    @MSL

    I have gives some of those exact model saws to outdoorpower in Hastings

    If you need any bits give Matt a ring and tell him I sent you

    You would most likely get them sent to you for the courier fee

    Yes, just like this one…https://www.ebay.com/itm/264658413806

    The 044 is a favourite, great all round 70cc saw.
    I carry an 046 on my ute daily, which is the same saw but bored out to 77cc.

    Yep, good saw - done a fair bit of time on them. I currently have a 361, rate it higher for the work I have now than the 044's but it's purely down to the bulk/weight and I reckon it spins a bit quicker. Basically I don't have the need for anything longer than a 22" bar so the 60cc does it well. I got rid of the 660 for that reason, just too bloody heavy for a firewood and avo pruning saw where you are having to prune around kicks and knees in the timber and when the 361 came up (brand new private import) I hopped on it literally and haven't looked back.

    Although, I have just spent a bit on an adult jigsaw 460 that needs reassembling with a new jug and piston (supplied with all bits apparently) - a little project while I'm between work. Dunno what I'll do with it once it's done and running!

    MS180, MS500i, and MS640.

    640 was running a bit rough, so bought the 500i just in case it died. Haven't touched the 640 since - the 500i is a beast of a saw. Have a 22" bar on it for most duties, and a 28" bar for the occasional bigger jobs.

    We have the 500i's at work. They are an awesome saw.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I'm gutted as had my saws stolen just before the 500i came out.
    Ended up with a 220c a 362 a 461 and 880m.
    I'm so close to just buying one because I can but holding myself back!
    I now struggle to be allowed to take the 220 away to work as the Mrs thinks she owns it now.
    I had to get my old faithfull 021 going again!
