Well Dave, you know me and 2100's-01's I will keep mine till the end of time. I would definately keep the 2101, 3120 is a great saw hard to get rid of that too, but the pot is pretty sweet! Homy Jim I understand, as long as you are happy, and I agree with Frasier, and 7hpjim, bulletproof! I will tell ya first hand I have seen 288's go through things that a saw should never have to, and walk away strong and running like a SOB! One of the best ever built saws of any brand, strong, and will oil and pull even a 42inch bar. Strong, you know me too on the 66 love, the 288 will test your faith against a 66, they are that good. Aaron thanks on the recipe, you think you can salvage bearings? I would like to say a big thank you for a favor I never even asked for. All our V-stack, and k&N adapter talk, and being harder to find, I get a text message from Cary yesterday, he found a V-stack at the saw shop, he had already grabbed it, and it's in the mail to me, what can I say but thank you, and a pal is a pal, that is a friend for sure! That is what I love about this place, and why I love our handfull of really good threads, and fine friends, thank you Cary
Bit offtopic but what the hell you know those little metal rollers inside bearings?? Now not sure about the ones in chainsaws but cant see why the quality of metal be different but ones from trucks, cars etc... make excellent knife material. Properly melted down and everything- need a skilled metallurgist or blacksmith though etc... but the material its free or real cheap at scrapyards knives made from them hold an excellent edge easily shave the hair of your arm and stay sharp throughout skinning unlike the crap from china.
Cary the v-satck came today thanks so much! I will get the check off, was not waiting on the part, I know you are stand up
