I don't even own a 288, but HOORAY 288!

That powdercoat came out awesome!

And I can't help but notice how the 2xx saws seem to have alot less parts in general than 3xx saws. Nice simple designs.

And after reading this and the 272 thread you made me realize something and I feel like and idiot... I never knew you could grease the clutch bearings that way! LOL! I've always removed the clutch and applied a small amount of grease to the bearing. I've had a dozen crankshafts out, and even more clutches removed and it never dawned on me as to what the holes in the clutch bearing surface of the crankshaft were for! Learn something every day

Mike and I are working on different saws. I had to order a few smalls for the one I am rebuilding and am currently on vacation. It will probably be late next week before I get back to it.
