Someday I'll have an International Harvester M1 Garand. I'll probably never shoot it, but I think they are cool. Has to be an IH.

I finally bought an M1 Garand but it’s not an IH. Springfield Armory with a 1943 serial number. Barrel was replaced in the 60’s at an armory. I still want to find an IH some day, but I wanted to get one in the safe.

A buddy has a couple of these Farmertec Stihl clones and he said for the money it's really hard to beat them.

I already have an 026, 362, and my dad's 044. I don't burn firewood but I really want one of these 660 clones to put a 30-36" bar on.

Friend has one that showed me over turkeyday, good build quality, I think the company orginally was selling them as Stihls and they change models but the demand was still good for these old style models, they just rebranded them .

I watched Project Farm on YouTube comparing chainsaws.

Stihl won in most everything but pull cord. Farmertec chainsaw sucked as-is out of the box. But good for the value after a carb tune and with good bar & chain.

He also did a video on “mid size” chainsaws. I was surprised the Salem Master, at only $140, came in 2nd place, behind Stihl. This made it an excellent value.

I don’t remember what model, but it’s probably something like this one.

that's a zenoah clone saw, they're all over ebay, when I bought one it showed up with a bent crankshaft, rather than sending it back they just refunded the 80 bucks I spent
bit of hammer work and it's been running pretty good since

They're a 45cc saw that they chinengineered up to a 62cc jug onto, retaining the tiny carburetor so don't expect them to rev at all

Did you ever buy that one? I cheaped out and bought the 2cyl 4stroke and it just arrived. This is so cool and highly recommended as a hobby item for those winter days. Going to build the engine, get a transmission and shove into a 1/10th scale hard body jeep xj kit I have sitting on the shelf.

Those valves, the cam, the crankshaft...oh my!

$140 US at banggood

ETA, not my video. I just got mine and only opened and jizzed all over the parts so far

Finally built that motor. Took this long because I wanted to build it with my dad and he is a 20 hour drive away. Finally got there to see him last month and was a great way to spend time together. Had both of us giggling like schoolgirls looking at the cylinder head with the valves and installing the rocker arms :smokin:
If your dad (or mom, whatever) is any sort of gearhead this is a great cheap way to spend a day/afternoon together.
We couldn't run it as didn't have the fuel and plugs but it has the electric starting motor that we hooked to a battery and at least spun it up a few times
I have decided that I am buying myself either the V8 or the replica ford 300 as a retirement present for myself, when that time comes.
