I'm here to - waiting for some bits to make my 2100's live again.
I rebuilt an early 36mm Stihl 009 today - is that a muscle saw? It is about the size of one of our delicious green lip oysters. (A kind of mussel).

Al, an 009L was my very first saw many years ago... Kind of what started all this madness! So, I guess I could say, in a round about way it led me to muscle saws! :D I still own it but sadly it spends all of it's time on the shelf...

Nice saws, and filters my friends. I love them both too never get tired of seeing or running them. Got an Oak down on one of the hunting ranches, saw from a distance yesterday, looked as I had hoped to have some worthy wood.

I needed this like another hole in my head. For all practical purposes it's new. I'm not sure I'm man enough to start the thing. It will be next week before I can play with it.

Replaced the fuel line and rebuilt the carb. I pulled it one time and it fired, took the choke off and it ran great in a cloud of blue smoke. I thought this is impossible. Then I remembered that I had squirted a good jig of mix in the spark plug hole when I first got it to loosen things up. Chain kept running so I replaced the spring. Man, I like this saw. Reminds me of a big block with a racing cam. It is a bear to pull over but it doesn't kick back bad like some saws. Oils like crazy, can't imagine why you would need the extra squirt. Too cool.

Here is my newest muscle saw. A nice Stihl 056 super. I recently bought it off of craigslist for $80, then I had it ported. WOW!! I put a 32" bar with a skip tooth chain on it, man what a torque monster. Here are some pictures of it getting used for the first time. I bucked up a pile of red oak logs then ripped them all, good times.
