I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
Husqvarna killed off zenoah/redmax saw sales in the usa last year. Maybe I'll get one of those 550 xp's this year.
Saws 'n stuff in Japan

The girl in the photo (no angel wings, just something in the background) is just a happy-family design touch to improve home center sales, I guess.
The saw was named "kogaru", initially, which also means "little girl" but has somewhat different connotations these days.
This little Zenoah was (and is) very popular over here. Also is copied a lot in China, it seems
That's an interesting marketing strategy.
Got mail from China today...
The cheapest 070 mufflers I will ever find (aftermarket, of course). One is perfect, the other three have minor manufacturing faults but are usable and will be used. Interesting to see the variations in quality...

What are your opinions on sugihara and tsumura bars?
In my opinion next to Stihl the best in quality available at the moment and worth the money.
Had some time today for the muffler
This 070 AV has some damage around the lower spike mount (probably was idling on concrete too often for extended periods) and one of the previous users managed to push the tensioner peg through the casing alloy...
so it will be used in one of the mills as a non-AV. It does run very nicely and has ample compression.

This one arrived today...
...an early 268XPG with a patched metal tank...
and a badly cracked sprocket cover - too little surface pressure to properly hold the bar
But otherwise a nice runner with a working grip heater...

And this one returned to me the other day after 10 years...
45 ?? Yes, in Japan some were designated 45, as 4 is an unlucky number and a Type 44 difficult to sell.
There also was a 644 (type 444)... I got one somewhere and will take some pics when I find it.

Still going well Stephan? We changed out model number scheme on some machines we build to avoid 7 since that number is unlucky to the Chinese.
I should have a 60 DX coming in a couple of months, still searching for that 80 DX.
Keep on collecting!

A few days ago I got this wreck...
The piston looked OK overall, but there was two discernible streaks on the left and right when looking through the exhaust port...
I guess the saw was used as a "root cutter" (they sell special versions for that purpose over here).
Someone had worked on the carburetor and killed it in the process - but the carburetor looked sort of familiar. After some digging I found something usable in my miscellaneous pile. The carb of a Dolmar 133 will swap 1:1 when the L and H needles are replaced.
After fitting a new "homemade" fuel line and a fuel filter the saw runs pretty good - the clutch spring needs to be tightened a bit, though, and the START/STOP switch need to be replaced.

I sometimes use a saw as a root cutter without even intending it.
Turf cutter too...
