[Chevy4thewin]

What was the first chainsaw you ran/owned/purchased? This should be a fun thread opcorn:

The first chainsaw i owned was given to my but my gramps, a little homelite XLII which i still have. First saw I purchased was my MS440 Mag.

 

[BIGBORE577]

First ever ran was a Clinton D-35. First purchased new was a Stihl MS440.

Good choice. Can't go wrong with the 440!

First I ran was an old allis chalmers that weighed 100lbs and some old mac my dad had.
first I owned was a Husky 51

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

Ran either a Poulan model 25 or a Homelite XL my dad had both and used them when we cut slabwood to heat our house growing up in the 80's.

The first saw I bought with my own money was a Stihl 044.

 

[Poley4]

First saw I bought new was a Pioneer P-10. That was back in 1978 I believe. It was a good little saw and I still have it, although it hasn't run in several years.

 

[Nailgunner]

Mine was a McCulloch thing, MAC-10 or similar. It died ages ago so I can't remember. Homelite SUper XL auto next. Still wondering if I could bring it back to life. Would be nice to do that. hmm.

1st saw for me was a PowerMac 310 back in the early 80's. Still runs. It sat outside under a junky carport for years. Got snowed on a few times sitting there. Got it out a while back and went to dump the gas out and wow! It looked as thick as honey. Believe it or not.....put new gas in it and it starts and runs.

First saw I ever ran was a Mac 610. I purchased an Echo 500, owned it briefly, then in 1980 purchased my Husqvarna 480CD. The 480 still runs as good as the day it was purchased.....Cliff

[blsnelling]

Stihl 039 bought new and was my only saw for probably 15 years. I used it to cut lots of firewood during those years. I never had one problem or complaint with it......until I came here. Then all of a sudden it wasn't good enough
