Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

For folks that dont know. Those just older Echo 8000 when had the big carbs and the echo 4500.

4500's reminded me of the 346 OE saws.

I want to thank Scotty at Hockfire Saws - Logan, Ohio for 2 of the 3 things I ordered for wife that got delivered today.

She always complains about my gas stuff and she has issues trying to start when I am not around.

So thinking ahead for when I am not around anymore.

I ordered a V-modest battery pruner and holy chit those could take chit off quickly.

Also V-modest battery long pole pruner with another pole saw attachment too.

Then this mini tiller that uses battery.

All working and made her smile on the pruner itself.

To go along with all the other manual pruners and a battery weeder just bought too.

Least now I know she has a chance to keep doing what she loves to do here.

With 2 pruners. One was skinnier where hand is and fit wife's hand. The other was thicker and fit my hand better.

These things are unreal pruning with.

Collectors went nuts for these.

3 I sold quickly.

Only 1 was opened for pics. Other 2 were still sealed.

Sharing so if never seen the mac version.

Holy Cow, .562 chain listed, just the thing for a vintage 200cc saw.

I second the motion on Scottie at Hockfire saws. It is always worth calling him. He knows his stuff, and doesn't try to push a sale. His prices are great. He carries so many things - gas and cordless - and it's hard to navigate all he has to offer. He can guide you to what best suits your needs. I am a repeat customer.

We been having discussion of the lightest chain setups on top handles.

So I broke out my first one I set up in 1/4 mini micro before switch the other 2 to nano 325.

Lightest set up I can go on 25cc micro 1/4”

That archer bar dies going to nano 325 on this 25cc too

My other 2 25cc already have nano set ups.

35cc back to full chisel 3/8LP 63PS

That saw looks like it took an unexpected dunk in the cold ocean.

Made many of different ones over the years using some saws I have owned.

 

[xyz123]

Egan woods ported, H side carb, unlimited coil 3120.

Most times was ran with 44" 60" but also local had a 72".

I used to put a short bar on it playing after tuning.

I ended up with this saw years back and sold to a friend north of me with his own shop.

Hopefully 440 can be saved. If not parts are parts setting on shelf.

Local took what parts he needed for his 46 to have on hand.
Then was going to part the rest out.

I was interested in the whole 440 myself. Piston hurt and fly missing one fin.

Ran # 2001 (+/- 1 y )

Found out in my group this is a transition 440. No decomp cylinder used when they went away from the 044.

Now that makes me want to use all oem stuff for a collector to own later.
