Being I was never paid for this craftsman 3.3 54cc chrome bore since last fall I sold to a guy.

Decided go ahead fill tanks and cut some with it.

Tuning etc.

Even little poulans pull 20" with no problems.
Amazing dont take a $700 saw to do so.

Being honest I prefer trigger rear handle set up lot better then I do husky 346.
I felt same way with poulan 380 3750 compared to the husky 262 too.
Just more comfortable to use to me.

Cool. I've got a Remington 55cc on the floor now. I can pull the rope all the way out without the saw even moving. I haven't looked under the covers yet, could be just no spark plug. Think I'm going to let it be the Last Place Prize at the next saw race.

Ya those are crap saws cant even find parts for.

Folks should have bought 2 of them when they got them. 1 for parts.

Last of the old efree. Fresh ready to go.

Calling it good to go. I'm sure folks can do better then my redneck ways but it works easy peasy no leaks.

Guy posted this in my group with 16" dry. Wish he filled both tanks up too.

I haven't read all 2,488 posts, but in the 70s I had a Homelite Super EZ. I really liked that saw. Light and powerful back in the day.

The saw I always wanted to own . I just love the sound of a twin cylinder 2 stroke.

3 friends I know own many. They come in 100cc and 110cc

One of the ones in that video is Brads. He lives southwest of me.

One I ran many many years ago. From friend north of me.

Damn, I wish all cuts with a saw could be made on a stand!

This week we cut up fallen trees wrapped in vines & stickers. Yellow jackets buzzing around, and of course 90 degrees and 90% humidity.

Thought this one was gonna make me into a premature death statistic.

They go from this to a stand for working testing saws after you work on them for others.

Any good shop should have a test demo area IMHO.

My local echo stihl dealer does too. The one out of 6 of them I will use. I drive buy the others to get to him

Almost all chainsaw gtg's and real racing events have stand too. You learn over time.

When I used to race in KY at this kids Dad's race. His dad was KY state champion.
RIP his dad died from cancer.

Me and his dad in one pic.

This is him then.

This him now 19 and following in dads footsteps. He has a Helsel built saw like I did and can run it too.

I just looked that up and figured it was no.

Everything online is no that isnt how chaps work to protect.

It pulls fibers into the chain and clutch to stop the saws.

This company will sell ya some snake chaps though. Are Chainsaw Chaps Snake Proof? What You Need to Know

Anytime I see a tree that has been down a while grown up in weeds around it, I start thinking some snake is going to be somewhere in that kind of a mess.

I always watch stepping across a log too.

Even if no weeds or growth around in the woods.

Dad had 14-17 dropped up hill behind his place. The firewood trees going to my nephew.

The nice wood type trees going to be milled into lumber.

Heck I wish I could get this poplar here just for test and tuning in. 3.5hrs south at area my other 2 places are.

Took all three saws to a friends today to drop a big branch and drag a hung trunk so we could buck it.
The 490 with the new exhaust, some tuning and a 20" bar worked great, doesn't bog like it used to.

The 620p bucked up the bigger trunk pretty quickly.
The M18 pole saw to get up in another tree to trim branches, even used the extension and it worked great, but I can see the extension does bend a bit.

Brought the pulley and bull rope, worked great to drag the tree down.

Hey, thanks for setting up the deal with me on the Joncutter 2211 saw. I look forward to seeing it soon and testing it out in my slab wood.

To you other folks, he's quick and easy to deal with and answers questions quickly.
