Got a husky in the garage now that's getting torn down to install new crank bearings and seals. Then its getting ported with lathe work also. Maybe just maybe I'll keep this 372.
:msp_biggrin: hope you feel better after surgery!! :msp_biggrin: home a echa- poula- domer rules!!!! ha ha ha ha!!!!!!Holy cow, the opposite thread sure did get popular. I wander if this one will. So can't we all get along? If you own a chainsaw your alright with me. Pick your own brand and I'll pick mine and no arguments.
Really I'm just really bored after my surgery and had to post something And by the way STIHL rules and the other brands too I guess.
hope yer knee heals good! my dad has to have exploritory surgery on his sometime soon, later cobey :msp_biggrin:Im in my fifth week of recovery after knee surgery, still have one more before i go back to work.

what is cad?
CAD= Chainsaw Acquisition Disease.
What is it?
When you finally get enough saws for what you need to cut but then you just keep getting more because it looks cool, you don't have that model, you don't have one that color, you heard that would outcut the models you have, it's a new model, it is being discontinued, it was a good deal, it was a bad deal but you felt sad and needed something to cheer you up, you need a saw to loan to your brother in law, you're getting even with your wife for buying another pair of shoes, you need a really big saw because you just never know when a storm will take out your neighbor's really big tree, etc etc....

Those saws were all used in chainsaw massacres and had to be destroyed by the authorities.
Today was way to nice a day to lay on the couch so I set up my chain grinder on the deck and stood charpening chains this afternoon. I just had to find something to do while off for six weeks. Didn't ask the doc if its ok but I was about to go stir crazy. Can't argue about chains or grinders can we?
The grinder works great. It's the oregon 511ax. I wander if the hydrualic assist model is worth the extra $100? The manual clamping gets old when you know there's a model that auto clamps when you pull the grinder down.

There's two different types of CAD. You own all Stihls so your type of CAD is not life threatening. Just be glad you don't have the life threatening Husky CAD. You would kill yourself after dealing with loose screws.
THANKS----I HAD BEENTOO EMBARRASSED EARLIER TO ASK.
IVE HAD THIS DISEASE FOR A LONG WHILE I was also ashamed to put all of the saws I own on my "edit signature" page;
Do my fellow 'AS' MEMBERS have CAD like myself?? :msp_thumbup: If so, we need to tell it all.
