Lets see...The 028 Super that's my current favorite dates from about 1985. The Sachs Dolmar 116si I bought new about 1990. The Husky 2100 I built from parts in 1985. The Mac 7-10 dates from about 1970. The Pioneer P-50 from 1974. And the grandaddy of them all is a the Mac 1-50 that was built the same year I was born- 1959.
There are also a couple older Poulans in the mix, a PP375 from around 1993 and a 3400 from '79. Great saws! Nothing like todays Poulan/Husky/Jonsereds. Theres an 041 Stihl, Homie XL, and a Sachs Dolmar 133 out there too. Oh yeah and a couple of others- a real good running Mac 300 from about 65, a not so good running Mac 250 and a Solo 611 from 68 and a Pioneer P20 that needs work from 74 or so.
The newest saw here is a Husky 365 which the sales guy said would match my long gone 266. It doesn't, not even close. I don't like the saw very much.
Frankly, chainsaw technology for me stopped about 1995, ,maybe 5-10 years earlier. After that they seemed to become less and less professional tools that would run forever and more and more consumer junk, even when you bought "pro" saws. That old Husky 2100 or Mac 300 may be old and heavy and clumsy and whatnot, but they will run day after day after day, all day long in the worst conditions and do it all over again tomorrow. Same for a lot of other older saws. What kills them is modern fuels and lack of parts support. That and our never ending quest for lightness and "bling".

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
