New member here, great forum!

[weeks auto]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I live in central Iowa and burn wood for 90%+of our heat, really got into saws a few years ago when the throw away homelite wouldn't cut it for firewood duty any more. After putting a new cylinder on my dads 039 after a tree fell on it I was hooked on fixing discarded Stihls. For the past year I have stepped up my Stihl hoarding and now have:
039 with 16" bar
MS290 with 18"
036 Pro with 25"
036 Pro BLOWN up with 20"
034 AV with 20"
076av with 41" and 30" GB Milling setup
TS460

I got into Chainsaw milling this year and love the 076 av. I like Milling because it gives me something to do with a chainsaw when it is way to hot for firewood collecting.

This forum has really helped answer questions and has added to my already growing CAD. Thanks
Here are some pics of my saws.

I didn't mean to cut that short, was in a poker hand that I had a lot of fake money into. lol You will find a lot of great people and knowledge on here.

Welcome to the forum @weeks auto Some of the best people I know are on this forum -- great bunch of guys with a ton of knowledge!
You are way ahead of me with saw tinkering that's quite a bunch on your list already.
If there are any GTG's (Get togethers) in your area I strongly recommend attending one! It's great to surround yourself with a bunch of folks who suffer from the same disease.

Cheers.

[Brian Carlson]

Sending a big high five from Kentucky. Keep on fixing them oldie but goodie saws. Watch out, it tends to get into your blood.

 

[MustangMike]

You will soon have an addiction known as CAD - Chainsaw Addiction Disorder!

Don't worry, were all a bunch of sub cultural deviants, so it is normal here, you will feel right at home.

Then comes muffler mods, base gasket delete, timing advance and porting ... you'll love it! (followed by argument over which air filter is best)!
