Hey guys it's been awhile since i was last on here but i thought i should show what I've been up to. My dad was given this saw 10 years ago and ( Didn't use it or even start it ! ) it hasn't been running for about 10+ years before that ... so all in all the saw hasn't run in 20+ years ... well with a little bit of patients and some elbow grease i'm happy to say shes running like a dream and ready to be put back to work. All new fuel lines / filter, All new hand made paper gaskets ( Made them myself ), new crank bearings, new reed valves and a good carburetor cleaning. All it needs now is a good paint job ... then again maybe not ... it reminds me of the chainsaw in Mad Max: Beyond thunderdome :D

On another note : I was given a chainsaw for free and i tried to find some information on it and i can't find anything ... Its not the Spartan but its completely identical but green in colour and instead of Spartans model 34AV this saws model is AX34 ...its called a POWER TUFF. Does anyone know anything about this saw ? Ill post a real picture of the chainsaw ASAP

Thanks in advance !

I have not seen a P-40 for a long time. They were a popular farm/ranch saw hear. Good job getting it to bark again. I believe the little guy was built by Oleo-Mac in Italy, they were rebadged for a number of manufacturers.
