You must polish them...
And use a toothbrush to clean them...
And take pictures of them being loaded, then photoshop the pics for more vibrant color...
And stuff...

Okay okay okay I will do most of that but I don't know how to use Photoshop. The 5100 is pretty much ready to go but still have to clean the 7900 and the 066 then! Just been working on the house too much! About half done but getting there.

I seem to remember Jim showed you his and you wanted to touch it. It was only out for a few minutes he didn't want everyone to see it. I saw it too. It was nice I wish I had one that big.

I agree I haven't gotten to run a 090 ether. The only other one I have even seen was when BillG made it to Mitch's. They may not be fast but if you have 60" wood to buck up it sure beats trying to widdle away at it with a 16" bar on a racing saw.

Do my saws have to look like they're going to prom for this gig or can they actually look like work saws?

I quit cleaning all my saws up nice and pretty after my 2nd or 3rd GTG. Sharpen em up and load em up!

I think I'll be able to make it as of right now, work slacked off a bit in the last week, still going by feel, but getting more hopeful.

Your choice of words just don't quite sound right:baffle:

I do recall seeing it now. You'll have to excuse my lack of memory as I have slept since then:confused2:

Why do you taunt me with that 9010 for sale in your sig...
You're doing that on purpose... Aren't you...
:amazed:

It's taunting me too after I ran yours.

All I need is a fair offer on it and it is yours:hmm3grin2orange: asking price is not selling price just saying. I made a video of it yesterday in some soft wood getting ready to Evilbay it but would rather see it go to someone here.

You know what I do remember seeing it now. He didn't have it running though.
I picked up new OEM crank seals for the 029 today. Man they aren't cheap:eek: $36 for two

OUCH! i think they are like $7 at northwoods for a pair!

My 2150 build off saw is getting closer to being done. It just needs to be assembled.

IT was brand new there. It had never been fueled until that day. Mark H was the first one that run it. I have used it three other times since then. I have more bar and chain combos for my ms660 and 460 so I it really is a duplicate saw for me that could serve someone else better. I can deliver it in person at the GTG:D

IF I didn't have two SP125's and two SP105's and one 066, and if I don't get the BP399T then I might consider buying a nearly new 9010...

Mark

Hmmmm that makes three AS members in 12 miles that are on that bidding list :help:




I will let you visit it, Mark :msp_thumbup:

Well I have sparked the interest of a few friends. none of them are on arboristsite but are interested in coming along. They all have a few saws as well, nothing crazy but stock woods saws. I wanted to ask if itd be alright if they come with, maybe if there is a grill available ill bring 10 pounds of burger to help feed the people. I will be bringing a bone stock like new 2050 with just for comparison if people would like to run. Also have a 670 parts saw and possibly a bottom end for a 2159( if i can decide to part with it) for the one fellow and a parts 2037 for the one guy looking for the coil. ill throw them in if your interested its there. Cant wait for the fine aroma of exhaust and wood chips!
