I love that old mag. Just wish I had more time for stuff like you are doing here.
Someday. Just acquire projects and once you can, go ahead and fix them. Sell some if necessary to fund new ones if you get a hankering for it.
I had to give up some of my projects, one reason was to get a more modern saw that I could get parts for easily... and the other was because I had trouble with building a 372. (remember, I sent cases to you for assembly?) I simply wasn't in my right mind at that time... there was a lot going on.
I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with the 372. Granted, I did not JMS the cylinder up or anything like that. More minor mistakes than major ones. Mainly stripping some bolt holes. I decided to just quit and get rid of it before I did really screw it up.
Had an itch to get my very first brand new saw. Parents said no, unless you get rid of some... so bye bye PM850's. (those went to a member on here, you'd know him)
Got my 372 XT... which even with me using it, still has stickers on the bottom. Super fussy with it. Always clean the clutch cover out when I change chains, and wipe it down with a shop towel when I take it into the barn.
And at that time, I had a lot of wood that needed to be cut. Not enough time to fix the other saws.
Sometimes, things just don't go the way we plan. I had intended to spend a lot of time R+D'ing the 850's to see if I could get anything out of them, but never got around to it. I see Chainsaw Jim has done some work to one and found it will keep right up with an 066/660 that is stock.
