I would same guess unless something was updated. They do the
parts buying by serial number of saw too. Like 3 IPL's for
5000 with #'s break down to each one.

Elevation here is between 0 and 500. Redmax should work good at
its new home.

It depends on where in the PNW you are. :-) A lot of the area
is less than 100 feet above sea level here in the Puget Sound.
I am actually closer to 450-480 where I live. There are plenty
of mountainous regions just a little bit west of here where
people live at 1k+
"Little red" is going to enjoy his life here. Winters are mild
and most of the wood is relatively soft.
Old Iron, if you're up for it, I would love to hear how you made
this little saw into such a powerhouse.

Art didnt you run a 325 set up on this redmax for work? Could
you share anything with the new owner.
I left the 3/8 7T on it for him and he wanted a 18" 325 set up
with 7T rim for switching over. So I sent him one I had used on
hand.

On pulp saws I ran the lightest setup I could. The Redmax had a
15" Prolite bar with a 21lp Oregon chain on an 8 tooth gear. Saw
was set at 15,000. Its had almost no acceleration time. Trigger
was like an electrical switch. On and off. Idle to full throttle
in a heart beat. On frosty mornings one of my men said it
sounded like a gun shooting limbs off trees. It is the only
ported saw I ever had that used less gas after porting than
before.

Thanks for posting that, Old Iron. It's nice to know there's so
much speed there. I am going to try a few different b/c combos
to find the one that works best for my firewood hack needs.
Your post reminded me that I need to pick up an 8 tooth .325
gear to test against the 7 tooth.
