this one wears a 32" bar and is my big buckn saw

but yes the 044 is my crown jewel. i like it alot. so much so i just orderd parts for my 440 project.
 
My 880 hands down. I'm real proud of that saw, not many folks around here have a saw this size and it is a blast to run :chainsawguy:

I had this oak milled into floor boards for my house, I cant wait to get it done and see how it turns out. I dont think I've ever seen a plank floor with 20" wide oak planks that I can recall. This tree was the one that pushed me over the edge, I'd always wanted a 88 but couldnt justify it, this gave me a good excuse
 
Lancaster Four-40, saved it from being crushed by the trash truck. Literally grabbed it out of the hopper. Got me started on fixing vintage saws.

one day.........................

my old man had an echo 610evl. one of the few fond memories..........
pictured below is some 610evl and some deere 66sv all mixed up.
all those cylinders laying next to it are bad.

one day i'll acquire the P/Cs and then it will truly be the crown jewel!

I have a number of saws I am proud to own and several that I really like to use, but I think the crown jewels would have to be a pair of McCulloch SP125C's.

Both saws are very dependable starters, run very well even with the fixed (HS) jet carburetors, and are a real eye opener to folks that don't have a good grasp of chain saw history.

Thanks Tim for a great idea!

ummm probably my echo 280e cause it is awesome:dunno:
I would say my 066 red light, but I guess thats not all that special is it....
 
My crown jewel,, or the one I would grab if the house was burning is the 090G
yes, it does stay in the house..

Although its not an original contra GS 137 its close enough for me and My best project to date.
