Aye crucificio,

Did a search on Google and found this thread.

Used to work with IoM FL&MB 30 years ago. Chainsaws only used for felling! All larch axe sned afore going through the mill, which used to be on the road up to Glen Helen to be cut for 'larch lap' and the roaring fencing trade around the '70 developements! All extraction with 'Bernie' ex tram horse and Wilfy the horseman.

Selling a manual for one of the old 'back breakers' you've found, on Ebay if you are interested.

Hopefully you have the machine running by now. I should also thank stihl#1 for his useful data posting.

My compliments to all about the site, I shall spread the word.

My regards, themoudie
