New(ish) toy for Xmas

[skyhuck]

Proper old school 090, dunno her age, perhaps if anyone knows how I can date her I'll find out. Going to test run her tomorrow, earplugs in bowline!! you'll probably hear her from yours!

 

With sheep you age them by looking at there teeth?

Judging by the look of this old girl, it'll need carbon-dating!!

Well, thankfully she runs like a dream, 3rd pull and away she went. Now to buy the mill, bigger bar and chain. Cool!!

Thats a nice saw, loads of torque but slower chain speed which is a compromise, i have a running 070 that i havent ever put into wood yet, as i have the 084, and thats just a lot faster chain speed, it will definatly be worth putting the aux oiler on your alaskan when you get it, as if i remember correctly the 070/090 dont have auto oilers, you have to manually pump it, which will wear your finger out very quickly when milling,

 

is it a 090 or 090G? it will be impressive to see it going, at least your not limited to a 3ft bar you can go out to 7ft quite easily, for those bigger trees in suffolk!

Not sure of the difference between the 090 and the 090G, assuming the G model has AV rubbers?

The 090G has a gearbox drive to the chain rather than centrifugal clutch, but only had the same CC as the 070 if i remember correctly

Where did you get it from Andy?
