Not many of them that size being dropped any more, they have to be dead, dying or broken to get a permit to drop one now, at least in NA.

Yep them big ones is kinda tough fer me now , the monkey 066/660 is just to much , can't start it . 2 - 3 tries is all I can do with it . Just plain SUCKS !
Once they get the comp up around 200 lbs on those bigger saws they really need a comp release, problem is on those saws the comp release is set for too low of pressure and just pulling the saw over will cause the comp valve to close even if the saw does not start, it needs to be reset before every pull over and will close on the first roll over of the piston making it really difficult to get a good long pull on the recoil. Drop start is the only way I can start them, need to just get the piston past TDC, then with the handle all the way down to the recoil cover give it a mighty yank.

Nothing official I've seen yet anywhere in Maine but I heard they've been reported near the MA/NH border and south of Lake Winnepesaukee. Probably just a matter of time I'm afraid.
Managed to get that 028 all back together and cleaned up . Chain adjuster seems it must be missing something , needs something to hold it up from going to low in the notch , won't catch the bar to tighten the chain . Found my media cat disc , but can't tell what is pose to be in there if anything ?
Media cat was up in this pile of **** ! Real wonder I found it ! LOL
Does it look like this?
Sure do , just like that .Does it look like this?
There might be a guide piece, think its about square with a hole straight through it for the screw to pass through. Have to go look.
I pigged out on pizza ! LOL Ate 3/4 of a large one myself ! No wonder I look like I ate a basketball ! 
Hey Dan, remember that rattle in the saw this evening, wonder what it was?
Gotta come up with something to help it ? I got no parts from any 028s here any more that I know of ? LOL
Oh **** ! LOLHey Dan, remember that rattle in the saw this evening, wonder what it was?
Yup, there should be a guide piece with those other two parts, it fits in the channel and supports the adjuster screw.
Funny thing is, that saw still ran fine but had a rattle in it....LOL
I can send ya one, may take a week or so to get there.
