Guessing game STIHL what?? Yard sale find

[Greenthorn]

Picked up this saw at a yard sale today for five bucks, figured can't go wrong.
But dumbfounded as to what it is, anybody know? Found as is, was covered in inch thick of grime, cleaned - looks like 02? something.

Good news. Got it running

STEAL!!!! that's an MS260 PRO!!! $489 list price....

I'll give you $6 for it

 

[computeruser]

Geez, $5?! I'll give you ten for it, that's 100% profit right there...it'd be a good deal.

Did you get it from a woman, that was getting rid of her old man
and his stuff?

 

[Greenthorn]

Hope yer kidding me, just bought a brand new one 4 weeks ago,
I have not got started yet, but compression reads 160, head doesn't look scored, figured I'd take the carb apart, see if better chance in the morning, after soaking.

 

[Pablo26]

Wow, that is some kind of score! Yee Haw!

 

[Greenthorn]

The picture tells what I got, there is no air filter cover, no engine case cover and no clutch cover, I presume so far it is not that great of a find...untill it runs.
Actually got it from an auto parts dealer going out of business sale - so that makes me weary that someone probably already did some work to it, and couldn't get it going. How can you guys tell this is a 026 pro, I just took my covers off my new one and no matching numbers.

Gah!

Give ya 15$, lol, jk jk, what a nice (maybe) find, heya, fer 5 beans you can't go wrong, iffin it is what da boys says, hmmmm, maybe give ya 20$?

 

[RiverRat2]

You must have been a good boy all year to have Santa bring you that for $5:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[MikeInParadise]

Easiest it to just take it apart and sell the parts on E-pray or sell it to me for $25.00: :biggrinbounce2:

Ebay will get you $130 as is parts saw. Good find.
