So you own an Easy Start saw. Do you like having it on your 250?

Replaced it with Farmertec starter.

The Stihl attendant modifications to make the Easy Start work on 45cc are driving me nuts.
Special coil, flywheel, chassis/crankcase, purge bulb and such that are different from a ‘normal’ MS250.

Before construction a huge amount of sawdust will be made, btdt with some 80+ year old 2x10 white oak used as floor support of 2x6 t&g pine in St Louis building

There is some really nice timber in some of those old buildings!

Damn. All that for a starter that makes no sense on a small saw. Don’t know what Stihl was thinking when they designed that.

You should see an 036 quick stop. Makes you almost want to buy a first class ticket to Germany to stab a kraut. Special clutch side case half, oiler, clutch, tanks, extra cable crap and clutch drum. And everything is NLA for it now.

Those features just seem over engineered for their purpose. Why exactly does Stihl put those on their saws?

$$$$$$$$

Extra money for inexperienced users buying Stihl saws.

So when you panic and throw the saw straight up in the air the chain won't be spinning when it lands on you I guess.

Got the PTO pulley in today.
Now all I need is the mule and the belly mower.

Dry enough to fix terraces after the mess last year! Wheat is looking dapper. Lot of freeze damage!

The China made MS381 found a new home. [emoji106].

Took a MS290 in partial trade. Good runner. 10 yo saw.

Fellow first wanted the Farmertec MS460. But, it bit his pull start hand. Bet his fingers are numb tomorrow.

That thing is mean SOB.

That has a QD bushing. You can go larger or smaller by changing the pulley. You got the tapered bushing. [emoji108]

Those two extra holes in the pulley hub are for pushing it off the tapered bushing.

Anybody know of a belly mower and the bottom dual pulley assembly? Some call it the mule, but it changes the belt direction from the PTO to the mower deck.

Just get a real mule and tether him out! Saves time and gas!

Same fellow who carried off the MS381, left a Husky 266se for me to get running.

Pumps 145. [emoji1696] Filthy old devil. Tube type chain brake handle.

Maybe, but this tractor is 72 years old.
I've not seen any 72 year old mules.

Good morning, Gentlemen.
Heading to the Missouri capitol today to express our disgust with the shutdown.
It's time to open Missouri up.
Those who want to stay home are welcome, but we who are healthy are done with being told where we can and can't go.
