ok who would trade a 025 for this 041?

[Jughead]

the 025 i have is in decent shape and is a good runner.guy sent me a picture.its a 041 farmboss and looks like a pretty good saw.

 

[nnero]

Sure why not. I like the 041s

 

[sld961]

I wouldn't. Around here, I'd have an easier time selling an 025 than an 041. Not many people are looking to buy old heavy saws. If you like the 041, then sure, but I'm not fond of them, so I wouldn't.

Seriously thinking about it.an old friend of mine is needing a smaller saw.the 025 is the biggest small saw i have to trade on right now.what 041's i've worked on i have liked but they were the 72cc supers.apparently this ones the 61cc version.

ok done the deal today.the kicker is the 025 started first pull.the 041 started first pull too. we both looked at each other and said wtf!

 

[cus_deluxe]

i'd have done the same thing. should be a fun saw to play with, chainbrake and everything!

 

[Jughead]

ill play with it a bit abd go 72cc on its ass.lol

Good saw no doubt. I had 3 one older one new and a super. Cut for a few years about 10 cords a year. The ignitions are known to go bad. I have a few electric set ups left if needed.

Ok man i thank you

well the 041 runs and cuts like new.just had one problem.while walking to the wood pile i touched the case to my leg and it knocked the dog *s-word out of me.took the cover off to check for bare spots or cracks in the lead wire but cant spot any????

 

[fearofpavement]

Probably just porous insulation. Was it wet or humid at the time?

 

[riverrat2]

put a new lead wire/boot on it and let it rip its probably original so it is at least 50 years old!!!

Rather shocking wasn't it?

yeah it had been raining but was in the back of my truck under cover.

 

[sefh3]

The plug wire needs replacing. Had the same thing happen on one of mine. Hurts for a minute. Luckily it wasn't running wot.

 

[Jughead]

id hate to see wide open.i threw my cigarette and the saw down.

 

[smokey7]

Man I've been there. Feels like some hit you with a hammer.

seemed much worse than an electric fence or 110v.
