Id like that...

So what do you consider your best (or most fun) saw mod? I already mentioned how butt kicking your milled/ported 660 was. And I hear you've done some 880s.

Give!

Hospital stays can be dangerous. As the saying goes, "An idle mind is the Devil's playground.". I researched and bought a new DSLR last time I was in the hospital! What say we plan out your 372XPW build?

My arborist work is a good part of my living, but I'm a professional photographer by trade. So, what DSLR did you get, and why?

He handles an 880 like I might a 260!

Ever been on stumbleupon? It'll take all your interests and send you to sites that they think meet the criteria. Pretty cool stuff!

I bought a Canon 7D to replace the 40D that I have. I still have the 7D.

Id have to say a 372xpw but not far behind is a MS460. Those are what I use and mod the most.

Don't forget that Shinny 757, hope to hear it zing on Saturday!

I remember Demoral dreams, weird stuff.

Ohh that stuff was gross. Turned me into a zombie and had awful nightmares on it. In fact, the pain meds eventually made me feel worse than the originally injury. When you think you're ready, slowly get off that stuff.

Have only done a couple of those and 7900s. Ill stick with the orange stuff, just preference though.

That 757 you did hung with any 70 cc saw out there....

Has a bit of an air leak now, runs away with itself.


I like the orange too, but it ran like a striped ape......

Just saying.

When you get to 72" dia trees, you are talking real timber.

I suggest cutting the squish band 0.030" and I don't think windows in the piston are any good. My saw with windows runs great but you have to cut the transfers so far up into the cylinder to make them worth it. This time I cut the full skirt portion off the piston and only cut the transfers up to the base, this way the a/f can pass by the piston much easier when the piston is at BDC.

The big question everyone wants to know is what oil do you use?:msp_biggrin:

Maybe someday. I've done a fair amount of 60" cottonwood in the Dakotas, but mostly that's out in the wide open, and all you gotta do is pick a day when the winds are purty gentle and go with the leans. Those days are easy.

Jasha is one of those guys who is young, relatively speaking, but cleaves to the old ways and has dropped big timber, as well as modding saws for big timber. That's why he gets the respect of men like RandyMac, Jacob J and Gologit. That's also why he gets the respect from people who don't have that level of experience but who understand experience when they see it.

There is no way to overestimate the brute competence of the best and most experienced members here. They have spent their lives learning it, living it, and sharing it.

And if Jasha can no longer run the big saws in big wood (but we all want him to get back to that!), I think he can make good jing modding saws. I wouldn't hesitate to send any or all of my saws to him, and I know that's true for a ton of AS members. He is one of the top guys here!

Jasha, God bless you and keep you and yours.
