Just another junk chainsaw

[Oldpath05]

That one has a different side cover exhaust sounds different than mine? .

Buckin Billy running one that looks and sounds real similar.

old macs about the only saws i have heard that almost need a reverse muffler mod- really LOUD

Bucken has no chain brake, must of been an earlier Mac edition..

I dont get it I cant cut a stick without an eye full of sawdust and Bucken has neither ear or eye protection on from one of loudest saws created but he did wear ear protection for a little bit @14:45 after he flooded out the Mac. What a mess he was in, he had no where's near the right equipment for that job and I dont think I could cut wood with a axe on my belt. I hope someone has logged that mess by now, be a waste to let it go to rot....

Yeah i noticed that to.

Mine looks just like his but it does have the brake. i have heard the brake handles can be broken on the mac's since it is a cast piece and getting dropped just so.

Cutting wood with an ax hanging, not something I would be up to.

I think Billy is somewhat of a "Force of Nature"- although he was at the hospital with swollen parts the other day on a newer video.

I really do enjoy the man's attitude toward life.

There sure was a whole lot of wood just laying around for sure, Good firewood if nothing else.

Wonder what a Husky 480 would be worth towards a Stihl 660...
I got my starter recoil fixed; replaced broken tab with a stud drilled and tapped in to the side cover. Runs and cuts great now; had just put a new 4" bar and chain on it when the recoil assembly broke.

But it is an older saw, hard to find part, no chain brake. Would like to get something newer with safety features.

I cant see a 1980's made boat anchor worth very much, my small 550xp with half the weight will cut circles around this 480 husky, let alone a big new 660 Stihl......

JonCutter 2500 is a copy of the Zenoah Redmax 2500 top handle 25cc 25.4cc. Not bad for a cheap top handle and light weight. $99 if you shop ebay or US dealer

Forgot to weigh it PHO dry. Will empty and weigh later with spike installed with clutch cover etc all on but b+c.
Paper specs show 3kg = 6.6lbs

At this point in time it would be hard for me to buy anything coMMunist made if I can help it.

Dealer swapped me out of my POS MS whatever toycutter for a used 346XP Husqvarna with new piston/cylinder, bar and chain.

Thing runs great and he gave me full price back in trade. I actually went in to buy a new carb so I could make the saw run, he said no way and to bring the saw back.

You got a nice saw. I bought a new 346 in 2004 and if I knew three years later what I know now it never would have been sold for parts.

I also had a 346 husky back in (04)-ish but but dont remember if it being a XP or not, in 2013 went to buy another one but was told the 550XP took it's place. The 550xp is on it's way of being one of the longest lasting Husqvarna numbers, I hope I hate the constant model number changing.

I can show you guys the OEM China made husqvarna 550xp cylinder kits, Stihl chainsaw factory there with saws, Makita there too.

So ya you can try to avoid it but guess where your phone, puter, tv, radio, etc etc is made.
Heck look at the parts you buy for your cars and truck etc.
