I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

is that hose clamp the throttle lock?

Nope. That's called Canadian welding. Only for serious use. If it's something insignificant like a popped tie rod end we just use two zip ties.

Ok so this is a pretty cool saw but is a bit spendy for what it is, this is the first time I have seen one of these rebadged Poulan 306a with the Ridgid name. What I did find interesting is the description, you will have to read it to understand as I am still laughing.

Chainsaw

Anyone know what model? I kinda want the bar and chain for my Homelite, but I doubt I'll drive a couple hours to get it.

looks like a 3-25 to me.

If the bar oil runs out too fast, just use straight 40W.

10-30??? Must be a young punk with that new fangled scientifical oil, we always used straight 30 weight for mix and bar oil.

25' roll of 1/2 pitch chain

It's a little expensive, but he accepts offers and seems to be the only guy in town with chain and presets.

I thought about posting it in the Poulan thread, I may if no one has yet.

Yes, but I dont really need a second one, do I ?

Interesting that the Ridgid saws seem to be on the west coast. Well that and the Netherlands. :msp_angry:

Funny, I just saw this ad on Craigslist and went searching for more info on the saw. Wondered if there might have been some posts on AS about this model. Well what'd ya know, there's actually a discussion about this very saw and CL ad! I guess it's a small world after all!

Here is the info from acres site.
Model Profile: 306A

There is also a bunch of info in the Poulan Thread. I think the price is a bit steep for this area as I have not spent more than $50 for a good running bigger brother 245A, but I suppose if you have to have a silver one $100 would be getting close.

Husky knock-offs are better? Who knew?

This guy has been advertising these as better and more powerful. Last night's ad even went so far as to call dealers liars, but he has since toned down the rhetoric.

This one in particular looks almost exactly like the original. Wonder if he's fooled anyone yet.
