Hey Steve--I see you all over the place around here!

Yes he is. 3-4 one sentence post in a row on all threads too. He's definitely working OT to get his post count up into the stratosphere.

They are perty fun! Picked up a pro Mac 55 the other day. I’ve just narrowed it to Stihl and McCulloch. I Jeep saying I’m going to sell my John Deere 70v but just haven’t done it yet.

Like probably 75 percent of site posters, sitting on a gold mine.. My daily driver is a pro 55.. Starts every time..i tell my wife, SHE's sitting on a gold mine.. And THEN,let the games begin

Yeah, yeah, wait until you get to try a Dolmar 7900/7910, won't be a Stihl and Mac guy anymore. They are pretty hard to beat in terms of power and comfort.

I also have an SP-70 and PM700 that need some love

I am at some point going to have to farm out carb work. Between arthritis, and early Parkinson's, and I won't wear my glasses.I just can't get those little screws in those little holes anymore. Somebody have some crackers to go with my whine?

No I just pour out more whine lol. I just don’t have the time to deal with mine much anymore. Hard enough with 2 kiddos but added on another and time flew out the window. Been thinking about letting go of more and more

I concur on the shakes, I get them bad sometimes and them little screws can be activating.

That's a 1050.. One of my pawn shop finds.. $10 and out the door. Took bar & chain off on of my C series .. Might be a super.. I don't DRAG it out much. But every once in a while to rotate fuel
