Nice storage unit find

[STX_Shooter]

My dad is getting older and I guess he’s realizing he won’t be using most of the tools he’s acquired I’ve the years so I’ve been helping him by selling them. I’ve kept a few things but sold a lot well I found this little gem. Paper work says 1987 and it looks new. I’m guessing it has only a few hours on it. Came with all the paper work.

Those were the top of the line back then. I knew several older men who had them and paid some of us younger guys to use them.
If I remember right they are loud as hell

In the same boat have some big ECHO and other chainsaws my grandpa bought and hardly used , been thinking about taking them to a repair shop and using them

Just turned it on for the first time in years. My dad stored it roperly and it turned on and ran like a champ. I’m keeping this bad boy.

I used to use one exactly like that when I installed fireplaces, they make short work of 2X6s and OSB.

If I needed the framers to re-frame something and they didn’t want to, I’d just fire that dude up and they’d come runnin!

I can’t believe how loud it is!

Y’all think I should trash the case and buy a carry bag from amazon or keep the old case? It’s in ok functional condition just doesn’t look as clean and nice as the saw itself.

Need a picture before a verdict can be found

Couple of cracks and soft spots.

I’d def keep the original carrying/storing case, but I use stuff until I can’t anymore most of the time.

I have had a number of them over the years. I heard they are designed to last 17 hours of run time. And I kinda believe it, as none of mine lasted long.

I'd keep the hard case to keep extra chains, file, saw wrench, and any other extra stuff. Easier to clean than a soft case. Duct tape will cover holes and soft spots good enough till it completely wears out. Why throw something away that can still be used.

Keep the hard case...
