Thank you sir!...that’s the eBay special after a little deep cleaning. She photographs well but up close she’s a work saw.

Not a damn thing wrong with a saw that has some battle scars. I’d be proud to own it.

I LOVE how this thread stays alive, nice saws gents...HOORAY 288!

In the process. They’re at Dustin’s. Cases are getting powder. It’ll basically be a new saw when all is said and done.

Oh boy Oh boy! Can’t wait to see it!!!!!!

My 281 is now a 288.View attachment 120222

What top end did you put on it?

 

[ranchdadmike]

Wow it cleaned up real nice. That was a good score for sure. How does it run?

Runs really well. Needs Pto side seal..she dies when you roll her on the port side. Other than that she’ll idle all day and runs great

Me either. That’ll be the prettiest saw I own by far lol

It's a KS non decompression that Rattler did some grinding on quite awhile ago.

Man, my 288 is running a BG deleted KS non-decomp cylinder too.. I'm really not sure cutting the base and squish on that would be the best idea unless I hoard a stash of recoil parts!! Lol! I haven't run a compression check on it yet, but let me tell ya, it's got a bad attitude already when it comes to pulling that rope!
