There where some good pic's in this thread. One on page 18 of Sachsmo's saw. And leeha had one or two page 16? Maybe there where some good pic's just cant remember the page. Was going to pm Sachsmo for ya, but he was offline. He has some sweet saws, and pic's. You could try the search, and put in v-stack, also try K&n, and low profile.
 
Nice clean up! Thats a nice duramax hiding in the background! Get a regular cab, so you dont have to drive when ya hang out with friends :D
 
any tricks to getting that flywheel of the 2100? I tried tapping with prying pressure and nothing so my next move will be a homemade adapter to my gear puller and some penetrating oil if no one has any tips. Also wondering if I can access the coil by taking the handle off the saw? Also if the wire is screwed into the coil or not.

I know this saw is not a true muscle saw but I am very impressed with its power for its size and weight. It is a Super Pro 81 and is the same overall size as a McCulloch 10-10 only 80cc and a ton of compression.

Put these pic's in the Redwwod thread, but wanted to share it here with you guy's. It would take some muscle for sure!
 
I have never pulled the flywheel on on Jim. Have on other saws with a pyuller, and tap of a hammer. Like you said I think that would work. Never messed with the coil that I know. Nice sp-81 Aaron Eccentric just got one from my buddy. Fast, and powerfull.
 
My good buddy's dad fell that tree in 86. Took two 966 loader's to load each log, and a cat had to help the low bed in, and out of the haul road. Was a big local thing where I grew up, we all looke'd up to him, and they did a big write up in the local papers. He used a 056, and a 750 homelite.

So norm, what was cut out of this log, I'm a timberman so the recovery is just as interesting as the log itself.



another question men,,,,, why do you guys put such long bars on these saws, they look great for sure but seems overkill to me. ( a nicely balanced bar and chain to go with a nice saw, just whats needed for work or play)

Ausneil, the tree was part of a logging plan by Parmeter logging, back in 1986 and Randymac brought up a real good point, modern mills are not set up to go that big, back then they were capable, but I would guess they had to rip the logs with a chainsaw. They cut the logs in shorter lenghts, not sure the lenght of that lowbed. I am guessing a couple d6's pulled the log's. They Cat logged, and yarder. Think its safe to say to big for the yarder. They had winch skidders too, but no way. The bars I can just speak for guy's around my area, and my small gang. The timber faller's I know had the long bar laying around for bigger tree's like that. Really nice, and necessary help's when you can make one, or a bigger cut, and keep your'e corners square, and buck real big log's. But most I have known prefered a 32in bar for all around work. Including Will who fell that tree. The longest I have is a 34. I run 28, 32, 34. I try and run a bar I can manage, and keep off the ground without extra effort. One that is not too heavy, and one that will balance on the saw, and is not real nose heavy.
 
I would also like to add that my longest bar is 32" on my 066, I usually do most of my cutting with a 20" and 25" bar. I do have longer bars for my older collector saws and only for minimal demonstration cutting and looks, kind of gives the feel of what the old timers had to work with in the big timber. As a firewood cutter for personal use it very rare to find dead trees that the 066 and 32 inch bar can't handle and most of the time I am to lazy to drag it up the hill so the 441 usually does the work with the 25".
 
Thanks men, good informative answers.

When i saw the pic of the guy cutting 3 at once i just had to ask.

That 2100 looks a different saw now from the original pic.
