Here's my pawn shop 500.
I'm wondering if it started out life as a Home Depot rental saw?
It's clean and runs.
Haven't checked health on it yet.
Gotta be the most restrictive outlet I've seen on a saw!
Ouch. That looks terrible

Al are you going to paint some of the trim white so it "fits in" with the Stihls?

I'm totally curious to see how this will stack up with your recent 026 builds

Cool read. Thanks to all of you guys. Nice to see something different

Anyone think of a reason I couldn't put a 3/8 rim on this and just use one of my d176 bars?
The upper adjuster hole lines up with the oiler just fine and it's opened up to the bar groove, so should oil just fine.

.325 would cut faster but 3/8 will stay sharper longer.
