So, I saved up a little saw money. Was trying to figure out what to do with it. Option 1: 7900 top end kit. However, probably ony 10% or less of my wood needs a 24" bar, and I hate handling the big stuff.
Option 2: I have a 2011 never seen wood 5105 I bought a few months ago which I would like to send to @Miller Mod Saws for the magic touch. I hadn't been on here in awhile, and was reading through all of the stuff I missed. Found an old ad in the classifieds and took............... Option 3. Clean now, low hour example of my most favorite saw. Had been there for a couple months. No love for the 115's I guess. That's okay. I could not be happier with it on display in my office. Thanks @fordf150

Very nice! I think the late model 115 was always overshadowed here by the new style 50cc saws such as the 510, 5100, and 5105. Still, it had an impressive run right up there with the Homie SXL and Mac 10-10.

The power & torque of this saw surprised me.

I think the last year the 115i was imported here was around '96 or so. Last year I got my hands on a NOS 115i from '94 and a brand new 2018 model.

First models built in 1984 and the last built in 2018.

Oh so jealous! Both of mine are 94. My very first own saw.​

That's quite a long run, I guess the 115 was a cult favorite overseas.

Yea there was good reason that someone picked all the 109/111/115/520 parts from the wooden crate in the trailer out back... some moron now has like 15 of this series.

Home with my new baby girl so I might get a dolmar/makita family pic this week.

Here’s the newest member of the dolmar/makita cult. @166 does makita/dolmar make a toy chainsaw?

You can ship one to me... I’ve been waiting on that saw since I ran the rear handle version at your place... what’s the $$$ and model number?

They make the electric Makita with a 12" bar?
What's the chain used?

The battery op one above that Steve posted is probably a 16” from the looks of it and it’s 3/8LP chain. Might be .043 for weight savings/longer battery run time.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes. [emoji106]
I'd like a small 12" bar for ladder or bucket truck.
Or maybe I should look into a pole saw???
I don't know.

Not as fancy as the Stihl toy saw, but it is a nice toy.
The one in the clip ended up as a birthday present for my nephew.

Last I checked they were in stock in Germany.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Congratulations!! I see she is already wearing a Makita teal sweater.

Last fall I had a direct comparison of 115i vs. PS-5000. Seemed the 5000 was a magnitude more powerful than the 115, but
with a decent muffler mod the 115 came close up. Nevertheless the 115 is an aged construction and doesn't have a chance to beat
its successor. And this is stated by a die-hard 115i-fan!

First models built in 1984 and the last built in 2018.

In Germany the 115 has been available until fall 2018. Late 2018 I had to order a 115 from a dealer in Austria
since in Germany it was NLA but I wanted to put one of the last ones onto my shelf.

That's quite a long run, I guess the 115 was a cult favorite overseas.

And very like the Volkswagen Beetle (which had an even longer productoin run, most if not all parts of the saw have been modified or altered through the years of production.

New arrival today:



NOS clutch cover for PS-6000/6800.
This one will receive an "EDITION 2000" sticker and then will fit on my PS-6800i.

The guy selling this one has a couple of the same items in Makita teal, NOS as well, see
