I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

1972 Dodge Swinger, 6 cyl, auto, offered as complete parts car, no title,$572.72 | eBay

Anyone want to ship this for me?? :msp_biggrin:

If I were closer I would be all over this one, though the rust around the rear window is reason for concern.

Turn it into a convertible!

Are the Poulan 2300 CVA saws worth a darn? I have a chance to pick one up cheap on Craigs list within walking distance of my house. My first chainsaw in 1990 was a small Poulan and I was interested in picking one up.

I had a few spare $$$ through the last month, and with the busted leg no chance of cutting wood. So it left me lots of time to peruse CL, well I couldn't find anything of interest. The spare money was bled down, my leg is healing to where I can walk on it, and there are now a few saws of interest out there................WTF!!!!:msp_angry:

---lack of money sucks..so you got to get good at hoss trading. Most CL ads though, they want money.

Just finished a 3400 today, got that trading. got another like it, and three others, two macs (new cheapies) and an old craftsman/poulan top handle waiting under the bench, all hoss trading. I have to do that more than outright buy, because I *barely* can afford cheap parts like fuel lines and so on.

And why the HECK does that stuff cost so much? Little cheap plastic tubing, dollars per foot. Nuts.

There has to be some other industrial plastic tubing that would work, just not being sold as "fuel line".

--go ferit, why not? If it is cheap enough, fun to get it going then go cut some small stuff.

You can run it by the smart guys on the poulan sticky as well. From my POV, most any of those older poulans seem to be quite nice saws.

Yes, and I want one. Great little saws. Check the a/v mounts carefully, as I believe they are NLA.

Interesting Chainsaw auction

View attachment 215419I found this listing on ebay today. Now this is a cleaver mod. EnjoyView attachment 215419


Stihl Chainsaw Capstan rope winch | eBay

Just for the record I have no affiliation with this auction.

 

[sefh3]

That's alot of cash for an 021 with a winch on it.

FYI there is a thread in the Stickies where this should be posted.

I don't understand why someone would list a saw with no description of the condition of the actual saw, and use photos that make most folks question the condition of the saw. And according to the listing title the saw "runs great."

Funny!

Look at the photos and wonder WHY they have is listed as 'Used' and not 'For parts / not working' ...

Gotta tell you though, that broken plug wire is the deal killer for me!

stihl 020T, MS200T, 034 - worthington, oh - auction
THREE STIHL CHAINSAWS - GovDeals.com

 

[FGZ]

Good Deal?

Stihl MS362, 20" bar, 6 mos old. ~3 tanks of gas through it by a 60 yr old original owner who decided it was more saw than he wanted. Asking $500.

Sounds like a $689 saw for $500, which would mean it's a pretty good deal. What do you think?



(I would link it, but I'd also like first shot at it. Also, I have a thread about this but it's pending mod approval because that's how n00bish I am)

Price seems a little high, but Stihls do have good resale value. FWIW, it doesn't matter if you don't post a link because if some of the saw vultures here want the saw, and it's listed on the net, they'll find it.

Agree, I think even I could find this one and I'm not THAT good at stalking.

Maybe I can get a little better price since my drive time is around 3 hours round trip just to go get it.

POST links and pictures AFTER you have the saw in your hands or you'll never make it there before they do!

chain saw homelite super xl 57cc engine 20" bar

That SuperXL is sweet.

Yeah, it's a beauty. A little spendy though.

So I went, and looked at this saw...............suffice it to say the pictures do it way to much justice.
It's a very poor repaint with chips, and burrs painted over, paint drips on the cylinder fins, overspray on the muffler. The seller said it was original paint.........?
The guy asked me if I knew how to start it, I said I sure do, and he told me he'd put some more fuel in it because there wasn't enough in it (yeah he left fuel in it since he got it a few months ago). It fired up after about 10 pulls, but would sputter when I pushed the choke in. So I fired it up again, and ran it at half choke, pushed it in, and it died.
The seller started it, and started messing with it when I noticed that the muffler bolts were different( a hex head, and a phillips head machine screw)? Then I noticed the muffler cover was cracked at both places, and the +head was spinning CW and then CCW.
I pointed this out to the seller, and he said "Oh, wow I didn't even notice that" yeah right.

I believe there is an expression involving a pig and lipstick that would apply nicely......LOL!!!!

Kinda spendy for an XL, isn't it?
