CCC Chainsaw Conservation Components - DefinitiveDave

Hey guys I am new here. I guess a quick bio with a few candid
nudes may be in order so here goes.
I own an upscale landscape firm in central Ohio and a few years
ago a good buddy straight gassed my favorite MS361. My local
Stihl dealer told nme it would be cheaper to buy a new 362 than
to fix the saw so I did, but I spent a little time online and
eventually got an aftermarket big bore kit on Ebay and had a
local guy install it for me. Waaaaay less than the new 362 cost
me. Reading, reading, reading, buy some tools, fix a few of my
own saws, discover I really like working on saws so I decide to
rebuild an 066 so I would have a big saw for the odd times I
might need it. I accidentally buy an old Stihl dealership's
remaining stock and trade in saws. I join arboristsite, become
a sponsor so I can advertise my big chainsaw yardsale. Cut4Fun
sends me a message about his ohio based site, and my brain just
does nothing about it, because my brain does stupid shit
sometimes. ASite gets hacked, turnout is less than half what I
had expected at yardsale but still break even on the whole
purchase of the shop in one afternoon. Hmmmmm... I like saws
more now. Start selling saws n parts on Ebay, locate through
heavy research a few good overseas vendors, buy small orders at
first to check things our then larger orders to the point I am
spending three times what the store cost every month on parts.
more learning and selling, trading, etc. My son decides college
is a waste of time, so he starts selling parts on Ebay, we do
real well, he works a few hours a day at most, makes better
money than I did when I was twice his age. crazy world. I
start posting at SawHawgz which has a little less dickish
moderation and start learning what other saw guys are looking
for in parts, etc. Sell to a steady group of local guys and pro
or semipro builders and plenty of hobbiest guys. I Give ASite
another shot, some wheat amongst the chaff for sure. Cut4Fun
gets hold of me again and it occurs to me I should have looked
into his site long ago. So here I am.
I am a dealer for Farmertec, Meteor, Caber, Walbro, Zama, Bing,
Tillotson, Oregon and my Stihl dealer likes me (or my money)
enough that I can get Stihl parts for guys wh odon't have a good
local dealer. Not cheaper but at least can get them what they
need in a lot of cases.
so that is about the size of it
I do not have inventory of cool old stuff, but a couple of times
a year I visit an old man who is a time capsule of Poulan,
Homelite, Mcculloch parts and knowledge, no fax, no computer,
just hundreds of drawers and shelves of NOS parts that he last
inventoried and priced in the mid 1980's. If you need some
unobtanium for an old saw, put the part numbers in order and get
them to me. He does it all by hand so no jerking him around if
you say you want it and he has it, it is time to pay up. I make
nothing on it, he has offered to sell to me a few times, but I
just really like to work on Stihls so the rest isn't as
interesting to me.

Welcome to the site.
If you decide to change the heading let me know to like CCC or
full name etc.
Great to have a local Ohio connection to some stihl parts
especially.
Hope you find it very rewarding here. Hope you share some of
that knowledge with us too.
Also what was the link to your website again?

Welcome Dave. Enjoyed my visit to your shop a couple years ago
when you were having a sale. I bought a Oregon 511A. I lived out
on Broad St back in the late 60's.

Welcome to the site Dave my friend. I'll have another list of
old part #'s for you soon. Poulan and Mac this time. Thanks
again for hooking me up with those Homelite parts, and for all
the other cool stuff you've sent my way.
I changed the title of your thread to reflect the name of your
site (whether you like it or not).8)
Also put your store page and eBay store links into your first
post, so folks here can see what you have to offer. Harvested
them from you sig line on SH. I'll refrain from (once again)
giving you grief about your bias towards the Stihls (for now).:D

Ok 66Mag were you with your son and trying to decide if the auto
advance thingamabobber was worth a try? I had 2 grinders and a
crappy memory.
My memory sucks, I honest to god keep a cheat sheet of guys I
know online, cause when you meet them in real life it is a
little surreal.
I barely remember duke and john and I have met them in person
multiple times :)

There were two of us there. You had a GB and a Oregon grinder. I
bought the Oregon 511A. Probably should have bought them both?
The other guy was a friend (Carbine). i got grand kids older
than he is. He bought some patches and a hat or something from
you.

yeah yeah ok you would say things casually about saws like all
the world already knew and I would stand dumbfounded and
slack-jawed at the knowledge bombs:) There were a few guys like
you who I wish I had the time to sit around for hours soaking it
in. I remember Gary was like that (guido Salvage) he ran around
from area to area item to item with almost a running commentary
on everything his glance fell upon.
If I remembered half of what I heard in those few days I might
be a little more than the half wit I am.
Your buddy was oogling a logmaster maybe??
