Got a "new" saw today

[cwitham]

I went to our local Ace hardware today to pick up the 290 chains I dropped off yesterday and to get the chains on my saw sharpened (yes, I know I should just do this myself but I chose to pay the guys at Ace to do it) and while I was waiting I saw this sitting on the shelf



Well I couldn't just leave it there, they were asking $160 for it I got him down to $130, it has the original owners manual and fired on the second pull. I figured that being a German saw it was worth me bringing it home as my 290 sucks for limbing.

Color me jealous.

Not sure why that 290 is not good for limbing? It is a great little saw. Also, I think you are getting the chain sharpened rather than the blade (bar).

I don't find the 290 to be good for limbing due to its size and the fact that I can't run it one handed, I like smaller saws for smaller work.

Yeah I meant chains, let's not get technical.

Nice saw! I probably wouldve snagged it too

020- The original climbing saw. I was using one of those into the early 90's.

I don't know about yours but mine DID NOT have an electronic ignition so it had points. Something you'll want to be aware of if it starts acting up on you.

Nice deal on the saw. A small saw will come in handy especially for that price.

Wow I'm tired, I thought for a minute that you dropped off two hundred and ninety chains to Ace hardware. I was thinking "how in the world does someone afford to have that many chains done!".
