Hello Guys,
I recently bought this 51 for my father to replace one of the saws that were stolen from him late last fall. By the time that I found and completed the deal on this saw, my father had already begun to replace the stolen saws with his insurance money. I already have a nice 55 so it would be redundant for me to keep this 51 and there are some other saws that I have an interest in. I bought the 51 from well know and well respected member Howard @Hows57. Before selling it to me, Howard had gone through the saw, trimmed the limiters and added a new air filter and .325 7pin rim. I ran the saw one time to tune it for the east coast/my elevation and it runs great as expected. The saw will come with two bars and chains. A new Husky 18” .325 .050 bar & used chain (bar was only used for tune cuts and the chain is ¼ used and sharp) and a Husky 20” .325 .050 bar & used chain (bar is true and has been refinished and the chain is ½ used and sharp). If someone is interested in PHO, we can work that out too.
There is some very light vertical scoring on the left side of the piston, but the machine marks are still clearly visible as are the manufacture stamps on the piston crown (the large vertical line on the piston face is the sun’s reflection). There is no transfer and the cylinder looks perfect from both sides. Cold Compression is at 140 psi and my gauge reads about 7-10 psi low when compared to other people’s gauge readings on my saws. There is a small amount of chain rash on the lower corner of the case/guide and a small amount of exhaust pitting on the clutch cover. Otherwise, the saw is in pretty nice shape overall. I am asking $325 (with the bars & chains) and I will split the shipping costs to the lower 48. I paid more than $200 PHO w/coast to coast shipping costs. So with the added bars & chains and splitting the shipping costs, I am not profiting on this saw, but rather passing along the same great deal that I received. I have a lot more experience at buying saws than selling them, so if you have any questions- don’t hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Scott
