This one crossed the bench today, just blew a few cobwebs off, wiped it down a bit, and move it up to the display. Very low on compression and the starter cup is so badly worn that the pawls will not catch any more. For the time being, it will just sit there and look used. From Mike Acres site I believe this is a model HB.

The fuel tank and carburetor remain in position, while the engine rotates 90 degrees in either direction as needed for felling cuts.

From Mike Acres site, the HB was an improved version of the HA and introduced the direct drive chainsaw to the world.

A while ago I bought this 261 arctic from Bill and sent it over to 309 for a wrap and for port work. After tinking with the stock wrap I was able to transfer the heating element over to the 309 wrap. Wcs cover, filter and dogs. PS billet muffler. cannon super mini 3/8LP. Little saw rips now

Just finished up this 350 with an OE 353 top end thanks to @Mastermind. Deleted the base gasket and opened up the muffler. First cuts went well, running a little fat for a few tanks. Also, got my boys LT80 engine out and boxed up to send out to get a nice port job and rebuild, should rip pretty good!
