Celebrating 1000 members: Show off your latest chainsaw gear!

[Alan]

To celebrate 1000 members joining us here at ChainsawTalk I thought we might share our latest purchase.

It could be a chain, sharpener, or a new saw, feel free to drop a pic or a quick message. I’d love to see what’s been driving your cutting skills these days!

Unfortunately, parts have been my latest purchases! Just ordered a new coil for my 272XP, and have several different little parts ordered for the other five saws that are on the repair list.

That's totally fine, as long as it's your most recent purchase and it's related to chainsaws.

Very pleased with one of my latest purchases from Marketplace. What a deal! Pro Mac 700. Yes, it started and ran but it had other problems. The decomp valve was stuck in the open position but with a strong pull it started and ran good, hmmm?
I pretended not to know anything and asked the guy what this "red button" was for? He said; 'I don't know? I tried to move it but it won't budge'. I paid him and brought it home. The thing was full of carbon. Got it all cleaned out and cleared the passageway. Replaced the valve and it's running great. $60 was well spent

If I just posted a picture of a battery or a box of chain, it would be pretty boring.

Over the last 2 years or so I have purchased everything in the picture, maybe not a scrench or rim sprocket but virtually everything there. The gasoline 540 mk 3 made in Japan and the battery 542 which is pretty much all I use unless it is 60cc this past half a year. Last year in November Husqvarna had an on line promotion giving a 2023 vintage bli300 battery, a qc 500 charger compliomentary if one bought a 5xx battery tool.

Yes I will. I think i have 5 in the field. I've had better than average luck with them compared to some other makes and models. Great power to weight ratio.

Great! It looks like you’re all set to keep that 038 in top shape.
