That looks fantastic! I'm just curious if you could put a value on your rebuilds considering all your time and effort, if you don't mind me asking.

OMG that beast is AMAZING Lee. That 10 pin is sweet on there and dosen't even seem to work it at all. 
I don't mind you asking at all.
Although it's a difficult question to answer.
I have never actually kept track of the time it
takes but i would guess around 25 hours and
then the parts you have to put into a specific
saw. This saw needed a top end do to a broken
piston ring. So i found a really nice used piston
and cylinder. New parts included, Rings, all bearings,
gaskets, seals, fuel lines, carb kit, filters, sprocket
and hardware. Then the used bar and new chain.
I don't think i will ever sell this saw but if the time ever comes it would be somewhere in the 2 grand area.
The 797's i have done arn't worth as much although
they received a ton more parts. There just not as rare.

Very nice, paint looks amazing. Need to get set up to paint like that. Made one hell of a pile of chips. Looks like the 10pin helped, almost forgot it was a gear drive. It will be a bear if it gets pinched.
Thanks Guys, This saw came out very well.
I think i will leave the 10 pin on it for now.
It sure can pull some chips. I didn't really
realize how much till i watched the video.
Can't wait to get the decal kit.

Been down that road with the Stihls!!!!

If i'm not mistaken Bill G has some drives made up you can change the rim on the 1100/1130/3100 saws.

Thanks Lee,
Even though I don't do what you do and probably never will, I can appreciate the effort you put into it. Great work. I can only imagine what your entire collection is worth.
Thanks Matt, As for the rims, they are a custom rim from
Danzco inc. in Washington state. The rim drive i had on
another Homie geardrive. It's an original Oregon adaptor.
Very hard to find from what iv'e been told.
I would love to if i had a log that big.
I could try noodleing with it and see
how it doe's.

I can't believe you are using it. Museum quality, heck, way better than that! Paint from the factory normally doesn't come in as good of quality as most think, and there is no doubt this saw exceeds that many times over. Great job!

You should be at the Heritage Festival in South Boston VA then
I know there is half a tree they left last year. I had to cut it in half so they could even move it.
