If Al is JMS' Insurance Provider/ Clean Up Man, then Randy's Lead-time is going to look like Frenching Priority Express compared to someone getting a Fresh, (non-JMS), MOFO saw.
Yeah, and jasons premiums would be through the roof lol.

Here we go, since someone asked. The following took place via PM on another site.







The following were texts.

J: I have a bar and chain for you
I'll take 50$ for. It's a stihl bar 24" with a semi chisel chain.

I ordered new bearings last week and got them yesterday in case you need them
I can put them in.
It cost about 250$ at the dealor to have bearings put in.

That's how good of a deal you are getting.The bearings and seals are almost 100$. I want your business though.

Mastermind and those guys charge more than that to put bearings in.
It's a lot of work.

Me: Ok time to send some money. So you're doing bearings and seals for sure? Making the total $400? I made a deposit of $100, so $300 owed?

J: Yep

You need a new clutch
I have one, 50$
Yours is completely shot.

I have a new set of am dogs
Bout 20$ for both and the bolts.

Clutch is about 80$ new but I have a very good used one I'll take 50 for.

Everything else
is going great.
Porting it now
I'll give you a airfilter cover that's nice
This old one is fd up
---------------------
It's got new bearings and seals,piston and rings, rubber,fuel and impulse line.
Carb is rebuilt.
It was a bad pto side bearing that caused it to seize.
It should be around 30$ for shipping.
I'll get it sent out today.
Give me your address

I posted on Another Site about a 394 I bought locally that turned out to have a bunch of issues. JMS PMed me about it and offered to port it and correct all the issues for $250. Something didn't seem right and I held off and then I stumbled across all the issues with him on this forum. I've been in contact with a builder here who's going to do the 394 right. I'm so glad I didn't take JMS up on his offer.

It's Exponentially better than being a Husqvarna Sales Rep: just look at all those repeat repeat customers.


I bet they buy Muffler& recoil fasteners by the train car loads.
i got a Husqvarna mower and a few Husqvarna chainsaws i never had a problem with them. matter of fact it is the best zero turn i have owned.

That, in a nut shell, is why the stuff got posted. Not to wreck anything (that's not our gig, that's his) but simply to protect good people from bad people...

if echo built zero turns i would have one instead because echo is awesome and orange.

They sell wood splitters & Chippers now, but the Chippers are not on par with the competition.

I would like to give the 28t Splitter a go, however.

there large wheeled blowers are better than billy goat brand blowers.

I'll have to check those out.

The Bear Cat line of Chippers aren't quite heavy duty enough.
they got two new trimmers also made with military grade magnesium they are suppose to have way more power than there other trimmers they carry.
