trying to post video of my bench saw set up... not having much luck so far.
might have to email it to someone less technically retarded and get them to post it.....

with a lot of help from a great fella here we have it.thats a 30 plus year old 025 with a non roller tip bar....I cut near on a cord of willow branches for one tank of fuel using this set up
I have 2 Stihls a petrol jobby and an electric battery one.. The petrol one hasn't been used for a year or 2. The battery one is one of the best things i have ever bought.
Nowhere as sophisticated as Mickys but this my branch frame.
And these are my saws.
Still 084 in the mill frame wearing the short bar (36 in)
Huskie 365 had from new in 1998 a bit like captain cooks axe now has some 371xp bits which sped things up a bit.
Oily o mac deliberately spelt like that as I've never had a saw leak so much bar oil when sitting doing nothing. Actually an Oleomac 936 i brought as a replacement when a sthil "toy saw" shat itself doing light work scrub cutting and was told that it wasn't designed for that. Got a refund and brought this. It didnt blow up. It's been used as general small job dogsbody and fencing 1saw for 10 years been through a few bars etc.
Absolutely no brand allegiance showing there whatsoever.

Cheap as Ozito great for tree top stuff. I’m now a city slicker and this is my neighbour’s tree. Every branch has had to be lowered by rope as it’s hard up against the fence and hanging over the house. Love the little saw for this type of work. I might bust out the 064 for the final cut.
@Micky Duck it looks like it's doing the job and making life really easy for you, but mate I suspect if I was using it my first impression is that chain is too close to my hands! Did you make up the jig yourself? How is it attached to the front of the bar?
Good to put a face to the name too:thumbsup:
it was made commercially 30 something years back.
the chain is no closer to my hands,than it would be to someone else holding stick on side of trailer...or my boot if standing on branch to cut it (is there any other way?)
the last cut,my hand is about 4" from cutty bit. rear of bar it has small plate and bar is sandwiched between so it comes off in one bit.... see photos in Phil Hs thread on farm access...the tip.....now thats WHY its not a roller tip bar...hole drilled through bar ,bolt goes through and two pressed metal plated cover end of bar to protect user. I had it on roller tip bar but had to make up shield for it....the bullnose bar MUCH MUCH better.the saw doesnt rev its nuts off so the old saw suits the set up well.
yeah thats neat...the end of bar being exposed and under his armpit gives me the heebee geebees....like mostthings in life,safe till somethinggoes wrong,same with other end of bar..... Ive seen a similar set up with 5 foot bar that runs off front of wheel tractor....man can that thing buzz through blue gum like there is no tomorrow.
So tell me what model this saw is....lost it's sticker....is there anywhere else on the saw that gives it's model?

its actually a fairy new thing...my 026 has that,its a fast chain tension system...
have a look under cover by air filter.....hard to judge size from photo but IM GUESSING thats about a 14'' bar???
indeed,even I wont let saw get that dirty!!!!!!
1994 the chain tensioner /plastic VS nuts thing came out......1998 the fuel tank caps changed...if yo ugo to STIHL site they have history section......
That's a early 2000's MS170 or 180 as Mauser308 has said. Dad has one in the shed the same for fencing.
I've had all sorts, started working on chainsaws when I was 13. Don't use them as often now. Currently have Stihl 660, 440, 461, 391, 200. I love the 461 and 200t. Still do a bit of chainsaw pruning and thinning when I get time. Good to spend a couple hours in the trees with the contractors, they appreciate when the person telling them what to do each day can do the job they're doing.
This was my pride and joy when I was 18. Husky 395, they scream. This was probably the fittest I ever was, it was painful to carry all day in the bush with fuel and spare gear for the day. We'd walk several kms in a day, and often several hundred metres between trees that met spec.

Playing around with my Logosol mill...the lad was doing a project for school of making something out of timber.

Had a little family get together, dragged them from under benches and other hide-e-holes, never realized just how many I owned, either that or they are breeding among themselves...I only use one these days and not often...I guess I should look at getting shot of a few.

Don’t see too many Pioneers there, I gave mine to the local museum!:D
My first saw was a Pioneer 2400. Quite a grunty saw for the era. No anti vibe though or if it did have it never worked. Quite a tiring saw to use vibe wise. All screws were loctited in to keep them tight. It died under a large macrocarpa crushed into a million bits. Lack of experience on my part.
I was also given a much older Pioneer. Yellow model with manual oiling and glass bowl fuel filter. I intended to use it as a go kart motor but never got the project off the ground. It too was probably better suited as a museum piece.
The 2400 was replaced by an 045AV. On a visit to the Kauri museum a few years back I saw an exact example of my 045.
I still have that saw but the motor has long since been fitted to an older Stihl BT360 auger.
Will be checking and sharpening my 026 before the weekend this morning's wind has provided firewood for next year...
I’ve got a couple of saws , here’s a McCulloch super pro 81 and Double eagle 80

WOW that Stihl is a thing of beauty...brings back happy memories for me.
I’ve got an 056 magnum to freshen up myself

Here's my faithful Husky 394 with a 26 inch bar. Took 2 min 50 sec to turn this load of logs into firewood this avo:ORLY:
Attachment 174256
The tie down strop ratchets all the logs down tight, so they don't play games with you and try and come visiting you through your visor. Half way through cutting a load I crank it up a tad, as the pile of logs often loosens up.
Well there are some classic saws that have come up.
I just have cleaned out my leased shed from the last 20 odd years.
Got down to the last shelves and started finding all the saws I had been hoarding for one day repairing.
Needless to say that after been honest with myself I put them on the truck and of to the scrappy to be turned into beer vouchers!
I had 4 of my good big saws stolen a couple of years ago and put the insurance money back into my saws as that is part if how I make my living.
I ended up with what I consider the near ultimate combination for my line of work and play.
A 220c battery stihl, a 362 stihl a 461stihl and the oh my God 880 magnum.
Still have a couple of small shindaiwas and baby stihls.
The one that gets used every day is the little battery stihl when I can get it of the mrs!
It's a wonder I still love chainsaws as should of been cured of them after having to use homelite Xl12's for weeks on end cutting scrub back in the good old days.
They were nearly as bad as the stihl 090 for vibration!
Memories!

I didn’t think you had an 880 magnum?
