Years ago, I saw a u-tube video of Filipino guy using a Contra to cut boards out of log in the vertical direction with the tip of the bar. He was standing up and holding the handle with his right hand, and his right elbow on his hip. The bar had to be at least 36" long, and on that big saw, it made him look tiny. But here he was, one handing board after board with great precision, all while using his left hand for his cigarette. His skill and strength blew me away.

Had the 029 super for a long time. The difference between it and my son’s 029 farmboss ,it had a 1 mm larger bore , 8 pin spur sprocket, 325 chain. Whereas my son’s was 3/8 , 7 pin .

Original 029 was 54cc the 029 super was 56cc. They went to the ms series and just made all the 290 56cc.

Damn you scored some good parts and saws. If you want to sell the 55 fuel tank i might be a buyer.

I don't think its a contra S or lightning s on those the plug is angled into the top of the cylinder my guess is just a contra
@IndianaDoug2 күн бұрын
Definitely not an 070/090. It’s a Contra, not sure which variant
@novicelumberjack2 күн бұрын
I've pretty much figured it out, I think. I believe it is a contra with a 070 or 090 cylinder on it. That's why I can't get the top cover to fit. Contra had the spark plug coming out almost horizontal. This one has it going straight up and the top cover can't go down far enough.
