Bump!

 

[stihlboy]

Well guys, here's the deal. I have some friends that have fallen on very tough times. Bob and Kate are like parents to me. They were not able to have kids, they consider me a son. Over the years they have helped my family and I in many ways. Bob recently had major heart surgery and a pacemaker installed. Kate is diabetic and has other issues also. They are getting buried in medical bills and are having a very tough time. Bob already sold most of his possessions to raise money. Now it's come down to him selling some of his firewood that he heats the house with. (I can restore his pile easy enough.) Secondly we have another very good friend, a single mom with an autistic child. She recently lost her job and is having a tuff time.

My desire to help my friends outweighs my checkbook. I decided to put my favorite saw up for a fundraiser. Here is the link when I completed the saw - http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=142517
I will divide the money raised from this fundraiser between these two families the best I see fit. I will deeply miss this saw, but I believe it will bring a smile to the winners face, and the money raised I know will bring a smile to my friends faces. To me that's a win win situation.
Donations will be $10 each. Each donation will give you another chance at the saw. Fred (stihlboy) has agreed to be in charge of name keeping and drawing the winner. Thank You Fred!! We did not decide on a drawing date yet. We are thinking of letting it run a few weeks or so (maybe new years day).
Please do not make a post yet until Stihlboy gives the details.

A couple recent pics of the saw I took today. I has not had more than 3 tanks through it. Basically the same condition as the link above.... but with a little dust/bar oil on it now.

If there is interest, and it'll bring donations up, I'm willing to put in this XL12 into the raffle. Its in really nice condition, I think it was put away for lack of spark. So it needs a new fuel line, and has a no spark condition.

If you'd like a 3rd place prize I have a decent looking Homelite Zip I'd be willing to donate. It's complete and good shape, the outer part of the "muffler" was lost years ago, and one was fabricated up. Besides that it's a good clean saw, it's been sitting a while so I'll go through and do a full service on it before it leaves.

Ok guys- here's another prize for this fundraiser. Now before you guys look at the pics and go "Oh yeah, another ho-hum saw..." I have to tell you, this isn't an ordinary 257.

For starters, it has a new 262XP cylinder, piston, rings, and crank. It has a good used 262 ignition and flywheel. I went through this late last year and split the cases; it has new main bearings, seals, gaskets, and fuel system. However, it's not a 'true' 262 conversion because it still has the 257 carburetor and clutch. This saw has a lot of new parts and I have a lot of money and time invested in it. It comes with a nice 16" Windsor bar and two new Stihl 23RSK chains (It's set up for .325" because I don't have any 3/8" bars in this mount.) The Stihl 23RSK chain is the full-chisel, non safety chain.

The cylinder has some mild porting and port dressing inside and the piston has had some work. Needless to say, it runs fine. I think the winner will be happy with it. It does look good. The only thing this saw is missing is the brake band, so the chain brake does not work. The brake handle is new.

Yep, that is the only way I surf AS...I hang out in several forums as do several others...The only way to keep it at the top of the New Post search is to bump it...

Bumping stickies is like bumping........?

I think that's the whole reason they're made a sticky! They stay on top of the forum.

BTW....what does ttt mean?

Ya, I figured. I got a real nice 257 here. But not worth it to ship that sucker over there.
