Hi

[treevet]

Hi, I am new. Just got my 088 back from Randy Evans, Mastermind Work Saws, ported and modded and love it. Had all my saws stolen a little over a year ago which I think totaled 16 saws, but they missed the 088.

The good news is I took the meager insurance $ and started an awesome collection that I consider nearly perfect for my small tree biz with the final piece being a 362 tc. I have a Snelling ported 661 and couple of ported Dolmars by him....2 150's/ 2 200's/ 1 241/ 1 262/ 1 461/ 1 661/ 1 088 ported and the 420 Dolmar and 5105 both Snelling ported and on Wed. the 362. I got the addiction bad.

but all the others have some basic mods except the 2 climbing ms200's that don't need a mod. Saw the forum addr. on Randy's sticker and thought I'd tune in for a bit and see what's up. Cheers.

Just arrived today. I absolutely love it. Took it to my lot and ran it thru some year and half hardened locust that was nearby (vid).

How do you get the wood chips off you're socks and out of the shoes.
I was blocking a cedar and had low top tennis shoes on all my clothes smelled like cedar after washing and drying the socks lol
Great running saw you got there.

 

[Cigmaker]

Welcome @treevet glad you joined up and a very impressive collection you have.

 

[Nitroman]

Yup, he can fiddle with a saw to make it run pretty well.

Welcome.

 

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

Welcome to the sight! You have one Hell of a saw to start with!

Thanks...I just throw them in the wash and most comes out. What are sticking in my skin I pull out. I wear shorts from around early May to the end of Oct. for the 47 years in biz now. Garner a few scrapes and scars but more comfortable in big heat and moving around without pants sticking to knees. I wouldn't mind smelling like cedar, love that smell.

Glad to see you here Dave.

Yeah.......yours is finished. I need to test drive it though.

I had to get oil pump parts for both of those saws......my dealer sent the wrong stuff three times. lol

Thanks, will do Randy. Went from the box, slapped on bar and chain, ran a file around and down to lot and wood. I am very happy with the power gain. Wish you weren't so busy or I'd be sending one after the other for porting that don't have it. Is there a quicker turn around for a basic mod or do they just go to the end of the line.?

I Know.

Do You think Mrs. Glenda could get it started tomorrow so you can get it tested?

I've got a Mammoth Oak to take down, & the thoughts of using that 090 give me the cold chills.

If you'ins is in a hurry, Don't just send it.

Exactly.

If you are in a hurry......Carl Miller is very good at doing the same thing I do.

With losing Jon, injuries, cattle, and hay......I might have to give up doing saws and just find a real job.
