I just pulled my 3 out of the box. They look new. They pull over with high compression, have the owners manual, but one of them was missing the file. Will load pictures asap. They came in the factory boxes and packaging. :msp_w00t::msp_w00t::msp_w00t:

going to keep them away from the wild things for a while, these seem to have a lot more compression.

I didn't look for the file yet, must be in the box. Original as well. Also got mine for 35.00 they were on sale. I'm tryin to get the wife on board for another.
How does this sound? But, baby what if two diferent people need to borrow saws at the same time? I'm gonna try it.
Nick.
 
You guys do know that it isn't possible to manufacture a chainsaw and ship it across the ocean and sell it for $40 or $50 at a profit?

The person these are sold by is the manufacturer...check the paypal account name is adarondiack or something....that company name is the ones who make this and other brands.
 
eBay My World - sellingitasis
This is who I bought mine from. Who is the other seller?
I looked Ardisam who manufactures them (I think) but I can't see the connection

Never mind I looked at their PAYPAL account like you said

Man I should learn how to read

Apparently I need to learn to read, you are right it is ardisam...I think they have a warehouse full of em and they are selling them off. That is why it is as is, because they don't want to spend the time to go through all of them to see what is what. I think they are floor demos from sears or something as this one appears to be a sears special. Still 35.00 on ebay though, and free shipping!

Mine had Sears tape all over it :msp_wink:
 
hard to imagine that you could do much to a $35 saw that would be cost effective except running it into the ground...wear out the bar and chain and you have broke even....maybe have some fun with porting and such.....:msp_w00t::msp_w00t:

True, true. I didn't explain my thoughts well. Will be fun to play with for a cheapie.
 
I am missing 1 chain file...:msp_angry:...better go look under the tabs in the bottom of the box....:msp_w00t: oh O.K. its not a Stihl but it might be as good as a Poulan...and that is very good if maintained...

Good night there stephen...that's like the third post on the phantom file...if you want, you can have mine:cheers:

BTW for those that have followed this thread, I will whine a little more about my scored cylinder with 125psi in another post:laugh:
 
Joe...was that a 38cc saw with the scored cylinder? The file isn't a big deal, I was suprised to get one in the first place. The scrwench is a much higher quality than I got with my last chicom saw.

Yeah it was, but the thing was not used....go figure? No saw dust, no wood chips or anything. Also, 125 psi at 5000ft is really good (140 at sea level)for these. That thing is a runner for sure.

I bought a certified refurbished 435 recently that got sent back cause the compression was 100 and the cylinder looked awesome!

Gotta get me more of these quakies to cut down all the dead quaking aspens around here:msp_thumbsup:
 
I will do a comp test on mine in the morning and post the results...don't want to walk thru the snow in the dark to get the gage out of the barn tonight....all mine seem very strong but the pull test isn't very accurate.

Yeah the pull test is kinda odd....also, the coil spring pack on these is kinda wonky and seems to maybe skip sometimes...when that breaks I will use my drill:laugh:
 
well guys i have some bad news,,, real bad news,,,, a guy came into the shop 2 days ago needing a saw real bad,, he didn't have any money so he wanted to trade me 2 compound bows and a hard case,, well the bows where not the real expensive ones but they where in good shape,, i looked them over,,i used to bow hunt,,, and went ahead and traded him,,, i turned around yesterday i sold the bows to a woman and doubled my money,, now i am getting ready get me another one, more then likely it will be the 38cc'er
