Letting a 850 go as well huh? Again I am tempted......

I've got doubles of alot of saws, so they are going out the door to pay for more HP for my 5.0 explorer. That 850 is simply awesome!

Pretty sure that's an AS member selling it ..

Thanks for the bids buddy!

A SP 81, PM 700, and a 10-10S are next. It will be a week or so on those though

What do you guys think of this deal? Assuming I would have to pay to have the work done, would I be better off buying a new/running saw?

depends
why did it "go out"
what "went out"
you'd have to buy b&c
why don't you build it

To rich for my blood, probably has a cheap knock-off top end and another $100 for a bar/chain. Not to mention the old top end may be scored which could lead to replacing the seals and possibly the bearings. I am willing to bet someone here would give you a much better deal.

 

[Raganr]

I called the guy, said the piston was scored. It has been up for a while. What would you consider a good price for just the saw (no rebuild kit).

I would try and fix it myself, but if I get stuck and need help, I dont want to be upside down.

This would mostly be a saw to learn on.

Welcome to A.S.

F.Y.!. - this is a great site to ask for opinions, but if the saw is a really good deal, and you post a link with the phone number, it could be gone before you go back for it.
You might want to post your question in general terms. This thread is more of a 'here it is - go for it if you are interested' type place.

Thats an expensive project to learn on, but that said, also a fairly easy saw to rebuild.
I think a good condition powerhead is worth $650+ running with an OEM top end.
If you pay $400 for the saw and pray you don't need to replace the crank or cylinder, you might have a good deal.
Stripped down, you could make that back on parts alone.

If you want it, as said above, you better jump quick!

Not sure what it is but I am fairly sure it is not a 125, starter is on the wrong side.

Even $400 is too much for that saw, I paid $250 for a 660 with a burned up top end and I feel that was only a fair deal,
it had a decent bar on it too. I would wait for a better deal.

I'm thinkin' you'd be much better off buying some cheap saw with readily available parts to practice on, then move on to a high dollar saw like this once you have your rebuild skills down. Just my .02.

Good advice!

It takes me about 25 minutes to drive to La Porte (that's where I bought my Poulan 5400 & SD25A), but I don't go behind folks backs to buy saws and/or parts. Some folks around here will.

There were tons of those built, one was even something like 105cc. One feller told me that the reason you find so many in very good condition is because you could never keep the things running. I have also been told they were popular with slaughter house because they use no oil system on the blade.

EDIT:
Looks like the GS4520 was one of the 74cc versions, at least that is what Acres claims.

Looks like the larger version was 115cc

[Roanoker494]

Thought about buying one, or all, of these myself. These will fit the 365-372 chainsaws and make it 75cc but I read the port timing is different which causes the powerband it hit at a low RPM.
