That's cool, that's what I was thinking. I haven't ever heard that there was anything to them in regards to powa' so I figured I might get a little razzing, but sometimes that's how you learn, besides I give it out enough I better be able to take it
.That's cool, so the early 046 were the original magnums and had the DP covers, entering that into my data banks(should be there for a night or two lol). There are so many things like that and some are meaningless while others do have meaning. On the husky side of things there are many things that seem to coincide with changes like that but many have nothing to do wit them. An example is the early 365 was an open port saw, then they got a closed port design, but most associate the 365 special as being when they went to the closed port design when in actuality it was before the 365 special that the change happened. If you get an all original 365 special it will have a closed port 48mm cylinder(as far as I know, seems there is always exceptions to the rules) and it will also have a chain tensioner in the clutch cover which is preferred by most, but doesn't noodle as well as the front tensioner does.
I've heard on the newer stihl backpack blowers that the you want the one that says magnum as that was when/or after they had made improvements to them(valves were better, IIRC).
Thanks for the answer.

I start at the edges on big stuff the work my way across. On 8-10" stuff I find a shot right down the middle will get it done most times.
I picked up a 044 Pro a while back...lol!
Oh man, those are rare!I picked up a 044 Pro a while back...lol!
Razzing was not my intent so my apologies if it came off that way. I was just clowning around so please don’t take it as disrespect.That's cool, that's what I was thinking.

From my understanding magnum is just a sticker whereas super denotes a larger engine. However super hasn’t been used for quite a while. I have run across a couple supers in the old flat top saws.
Now the 241 ryobi is a different story. It’s not a magnum or a super but it sure cuts a lot of wood!

If you put a "ROCK KRAWLER" sticker on a jeep it makes it better also. Even if it's a 4 door. With stock everything. With road tires.
No offense taken at all, maybe that word is a little stronger there than here, I use it as something friends do with one another. I'm all good
.Right on about the supers, that's why I was asking. I didn't know if there was a secret sticker model stihl I needed to own
. On the husky 55's they had a closed port cylinder on the ones that just said 55, but the 55 ranchers where open port so sometimes a little labeling can let you in on something, other times it fools you into thinking it's better than the previous model but it's not
.No doubt about that, those are also rare
.
I had 300 miles of driving to do yesterday and wasn’t about to let a blown front driveshaft hamper my plans. I cut the remaining boot with my jack knife and threw the bass turd in the box. Was able to clean my hands with hand sanitizer and used the inside of a pair of pants as a rag. Was back on my way in about ten minutes.
So now I have a 3x4 till I can put a new one in.

If you put zero stickers on a jeep. Even a four door and know what your doing you can make 80% of the guys with big tires and lockers look stupid. It's more about the driver and spotter in the rocks then the rig that's hauling them. Now a well built rig with a good driver and spotter is something I'll stop to watch anytime.

Reminds me of a Jeep I saw in a parking lot a few months ago. Besides it being remarkably clean, I thought that perhaps it was recently washed for a show or Jeep get together. It looked pretty mean, lift kit, big ol' knobby off-road tires, bar lighting, snorkel, you name it. Walked around front to get another look, kneeled down and craned my neck to peer below the bumper and noticed... No front differential!
For a Barbie Jeep it looked cool, but it was all bark and no bite, ha ha ha
I went to Walmart last week and bought myself something. They had Federal 150 grain 30-30 on sale for $9.97 a box, with a $5 rebate from Federal, on up to 10 boxes. That was $5 for each box. So, got 10 boxes for $4.97 a box. The rebate is good through December 31st. Don't know how long the sale lasts.
The real question is will you be back tomorrow lol.
I think I need a good spotter when I'm out cutting
.All joking aside with all the backing off semi's I've done you find out real quick how important a good spotter is. In downtown Chicago there is a building with docks that is very old and also quite dark, it never fails that they want you to back into the last dock and you have to back in blind(on your left side at least that's the blind side here in the states
), and it's very tight because it was not built for 48' trailers, but probably 40'. They have a guy who works the docks who will get in the running board of your truck and he will tell you if you trust me and follow my orders exactly I'll get you in first try, but don't look at anything but me. If you knew what was good for you you did whatever he said and you were in the dock in no time, it was pretty cool as it would have taken me many times getting in and out of the truck to see where I was at and then pulling forward because I wasn't going to make it without hitting something.I need a spotter like that when cutting

I respond in line so folks know who I'm speaking to, although sometimes it does apply to everyone.
I don't shop Wally World myself or support any Chinese companies when I can avoid it, I'm glad we have options here.
