There’s a couple of things that can be an issue with them -the bosch ignition and the clutch side bearing and seal are getting hard to find .

Here's my faithful Husky 394 with a 26 inch bar. Took 2 min 50 sec to turn this load of logs into firewood this avo



The tie down strop ratchets all the logs down tight, so they don't play games with you and try and come visiting you through your visor. Half way through cutting a load I crank it up a tad, as the pile of logs often loosens up.

Well there are some classic saws that have come up.
I just have cleaned out my leased shed from the last 20 odd years.
Got down to the last shelves and started finding all the saws I had been hoarding for one day repairing.
Needless to say that after been honest with myself I put them on the truck and of to the scrappy to be turned into beer vouchers!
I had 4 of my good big saws stolen a couple of years ago and put the insurance money back into my saws as that is part if how I make my living.
I ended up with what I consider the near ultimate combination for my line of work and play.
A 220c battery stihl, a 362 stihl a 461stihl and the oh my God 880 magnum.
Still have a couple of small shindaiwas and baby stihls.
The one that gets used every day is the little battery stihl when I can get it of the mrs!
It's a wonder I still love chainsaws as should of been cured of them after having to use homelite Xl12's for weeks on end cutting scrub back in the good old days.
They were nearly as bad as the stihl 090 for vibration!
Memories!

What have you got under your lawn that needs a ventilator? A fallout shelter (-:

oops hope you guys can unsee that..........

I dug the old mans Home lite XL 12 out of the shed . Holy shit , started after a full pulls . Has been sitting for the last 10+ years. The reason I put it away was the chain oiler was not working ( its a manual one ) .
So after it ran , I pulled apart the manual oiler and unblocked it , I also replace the o rings on the plunger. She is all go now and looks good beside my other saw.
Looking forward to hacking up some trees with the beast now. It has a bigger bar than my stihl chainsaw I have so will be used.

Stihl 462, 024AV super and Ozito electric. These 3 cover all my needs. Although a single handed one might be nice

My stihl 063. I really need to find somewhere I can cut my own wood so I get to use this beast more often.

Or you could just flog it to someone needing a gruntier saw with more bar....... like me.

nah i wish it was a bunker full of toys...... it came off the roof when reroofing got 2 more to come down yet

Found the Stihl MS640, MS180, and husky electric pole saw take care of everything on a lifestyle block. Half of the big gums have been felled, and it will be a bunch more years before the rest get dropped. The MS640 will just be a decoration until then.

Anyone have a need for a Stihl 034 for parts?Got one here thats done average hours.Got wet on the Hollyford while being used as a lewis winch doing the jboat snig thing.No doubt salvageable but when I took it into the local Stihl agent to assess he just happened to have running on special the annual show day sale.The sales pitch worked & I upgraded to a larger model.Nth Canty but travelling to Sth Westland in a tortnight so could drop off along the way
