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.
