I know who’s bench that is. Somebody getting some venom in their 254? Lucky bee word...lol!

Got my muffler bolts, heat shield and bar all in the same day. Happy birthday too me! It’s officially done and on the runner shelf. Hopefully I can put it through some wood soon. Thanks again to all that helped me out with Parts. It will be pretty sometime in the future, but I think it cleaned up nice for the time being.

Good on ya. Hell of a nice thing to do

He is getting a little age on him, slinging a 272 around isn't so much fun anymore. I built him a 346 and he loves it but I wanted him to have a nice light saw that would pull a 20" bar with authority.

The 2-giggity-4 fits the bill nicely. Looking forward to putting mine to work, even though it’s stock for the time being.

Yup I think we did...lol! I usually only have it on my bench for deer processing but I’ve grown to like it on there. Makes clean up a lot easier

Josh, we gotta do something about that starter. Gonna send you a decal.

Thanks Bob! I was just going to wait on pretty stuff til I got my 262 running, but since my arm has been twisted...much appreciated thank you.

 

[Spike60]

Glad to help. I got a thing with the decals. Doctor says there's nothing they can do for me.

I'll send it out Saturday. Playing hooky today. Walt and I are going to visit a couple of old shops that began as McCulloch/Homelite dealers years ago. (I think one started in 1947).

Piles of goodies and plenty of history in these shops and I think we'll both be coming home with some interesting projects. Bringing the video camera of course.

@XP_Slinger is that an 18 inch bar?
How does it balance?
Trying to figure out what to put on my 262 18 or 20 lightweight leaning towards the 18

You didn’t ask me..but I’ve been running a 18” light on my 262 for the last 9 months or so and balance/handling is way better than the power match 20 I used to have on it.

Yes sir it’s an 18”. Though I haven’t cut with it yet the balance feels great in the hand. I really don’t think I’ll be wanting a lightened bar for my 254.

Looking forward to the rundown of that field trip. I have a twitch for decals and plastics too, I was just denying my inner OCD by making myself wait. Thanks 100 times over Bob.

I'm going to get an 18 for my 262. I'm kinda a sucker for those Windsor/Carlton speed tip bars!
