Thanks. I'm sure it's been that way since day one. My dad never had it serviced. View attachment 7029 View attachment 7030 Serial number starts with a 2, built in the US? Must have been a rough day for that worker. Hard to believe I never noticed it.

That must be a special run for under cuts

Contra lightning

I like running that without the governor. Good strong saw

New member here,been cutting for a while,but have just begun to explore vintage and modded saws.
I guess I'm a Stihl guy because when I went to buy my first saw,I liked the orange and white,rather than the all orange Husky's.
Stupid reason I guess!
Anyway,currently running two 10mm 044's, a 460 magnum(undergoing muffler mod) a 362cm, an FS560 and an FS550 clearing saw.
Got a 181C really cheap the other day and am wondering how I'll use it,but it was so cute,i couldnt resist.

I did it to this one

And it's fun watching the look on people faces when your running it and tell them it's a MS 290

Nice saw I had one years ago

another. 038s w/ custom paint by po. $30. needed fuel line, metering diaphragm.

View attachment 6619

I've got an ugly 039 so I just painted it camo colors. Figured no one would be likely to steal it and it was ugly enough it wouldn't have sold well. So it's just part of my line up.

No matter what time you're on, someone else will be on the forum. We're all on different schedules and sleep cycles.
