Just another junk chainsaw

[LD1]

I have been meaning to try to spend more time over here w/ this crowd.
You guys got the right stuff & the goods I say!

Feel free to spend all the time you want over here. Chainsaws are FUN:thumbsup:

I have been wantin' a large"r" chainsaw. My Stihl dealer is tryin' to put
me into a MS362-20 , I noticed a note on the quote that said "Flush".
I assume that is a handle, well, lack of a handle on the side

Yes, a flush is just a saw that dont have a handle along the chain/clutch cover side. A "flush" is pretty popular in the easy. Out west though, the full wraps are more popular. But as to the saw, Stihl is good, but I dont own andy and dont plan to. IMO, for the $$$ spent, you can get a better performing and just as reliable saw of a different make. (HINT: look at my sig for what brand you think I am taking about)

In all seriousness, if you get ready to get serious about a saw, new or used, PLEASE consult us first. We REALLY LOVE spending other peoples money:laughing:

Hey is there anything wrong w/ carrying my 009 like pictured below?

Nothing wrong with that.

(I Hope I don't hijak the OP's thread w/ my junk ramblin's!

Dont worry about that. It dont matter wether you hijack or start a new thread, just so long as we are talking about saws its all good. And I am sure he (xyz123) will feel the same way.:thumbsup: The chainsaw forum on TBN here dont see too much action. But its all good. If you do make a post in this section though, and dont get a response immediately like the other threads, thats just the nature of the beast. Be patient, we will eventually respond.:thumbsup:

Another new project to set on the shelf till I get to it.

I started to ask a Q then realized I didn't LOOK first and try to find the answer myself, so I did and ended up finding a nice list for Stihl. An 009L
is a tad bit more powerful than an 009

THE LIST

Here is another webside if you havent heard of it already. It has about EVERY make of saw known to man. About the only thing lacking in the saw specs is some of the newer model stuff. Chain Saw Collectors Corner - Gasoline Chain Saws by Manufacturer

Cool thanks for the website link LDI they didn't show my Husky 338XPT top handle saw but they did have my big Husky 2100.

No problem.

But yea, like I said, they dont list much newer stuff. In fact, they dont list hardly ANY of the newer "3" series huskys, let alone the really new stuff like the "5" series.

But it is an EXCELLENT site for older saws. Say...1995 and older

 

[Artisan]

Ditto on the link! :thumbsup:

That's Magnus site from Sweden. Great site for older saw info. If you have older saws please put them in the library there.

Your dolmars need to be in there LD1

I think Mike Acres still has the Collector's Corner, Magnus' site is here:

Chainsaw Collectors

Great site and a good bunch of guys, I used to spend a lot of time there.

That is a FLAT OUT INCORRECT statement.

And its Stihl BTW.

Nothing at ALL wrong with newer huskys or newer stihls. But there are PRO grade saws and homeowner grade saws of BOTH brands. The PRO grade saws of BOTH brands (IE: 361/361, 441, 576xp, 385xp ETC ETC) ARE ALL TOP NOTCH saws.

LD1 there was a 120 down your way cheap on CL, look new in pics. Also a 115i in ak-cant area.

I need to know!

PM if you please...

What are you guys doing, I mean there is method to my madness,
not gathering info for the advertising police or NOTING like that.
May I ask what you guys primary goals are? Is this a business, for fun
or other?
Who is rebuilding ChainSaws primarly for a business and who does
it for the love of it?

Will you guy sell me a saw, or if I found a saw can you rebuild it
for me. My questions basically revolve around that, saw(s) for me.

I have WAY too much on my plate to start to rebuild saws
but I want/need from time to time and I hate to pay long dollar. I saw some saws
on CL today as well and I was thinking about maybe one of you guys
and maybe buying something and shippin' it off to 'someone to
fix er up, add performance parts, give it some luv and do it right!

I would so much rather deal w. someone that loves what their
doing instead of some kid or disgruntled employee who hates what
they do, only putting in time.

Didnt see the 120 I searched "chainsaw", "chain saw", "dolmar", "120", and seen nothing. Do you got a link for me????

That 115i looks really enticing too. Almost worth the drive for the price. Those in good shape usually have no trouble getting to $250 on ebay.

But I am more interested in that 120. I cannot find it anywhere???? Is it a SI or Super??? Wheres it at??

Artisan I consider myself a hobbyist.

I sometimes have up to 30 runners on the shelves. Right now it is a little lower because I know I have moved about 10 here lately. Most times a good used rebuilt or gone through saw brings about half of what a new one is in same similar model.

I rebuild saws from bare split crankshafts cases and up when needed.

I buy sale and trade. When there is something for sale for the right price on CL and I pass I pass the info onto others I know are interested in those makes like LD1 and dolmars.

Just like you wanting a ms362, here the dealer wants $709 and since you are wanting stihl only. I would get a used 036, 360 361 before I did that for half. JMO.

I know one of my friends with the 6000i was thinking about driving down to look at it.

I will look for link.

 

[xyz123]

120 was gone and it was 20 cheaper then this 115i Sacs Domar chainsaw

I'll have to see if my friend got that 120.

AHHH, so you have a friend down in my area now sniping all my dolmars

Do you remember if it was an S. or SI. If it was just the standard smaller 120, NON-super or NON-si, I would have had little interest in it for anything over $100.

The 116si interest me up to ~$200, and the 120si's just a tad more. Just depending on condition. That 115i looks really good for $150 too. If it runs alright and isnt scored up, I'd pay that in a heartbeat.

I am really interested in what the scoop is on this 6000i you speak of?? Is your friend selling It??? You trying to buy it?? Cause YA KNOW I would be interested

 

[xyz123]

The 6000i is the one I posted pics of. I did here too didnt I?

6000i Not for sale. It was a one owner traded in at the dealers for a 6400. Friend bought it from the dealer. To think I missed that one on the shelves in the trade ins and would have bought it myself. We use the same dolmar dealer.
