Look what the cat drug in! 2101 is still running strong, and my favorite saw. Hello band! what up Andy!
There are a fair number of used HS136's that come up on ebay throughout the the yr. The only caveat there is to make sure the throttle shaft doesn't have excessive play side-to-side, or evidence of moisture fouling from running and storing ethanol gas. I have quite a few rebuilt and waiting for when the need arises....they rebuild well with a complete kit. You can blank off the gov, but I wouldn't if you're using original piston & jug. So much is NLA on these saws, I personally wouldn't be pulling max RPM out of them by defeating the gov due to their age and scarcity of parts. YMMV
Some yrs ago I waited six month for a new HS136 from Tillotson......only to find out they decided not to make a production run.

I sliced some big red wood and rattled some screws out of my 2100 a couple weeks ago.

I cut down a cottonwood with my 2100 not long ago. It was 3 trees growing together, the stump was 48"x72". The big husky ate it up. Hi Norm!

I ran one for the first time at the Georgia GTG. Powerful, fairly light and ST's fav, "nimble" feeling. Nice saws.

They sure are a nice saw. Lots of torque and they just have a real cool sound. They are a lot more fun to run than a 3120, those things are just HEAVY!!!

The 2100/2101 put down more timber in the PNW than probably all other saws combined back in the day. I worked loggin' shows where all the saws were orange and that was common. They were priced very competitively here, power to weight ratio was fantastic and they were a near perfect saw in design. I've yet to run a stock saw that I like better.......

Sorry been awhile band. been so happily married, found my soulmate and best friend. been dealing in a tough year though. we have a family and my wife is amazing. but facing the toughest road ive ever seen, and to be honest I have never faced something that scared me like this. she has been having health trouble since new year a lot of emergency rooms, and doctors. found she has breast cancer and in lymphnode too. Im scared boys real scared need prayers, and thoughts. my mom is giving up house, and job in Colorado. to come and help care for my wife, and kids. going to be facing a lot of expense, and I may have to give up my 2101. thinking of maybe having to auction it here or something, have to do anything and everything I can. I would gladly take the cancer in her place. I have never loved someone so much, nor been down this road.... sure miss, and hope all of u are well. give us positive thoughts and prayers if u would....

life is all about living and helping each other out. to be honest, anyone who thinks life is about wealth and money i literally dislike them automatically and have no interest in them being my friend.

My wife and I agree. Our small family, and true friends, all that really matters....
