090 for the 24'procut

[jeffyg]

had to share this.... just scored a 090 in good shape for 20bucks

had it sitting in his shed for the past 10-15 years, 36"bar ripping chain on it

stopped by my friends place on the way home (couldnt wait to get home) to see if i could get it running... tanks were bone dry... tossed in some fuel and oil. good compression... started on the 5th pull.. woohoo this thing is a monster!

ill have to take it apart and give it a good cleaning but you can tell this tank wants to cut.

another addition to the collection i guess! ill see if i cna get a picture up

[jeffyg]

havent had a chance to blow the dust off it just yet

 

[mtngun]

Not bad.

 

[rayvil01]

That may be the best saw deal I've ever seen.

And, it started! Impressive.

Good score!!! You're gonna love it, they are about the easiest saws to work on, total strip down in about 30 minutes. Get a flywheel puller from your local stihl dealer and hunt up some spare points and condensers for the future. Just bought a loop of ripping chain for a 37" bar (down here in Vanc) and it ran me just over 3 times what you paid for the whole thing... fr#!&in awesome!

 

[jeffyg]

so i scored another 090 last night, this one was a bit more money (150) and its in great shape ... except for a crack in the crank. electronics, cowlings, etc etc all good. the real reason i bought it was for the spare parts.. and the cannon 48" bar and new loop of chain and 2 new spare tips for the bar. ill get some pictures up in a week when i get home from xmas trip.

there are tonns of big saws sitting in people sheds around here from the falling days long past, i suppose the proper thing to do would be to buy them all up?

not interested in shipping across the border but if anyone in western canada is looking for a big saw i might have something for you.

so far i have got an 066(mint), 090(great) 090(not running but with great spares) husky 181 (great firewood saw) ... all for 500 bucks.

lots more i have come across in the 3-400 range

should i buy them all?

 

[funky sawman]

Heck yea buy them all, DO IT, JUST DO IT:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[splitpost]

NW BC .... Terrace ....Rupert way? Do tell pls

Probably Terrace. BC Timber had a huge operation there,, some where I have pictures of many acres of logs decked on the lava beds near Aiyansh.
Lots of big trees to.
It is all gone now.
