old saws that look new...or almost

[joe25DA]

Someone had the idea (i forgot who) to start a thread of old saws that look new. Like ones that were hardly used then put away and forgotten about. Well I have at least 3 that i think count. None have been painted or had parts replaced, just taken apart and cleaned, and one of them i just wiped down. All run, and have great compression. In other words, they dont just look pretty they are runners and dependable. Also ive used all 3. Enough intro here they are
1984 Craftsman 3.7 18" orig. B&C, easily the best of all

1985 Homelite "Old Blue" SXL, the bar is off another SXL, i have the orig 20", but it was pretty rusty so i cleaned and painted it now its on another saw, the sabre bar is cool tho.

1985 Shindaiwa 345, I saved this one from the scrap pile, wiped it down, and a carb kit. Runs mint, I use this one the most.
I'm sure alot of guys have saws much older than the eighties and in great shape. But these are my best ones...

Here is a Barker H91 i picked up a few years ago.
Has the AH81 power Products motor at 130cc's.
Built in 1962 and sold for $194.00 with 20 inch bar.
This saw has never had gas or oil. Brand new in the
original box.

Joe, I think I have a brand new 20" Homelite bar that says "Old Blue" on it! Is that what was on yours?

Here's my Sears 60051. Bought on Ebay for $40 including shp. Had to replace the piston and it runs fine. I decided to leave it alone - just a cleanup. After complaining to the seller for two months and leaving negative feedback, I got the second (new) chain as promised. That's 1/2" chain!

First nice saws guys! Mark, that countervibe is mint. And yeah the orig. Bar did say "old blue" on it! But it was rusty and loaded with dirt,I soaked it in diesel for 2 days then sanded and painted it grey.
Keep the survivors coming! They look great
