Looks good to me, and I agree not into the giant filters, that stand staright up, they always get smashed the first week. CRE1992 all three of those saws you mentioned, count, and very much! Nice scores:msp_thumbsup:



Thanks Mr. Norm,

RandyMac and I had a discussion once on the height of the filters on some of those stacked saws.

Me thinks he asked how low I could go?

Photos of some of my 2100 series saws.

Here are four of my 2100 series. Left to right: A 2101w, 2101, 298, and 2100. These are all runners, that are used, and worked. The 2100 just got rebuilt. I bought it new, in 1983. I have three more 2100s, which currently aren't running. I am in the process of rebuilding my other 1983 model.

With their big brother...

Here they are with their big brother 3120. I love the 2101's, and 2100's, but the 3120 is way smoother. The parts are for my other 1983 2100. They got some fresh paint.

The 2100, after all my work rebuilding.

Here is my first 2100, bought in 1983. I have cut an awful lot of wood with this saw. I enjoyed rebuilding it. It is mechanically new again.

Got the lame ass internet myself Shane, sure slow at times! D.lane beauties I say:msp_w00t:

Since I have been reading this thread, I have spent way too much time and money on the old 2100s. Three new bars, new chain, three rebuilds, and another complete rebuild in progress. It's all good though. I love these old powerhouse saws. They are heavy, they vibrate, but boy do they run, and last. Now I have two more, that need cylinders. I got some parts saws, and parts from Mike in Placerville. That will be a help; I wish I had the extra cash to get more parts from him. I wish I could find some nice cylinders that were affordable.
