Thanks, the RA was the first chainsaw I got to run when very young and I always wanted a nice one for my collection. Most of them I found were used hard and put away wet,kind of rough and beat up. I knew of the one pictured above, it was a local low hour saw and had been stored indoors all its...

Another one of mine, the RA is the saw model the year before the 600 series started

No thanks I have been in those woods and on the mountain sides, not for me.
