Don't know about all that but I do know this, ole Rope should be a millionaire. Around here the going rate for a arborsit is 225.00 a hour running a saw. 4000 times 225.00 comes out to $900,000 big ones. To hell with the saw I wanna see Rope's custom made Caddy,LOLOLOLOL

If rope is insured, thats where most of that $ probably goes. And then fuel bill for the trucks, upkeep, tires, saws/gas/oil/bar oil.

Are ya gonna get her ported again Rope? If I were you I'd stay stock and get another 7 instead of ported and getting a year but thats just me,
Tom I doubt the port had anything to do with this maybe leaking case or the impluse line let junk in I will post pics of the piston and cylinder so you guys can help determine

Was messing with ya Rope. Far as a leaking pulse hose or case goes those rpms would have went sky high if either was the problem. High rpm scoring is usually pretty severe. Was she screaming to high heaven before she took the trip? I personally think that low to the ground stump cut did her in. She sure isn't the first to meet her doom at the stump, alot of saws regardless of age or hours meet their fate that way.
Now lets see that custom Caddy you got from all the money that saw made for you. Don't lie and say you don't have one stashed in the back of the barn, lets have a look see,:Eye::Eye:

Well the saw was being run by a friend when the impluse broke and my fear was he may not have told me until some damage occurred. As far as the caddy lol not here tree men don't make no money here lol a large pine piece down lucky to get 7 bones for and thats with stump grind and clean-up. Tree there would be 2750!
PS: Thanks to some member sponsors here I gots me a brand new 372xpw coming to wear out
I am only bringing it out on the good paying jobs lol and will run the wheels off my old saws.

It'd be pretty funny if you opened the box and there was a 441 inside....

It is nice to see a man that uses tools and gets all the wear out of them.
To last 8 years of day in and day out hard use is amazing.
True I might be biased as I am drinking the ORANGE koolaid.
Saw Dr. you are a nice guy, but no that would not be funny
Rope wants a HUSKY, a man's saw.

Yup I will test the case before working it but it runs and idles fine. The new one may not get fuel in it for a while lol, it is going to be my ace in the hole! My other 372 is still going strong so after case test or just new seals just for the heck of it my old dog will still hunt lol.

Likely when I decide to get rid of them they will be worthless lol used up!
Oh I plan to clean up the transfer on the ported cylinder and get a new meteor piston as I really loved the power it had!
It really was minimal I believe a little acid and elbo grease be good as new.
