You mentioned the old days,, I would make wager you used a different brand Chain saw than?? Not trying to but a date on you but it is not your first "day on the job" cutting wood, Ha Ha. There was a "ton" of names and some very good saws in the late 60/ early70's. Few old names still around ,but ,mostly all gone and junk now. No logger here but we mostly used Homelite years ago around the farm and etc,,which is still sold under that name at Home Depot or Lowes ?? ( I think ) but JUNK !!! Linda is not bad with her camera ,, Pretty good pics she posts,,, but I would cast my vote on your pics as number one,,, LOL sorry Linda,, please don't shoot me,, A few more lessons from JG and you will be right there, HA HA Fuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
