My good buddy, you know the one here in town that has the high top, 288. They are out of town, and I am doing the chore's, and watching there animal's. I just had to look at it, why do I do it to myself

 

[paccity]

Norm...I'm not asking this to be a jerk, but if you want a 288 that bad, Why don't you get a project one to build......There's a bazillion parts out there for them.....Compared to Stihls, I'm surprised how cheap they sell on FeeBay too. The best part is that they are completely a viable work saw today still.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Pac, lonely indeed, need's to come home with me! J-deuce no worrie's good question, just no cash brother, only reason. He would trade for my 044, but that I can't do.

 

[jockeydeuce]

Yeah, I understand, Norm......There's only so many $$ out there right now.

Keep an eye out though. A C-note will get ya a project 288 or even a 181 at times. Once you've got that, some begging, trading, and bottle pickin' will get 'er done.

Hello 288 fans.

Very nice day here on the mountain.

 

[Teddy.Scout]

Man,
I am back to hating this thread!
No time to mess with or tear into a saw!
Firewood season is upon "US"
I say us, because the wife is scheduling the deliveries!
Best and worst thing I ever did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides keeping me humping, she has the collection hand out when I get back!
Kinda used the excuse, I need that saw for firewood a bit too much!!
Now I have to pay the piper!

That saw needs to be rescued!

Someday, I already cleare'd a spot for it! You get my last text last night?

Hello 288 fans.

Very nice day here on the mountain.

How about a recent photo of the mountain? Since some guy's don't visit the redwood thread, I want to show you a beauty. Took pic's yesterday. To me they are as beautifull as moutain's. Man I love both.

 

[upstateny]

Just thought I'd stick a pic of my "project" 288 in here. Its starting to come together.

Bump for Norm!

Bump for Norm!

I'm hoping that Norm sees your bump. He now has that 'lonely' 288XP (that he posted pics of) after some horse trading (that I played a small part in) plus a 'rebuilder 288XP.

Now that I've got my 272XP I want a 181/281/288 to mess with (and a 2100CD/2101XP, but that's another story). Maybe I can horsetrade/buy that rebuilder 288XP from Norm. Gotta sell some more old Mag on the bay....

I happen to know someone with a really sweet 288XP, whacha' got for trade fodder type stuff even..............say 70cc's?

I have recently purchased 288 lite and am having the HD air filter. Mine has is oval where it connects to the intake instead of round. Can anybody help me out? Thanks

The HD air filter uses a different mounting elbow than the standard filter. You need to swap it out to use the HD filter.
