He was asking $200. Looked pretty good from the pics too. I still have the ad up actually cause I figured it would go quick.
Edit: it was in Ontario too BTW

Yea, it looked like a sweet deal. Those bring twice that on ebay everyday
I knew it probabally wouldnt last long, but I figured it would last more than two hours:confused2:

WOW!! Glad to know the 372,390,357,261,460,660's + are all junk. I guess all the years we ran them with 0 major failures are just a fluke. CJ

All the saws you list there are top notch. (well maybe not quite as top notch as dolmars
).Dont worry about him. Guys that say things like that, its pretty clear that they have never ran anything more than a homeowner or box-store model of either brand:confused2:

Curious how you made your saw bracket for the bx? does it wedge in between that space or bolt?I have been meaning to try to spend more time over here w/ this crowd.
You guys got the right stuff & the goods I say!
I have a Stihl 009 (What is it called, a Mini Boss? Or a Mini Farm Boss?)
Craig, here, you can buy those Beam Saws, works good. You buy the
chainsaw parts (Prazi) and mount it up to your saw. I wanted a dedicated
beam saw so I picked up this Craftsman.
I have been wantin' a large"r" chainsaw. My Stihl dealer is tryin' to put
me into a MS362-20 , I noticed a note on the quote that said "Flush".
I assume that is a handle, well, lack of a handle on the side so a guy can
cut a stump flush to the ground ? I have not been able to find good pics
of a "Flush" handle and a, is it a "Full Wrap" handle? Well he is prob just
pushin' what he has in stock. I perfer to leave stumps 4-5' tall to use
as a lever and just dig the stumps out.
But where was I, oh, so I was
thinking about a new saw but DANG! It is $650bones? Naw...that shy'd
me away then this morning I realized some of you guys are either in the
chainsaw only biz or are enthusists and maybe a guy could think about
buying a used Sthil Chainsaw for a song, maybe a song and a dance!
For now I think I pefer to stick to Stihl. So sumthin' for maybe a couple-few
of you guys to think abouts. I can't do it right away, but need to be thinkin' bout it anywho...
Hey is there anything wrong w/ carrying my 009 like pictured below? I built that
holder and didn't ask first, I kinda doubt it but nothing like askin pro's...
Now I need to figure up a cool way to carry some mix-gas as well.
I plunged cut a slot thru a piece of scrap 4x6 just to see if I could do it
and schzam! I did such a good job I decided to keep it and use it so off
I went w/ a lil wood putty here and there and some black paint and I
welded up a hanger ring and simply lag bolted it from below thru an
existing hole in the deck, works well...
(I Hope I don't hijak the OP's thread w/ my junk ramblin's!
i really like that setup I have a b and think that is a great place to mount a saw. its more protected this way.

It is made from a piece of .375 x 1.0" flat bar and a piece of .125 x 4" flat bar that is 2" long.
Cut 4 pieces of the one and one piece of the 4 and welded it up then groud it nice.
Yes it just slips over the FEL support THEN there is a lag bolt pointing up
screwed in from below the deck thru that hole w/ an orange sticker on it.
