I like the rail idea and will make up a set if I keep milling long beams. So far a ladder section has worked well enough, 16' and a 20' section easy to shim the center up to prevent any sag, this fall I cut a 21'6" beam out of the 32" X 76' pine I had dropped earlier in the spring. The tree was...

I was asked by a member on AS if I could help a porter on this site that was having a problem with a saw after porting and modding it. It was a saw I had done over and over dozens of them. I did cure his problem and stuck around for the entertainment value. I knew Randy for a long spell before...

I have spent many hundreds of dollars buying parts from Randy Duncan and had a good experience, shipped promptly and well packaged/padded for shipping. He is not the cheapest but he had rare parts I wanted,I buy once cry once but he or his site got me what I wanted in a very timely order.

I have never needed to check the tank capacity but when observing the fuel tank on a 046 orMS460 they project out to the left side about flush to the recoil cover while on a 044 the tank is recessed back more than a half inch,. When fitting a 046 tank to a 044 ,can be done and have done so the...

The fuel tank appears larger on the 046 and MS460 so that may make a difference on the fuel outlasting the oil supply

Was up biches, I see 24 pages of griping about site moderators and moderation, that will never fix this site. :uzi:

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.

Cool to look at, not so cool to run them in the woods 8-10 hour days, those saws are not light, close to 30 lbs barred, chained and full tanks of liquids.

A few more of em,

The paint is a bit brighter on this one

Looks complete,should be an easy resto, the 600 was the first year then the 610, all parts interchange between them.

There are times I just up and give them away, usually older models like the 028 and 026 saws plus many 025`s I give to young fellas to get them started into making a few bucks from cutting and selling firewood. Several of them actually moved up to running PRO after making a few bucks to buy an...

Stupidity is very costly as well as the alcohol thing, some are in such a rush they throw all sensibility out the window. I am at the boat launch most every weekend the water is not frozen hard. It would be a thick book to relate all the things I have seen at the boat launch. Pulling vehicles...
