First saw I ran was a stihl 026 in around 1994. My first saw I bought was a stihl 044 in 1996. The 044 still gives me goose bumps when I run it

Dad's Homelite Zip, circa 1960, now donated to an AS member.

I still have its replacement, a 1980-ish ProMac 655. He replaced the Mac with a Husky 55R & said "If you can fix it, keep it".

 

[Pablo26]

First ran was a little mini-mac top handle purchased by a landlord for my cabin in deep redwoods. A year later I bought my 026, after much debate vs. the husky 55.

My first saw was a c-52 Homedark that I purchased from a yard sale for 75 cents and it ran!!!! I was 14 years old No kidding.

I learned on my father's XL-12 when I was 12-13, It was probably at least 15 years old then. Now 26 years later my father still has the saw, and it still runs great.
The first saw I ever purchased was the merc/disstion last summer for $75.
All my other saws have been given to me in various states of disrepair,
the best being the nearly new Stihl 036QS that needed about $100 worth of parts. Idle was set to high and melted the brake ass. cover. While it was apart the previous owner lost a couple of parts. CSW

The first saw I ran was a Poulan. The first saw I ever bought, was a 440 EVL. The first new saw I ever bought, is my MS390.

It was back in about 1969, I believe, when my dad started phasing out his 090Gs, and replacing them with the venerable 051s. The 051s were state of the art back then, and nobody wanted to even look at any of the 090Gs that still resided in inventory. The company was selling off some really nice 090Gs, for $25.00 each, and I wanted one so bad I could taste it. But my dad had a foreman with an old, clunky Homelite 5-30N, with two 34-inch bars and chains, for sale for $5.00. So I caved in and bought that big old Homelite. I was 12 years old at the time. I bought a used 040 about a year later, also from the company, that had an 041 air cleaner cover. I used that saw for years, and made good money with it. But finally, it just shook itself to pieces, and in about 1976, I paid cash for a brand new 041 Farm Boss. I have the saw away about 10 years ago, and I wish now that I had not.

"No kidding" that you paid 75 cents for it or that you were 14?
