That looks familiar, used to help my Dad haul hay from Bill Wards (guy that had the elk ranch) in Delta Junction to Soldotna View attachment 1039317
I think the the guy that owns the place now is Pleggerman?
hay slowed traffic run yesterday down here. hay load landed in middle of the freeway... made the news and made a mess, as well...

All you guys talking about how awesome the 400i is caused me some restless nights, pictures coming soon.
The 400 takes several tanks to break in and show it's true colors. They then run like a good running 044/440. They really benefit from a muffler mod too. Some go bark box, I make my own copycat of the bark box that's less obnoxious.

Well I decided I'm feeling decent so BRUFAB ain't having all the fun! Off to do some slow pace easy scrounging.
My aim is to get some saw therapy, and get fresh fuel in the 700, the larger craftoulan,Stihl 051 ( to get in my daily work out, and the 291 I just finished.

So is this where were supposed to post pics of random wood for free that we found🤔 asking for a friend🤣 today's activities, did some ash and birch clean up on a lot I own, a lot of stuff from when we logged the adjoining lot out for my dad's build site. The lil Remy performed flawlessly and was super loud just how I like it😜

Could this be considered a scrounge? $50, still has all the stickers on it, new chain, and it runs perfectly. Ran a tank of fuel through it with no issues.

That's no scrounge that's prime fodder for the 'you suck thread' 🤣 but yes it qualifies, and that was a steal, great find and score on the saw man

Best part is when I went to pick it up the guy selling it was my old commercial insurance agent from when I had an excavating business. He gave me a money back guarantee. And we stood in the parking lot and chatted for 45 min...lol

Not sure if my Dolmars will accept it into the fold.

I have a lot of nice Stihl saws but the 011 rear handle and top handle are my favorite. Reed valve, nice low end torque. Enjoy your scrounge. Let the Dolmars know they can be replaced and they will work harder.

That was a steal! I've got my Dad's 011 that sat for years and it needs a new carb ($65). Would like to get it running some day.
