[HEAVY FUEL]

Your 051 against my 075, bet yours wins.

I think wdchucks wild thing could beat his 075.

 

[Steve NW WI]

We'll be moving beginning of March till mid April...........Cant wait till its all done ..........



Might be looking into a GTG down here in late summer .........Its going too be another busy year.....

Holy Crap Ultra, what are you using to move? Saddlebags on the bike? Trunk on a Pontiac Fiero? Your pants pockets?

Maybe we could send Heavy Fuel over with the big truck to speed up the process :help:

If it is still a little warm when you have it, Jon and I can ride the cycles on over.
I'll throw the saws in the trailer!

Almost didn't post,found this on page 4 halfway down.Just wanted to say that it sounds like there will be alot of 7900's at grampatractor's GTG and I can't wait to check them all out.There will be one 7900 I will check out tomorrow and that is thorcw's.We are going to have a little mini GTG,test out the saws and he will be helping me take down some big red oaks that I will try to get a vid of.

 

[isaaccarlson]

I think I sent a PM to grandpatractor but...in case I didn't.

 

[Curlycherry1]

If I did not get scammed on Fleabay I will have a MS441 to bring to the festivities along with my other saws. It should be here in a week or so. Brandy-new!

[Steve NW WI]

Start planning this out, Ultra. Grantsburg is ON THE WAY to Brainerd. Hwy 70 outta Grantsburg to I 35, north to Hinckley for a night's stay at the casino, then up to Moose Lake and hang a left. Good 2 lane at least as far as Aitkin, can't say for sure past there, but go to a cabin up there a few times a year.

Get some work done, and some playtime too!

BTW you aughta see the directions I give to the blue platers that stop and ask how to get to the landing on the lake, 1 mile drive turns into a tour of the township, but if they follow directions, they'll get there eventually

We need results of the Great MN 50cc Challenge

Thor stopped by my place today to help me cut some red oak.I made a vid of Thor taking down a big oak with his new to him 7900 Dolmar with 28" bar 7 pin sprocket and full chisel chain .050,will post if anyone wants to see it.We cut alot of cookies and did alot of racing,mainly between his 7900 and my ported 371XP getting them set just right for the GTG.It seems my ported 371 with 28" 8 pin sprocket and full skip chisel chain .050 just smokes a 7900 Dolmar(thanks Brad)And it seems that Thor's 7900 is faster with a 7 pin sprocket than with an 8 pin:monkey:Anyway we had a great time playing and working and talking chain saws and stuff and the weather was perfect(for this time of year).Thanks for stoping over Thor and will see you and your saws again March 13.Heres a couple pics,I guess Thor called the pics with the saws we used in the log the money shot.The other ones are right after we got the top done that landed on my brush pile(perfect drop Thor)

The 5100 ran great with 16" bar and 3/8x.050 30RC chain on it.A little jumpie on a couple limbs but overall very good.I set it to 14,200-14,300 WOT RPM's and took out the spark screen.I let Thor use it for awhile and he liked it alot.It didn't come close to the speed my ported 346 has when it comes to the small stuff.It did seem to have alot of power and torque in the bigger wood.

 

[wi50]

we just put togather a saturday night special Stihl 066 from some substandard parts and a few hours with the dremel, lathe and mill. Funky port timeing but it'll walk all over my 066 mag and 660. Wth a little luck it'll hang togather long enough to make it to the GTG. I'm hopeing to get a few hours to cut the top of the cyl off and make a billet cylinder head to get the comp. up a bit. and of course a pipe, a really loud pipe.
