style then the WT but it is still a clamshell saw.
Ok, so I did a little bit of work on this 2500 and it seems ok, can I play now?
Hope this video works. 16" bar with a out of the box WP chain cutting some dry maple. I cut the pin oak above also and it cut just about as fast.

What size wood will we be cutting? I think I have some 12" and 14" bars to mess with instead of this 16".

Just a heads up...Northern Tool has the Wild Thing, not an imitation, the genuine product on sale for $94. It will be a re-manufactured unit but for a c-note you are in the house for the upcoming races.

I dont want to stir up any #### here but it wood be too easy to slip a 2800-2900 on that frame.
You sir are completly corrrect and bring up a good point. Thats why I posted it here first but rest assured this one is a 2500 at 40cc.

What's to stop a guy from putting a 2900 in a wildthing? Hmmmm, I wonder if I could stuff that PM-850 clamshell engine I have into the Husky 36 chassis...... maybe I should change from Saw Dr to Dr Sawenstein. Just kidding.
Now you guys got me thinking about trading the guy I just sold the Craftsman 40cc for the husky 36 I'm putting back together.
