I suppose I can believe you spotted a new brand of saw, but , I ABSOLUTEY refuse to believe you couldn't tell us the design history of whatever is hiding under the plastic !

You on one of those WALKABOUT vacations trying to discover new motors?

Foodstick, I found a booklet on the saw I picked up. Went through the process of cutting out pages and scanning them so you can(and everyone else) can read a little about the Italian made engines that come with a 5 year warranty...that is sold at some Menards outlets. The price was not that high for a well made product...but thats my opinion! Best Regards Capt,n ADDED Menards has emial and you can email them...and yes they do give you a reply. You can order the one chainsaw model they have or any of the others and they will UPS it. Not Bad at all http://www.menards.com/storeLocator....A2476E365B112A

Yupper...It looks like a good one too! I seen it again at my Local Menards. They are having a pro wood carver demonstrate how good these saws run. It will be done for 3 days. I looked the saw over close....it is very very high quality. The instruction book was full size and had over 100 pages. With a 5 year warrenty...they must be good. The 37 cc is on sale for $209....looks easy to convert. Capt,n
