Well , I found this site doing a search for 'A' chainsaw. I got a decent 40cc saw that is made by Ryobi. It cut enough wood to keep me warm this winter at 4800'. After reading on this site about good firewood saws, I bought an 028 Super on Ebay, from a member here. It is very clean, needs a piston and cylinder, on the way.
I was at a friends house for a brew or two , Look in the garage and see a MS290 sitting on the shelf! Whatcha gonna do with dat? He says he got it to cut down 3 small trees in the front yard, he is done with it. I say, I will build you a nice computer in exchange for that. He says , Hell ya, I need a new computer!
So I have an 028 Super, and a near new 290, along with the cheapy I bought.
I tell the girlfriend I have to go to the lawnmower shop to see if they have a base gasket for the P&C I have coming. The guy asks what I need, I say I need a base gasket for a 028 Super, he smiles at me, walks over to an orange case and opens it. A new looking 028 Super w/20" b/c, new chain, fuel line, filter and a new plug!
He says you can have this package for $140.00, I say $125.00. He says go pay the lady. I now have 4 chainsaws, and after cleaning up the case, I have a splitting wedge, grease gun for sprockets, sharpening file, and an extra Stihl chain!
My question is, is this how CAD begins, and can I stop the flow of chainsaws?
You guys did this, I hold you all responsible! I think I will keep the 028S, and sell the 290. I have a 25" ES bar looking for a saw!
P.S. Did a muff mod on that 028S, it screams. I think it cuts as fast as the 290, and it is 1 1/2 pounds less. And it just looks and feels so much better!
