Wanted to share my new addition to the shop

[jackel440]

Ok I have been asking about finding a bigger saw to buck logs with.From either ebag or on here.I found a nice saw a member had listed, and planned to buy it.Until I heard I was going to be off work for a week or 2.So I had to pass on that saw.
Well my buddy tells me that he just bought a new saw, and that I could have his old one.
So now I am the proud owner of a Stihl 038 Magnum with a 25" bar.came with 3 fresh chains and 2 new in the boxes.:chainsawguy:
I am quite happy with how things worked out for me.The good lord always seems to help me out with good friends.
I cleaned her all up the other night.Looks real clean.
I am wanting to put a bigger set of felling dogs on her.As she only has the small one on the inside of the bar.I have been told the 044-046 dogs will bolt on,but I am not sure.
I think a set of those big west coast dogs would look cool.
ThanksView attachment 167832View attachment 167833

Good find.

I'd be pissed if I gave a guy a saw and he was thankful to the "lord" for it. :jester:

Very nice. I Like my 038 mag II almost as much as my 044's. Its about a pound heavier and not much slower. 72cc vs. 70cc. Not bad for an oldie.
