Growing up on a small farm in the mid west that heated with wood most of the time I learned how to run a saw early on, and more than likely earlier than I should have in all honesty. The 2 stihl's my dad had were always in the shop and the (IIRC) the rancher he had NEVER ran right. So when I was old enough kinda followed my grandpa and went with the sweeds and bought a nice though older Jonsered 621 form about 1978 (this was 1992) and converted it over to the solid state electronic ignition from a 70. (IIRC) With only a 16" bar and a relatively low RPM smaller displacement saw, it is a cutting little bastard
Edit: went out to the garage and dug it out, its not a 621 its a 49SP
I have not had a whole lot of need for a saw outside of little shit since I left the farm and working on the neighbors farms a few years latter so my knowledge on saws is all but gone. Though I am working on getting to a place here before too long that I will likely need to be in the know again...... Living where I do, this is LOGGER country, and also Sthil country and one of the best custom saw builders anywhere is here in town..

speaking of chain saws, I just got back in the house, took me three hours to fire the JD tractor, treked into the bush and pulled out 3 100' ash trees, cut and split them for burning wood for the rest of feb. in two days, I will pull a bunch more to tide me over till mid march.

My parents used to cut and sell firewood. (among other things like beekeeping) I was too young to remember, but i've heard the stories. It's odd to think my mom and dad could unload and stack a cord of wood in record time, back then about 15 minutes or something? Shit, I'd be three beers in by that time.

I heat my house with 2 wood stoves but buy most of my wood. I do need a nice chainsaw to do some logging in the yard. I've had my eye on a ms290 for some time.
I have an old 024 but it's in rough shape.Originally posted by LJ851I programmed my oven to turn off when my pizza was done, should i start a build thread?

I run an 026 Stihl, but have been lusting after something bigger like a Jonsered 630 Super or Stihl for years. Admit it. We all wish we had a big Jonsered.
The saw cuts a 30" pine in about 3 sec. It's a great saw

Get a flash light and look at the piston.
