Great looking saw. Looks like an absolute beast and appears to be in excellent condition. I’ve decided to stick with the 18” Oregon bar that has been discussed. I’m just going to paint it black, use a McCulloch stencil from Sugar Creek, and go from there. I really appreciate the offer though. If I ever get my hands on another saw (considering it), I’ll come to you first thing.

(Plus I’ve already bought an 18” oem scabbard )

Sounds good. You'll have to send us some picks after you are done painting that bar. Are you running full chisel or semi chisel chain?

I will definitely send some pics once I’m done with it. I’m going to be using a full chisel. Oregon E66 PowerCut chain.

Oregon power cut with .35 rakers... Nothing better.

Not a bad deal at all.

Another thing you can do to really make a 10-10 cut is to change the 7 tooth sprocket to a 8 tooth sprocket. The larger sprocket gives you more chain speed and makes the saw feel and cut much more like a newer saw.

That is definitely tempting. I would love to remove all the necessary things like the clutch myself, but I’m just now cutting my teeth on chainsaws. I’ve been a gun and classic car nut for years now, but I can thank the hurricane for sparking this new interest in me.

I will definitely consider the 8-tooth sprocket, but I may need to pay someone for the install or YouTube teach myself.

It won't be long until you are like me and have six different clutch pullers (because the different saws never use the same tools)...and I still need to get another one now. And flywheel pullers....

I can already see it happening
