My 14 year old son has been wanting to spend his money on a cell phone or other electronic device lately. That all changed when I let him run my 372 a week ago and he has since been asking me for a trip to the saw junk pile at our local dealer.
Playing the responsible dad I convinced him that a 357 or 359 would be a better Saw to learn with. Plenty of power and reasonably nimble as far as weight.
So we head to the “junk” pile and what do we find but this 99% complete 2159. It needs all the normal updates such as intake clamp and carb kit, but overall it’s a solid builder. Probably a better start than I’ve had on any saw I’ve brought back to life from that pile.
All parts are on order and I’ll get pics and update this thread as we go through it together, but he’ll be doing the work with me guiding him along the way.
He has already cleaned it up pretty good, we’ll be starting the tear down tomorrow evening.
