At $8 a chain, it would take 62,500 chains to pay for each machine. Just doesn't make sense. Maybe it's a CNC machine that he does other stuff with as well? That's the only way it would make sense.

Like the Colonel told the Sergeant in the movie "The thin red line" You don't have to tell me i am right will asume it.

Yup Husqvarna has their hands on Poulan saws by incorporating their primer bulb, Stihl seems to not go that route.

This why I keep even the cheap saws around. To grab parts from when needed to do stuff on the cheap for occasional use homeowner.
Ran with chain brake on and clutch spring lost its temper. Broke through the brake band too.

Was out of the poulan zama carb kits to try to make sure this saw needed a new carb or not. Cost for new carb is so close. But being I am curious. I remembered a new stihl 180 carb that has been in a bin for 2 years now. Guessed right both use same kit.

Using PP4018 might be a 4218 for part instead of rebuilding it. Just had a slight score and had good used p+c already. Long as newer strato seems most swap.

Also needs a carb kit or a new carb. Being almost same prices.

Sold the little woodshark one yesterday too.

Nice piston still in the little saw

He just has me intrigued to see what a half million dollar sharpen looks like. I know my buddy has 5 sharpeners and that any good stihl dealer have too and are 15,000 new and around 10,000 used. I just think somebody is blowing smoke up someones

Now i have a new STHIL chain on it but now nothing to cut. My dealer has two 1/2 million dollar chainsaw chain sharping systems, charges $8 dollars a chain takes about a minuet to do sharping.))))))
