Buy them yet, I may be interested in one to help recoup your dollars, not that a man of your means is worried about such a pittance as $400.

I'm going to watch to see if he bumps that listing, heck I might even call since I'm going to be 'relatively close to' Mongomery several times this week. According to Acres' site the basic Indian Thunderbolt is 6.45 cubes, so it might be worth having, but only for way less than $300.00. I'm guessing that West Bend engine parts are available with some searching.

They're cool saws, but the most I'd give for one of those is about $90-100 for a pristine specimen. They use a West Bend industrial engine based on the 700, but it's sort of a de-tuned 700. It's the 700 with a shorter stroke. The engine itself is not really a good runner although it can be made to be a good runner with a lot of work and some parts.
These folks are making it hard for me to complete my 750 project......... Up to $295 now

Thomas,
Did you get those Poulan 405s? What kind of shape were they in?

I did.
Great shape cosmetically, he was using them on a mill. One was missing the filter and judging by the amount if sawdust in the intake and the 90psi compression reading I'd guess he ran it like that. The other read 150psi and should be a decent runner. I haven't had a chance to fire it up yet, though.
Pics are in the Pioneer thread.

Who's stupider--the seller for not taking the $300 or the would-be buyer offering $300 while saying it was worth more????
BTW, read the Mark Twain quote in my signature below.
Me. I'd settle for one.:frown:

nice looking saw. If he wont ship and someone wants it, call me at 304.669.5227 and I can pick up and ship to you. Is 500 too much?

To rich for my blood. I would maybe consider $350 to $400 depending on what shape it's in.

.... and earlier today I was tempted by the thought of asking if you'd go grab them .... I hope you get 'em!

Nice looking saw but I would not offer more than $100 because it is still just a AH-47 engine.
