I'm gonna lay it out fellas.
In February PA Dan sent Steven a picture of a fully assembled and supposedly running 346XP that appeared to be in excellent condition. After a bit of back and forth, Dan priced it, and Steven paid him. Not long afterward, Dan realized that the saw was disassembled, not an assembled unit as he had presented it. Steven told him to send it, and all the parts to me. This was in February. In May....the saw did arrive. It was missing the wrist pin bearing, the bolts that hold the jug, the fuel lines from the primer bulb to carb, the bolts that hold the muffler brace, and the clutch cover.
Dan told us both that he was sending a clutch cover to Glock37 for powder, and when it was done, he would assemble it, and send it along with anything that was missing. Mike never got a clutch cover from Dan. Finally I got sorta upset with Dan and told him that he needed to make this right. To his credit, he got with Duke at Traverse Creek, and had him ship me some parts. I have everything to assemble the saw now.
When I said that Dan wasn't going to man up.....what I meant was that he wasn't going to post in this thread and own this mess. He's had a week....and I've asked him to post here several times. Now he has begun ignoring my text messages.
I suppose he went fishing today.
The worst part.....Woodpecker and I had a disagreement about this whole debacle, and he is no longer part of the moderation team. And....he probably doesn't consider me a friend any longer.
So....who actually gets the crappy end of the stick here. Brad and I seem to be the two with *s-word on our hands because of Dan's inability to do what he says he will do.
