Just being silly. They sure weren't doin' ya much good left in the back o' the truck!
I would imagine most of us are fairly good at getting saws stuck 
You just have to get more saws, solutions gentlemen.I would imagine most of us are fairly good at getting saws stuck
I know right!
I gave the fellow 10.00 for it just to keep it out of thr scrap bin. I always think ,well I can find a needy person who can use a good saw!
I've about run out of needy people! Lol
Well done keeping that out of the scrap bin.
Yeah good save.
So in February I went through my work bench of saws that needed brought back to life. I i went through several saws, many went to great homes afterward. Yesterday I filled it up again lol. More yellow fun I am mainly a 10 series guy. the 610s will be stripped for parts. The mini's, I might make one out of the 3. I spent a relaxing Easter afternoon organizing the shop shelves today.

Nice workspace too. 
The other Supers do not have much over their counterparts, in fact the Super 797 is a step backwards with thick rings and a smaller carburetor. The Super 44 and 55 are bigger displacement (80 vs 72cc) than the regular but nothing special porting wise. The Super 10-10 is actually quite ordinary.

Read to the end of the thread and I am still laughing. Good one.
Actually I had two in my pocket, I just cut too long and moved too slow on the second cut which was purposely cut deep so I could insert a wedge to keep it open enough to finish. (Maybe I should blame Brian for furnishing me with such a quick saw.).
The cut that stuck the 1010S was just a bad assessment on my part. You need to rotate Brian’s picture to the left until the other trees are vertical to see the true lean - I should have known better. As soon as it happened I told Brian that it looked like I might be buying him a new saw. Yellow, of course.
Oddly but fortunately, the tree’s grip on the 1010S loosen during my unsuccessful attempt to wedge the 800 free.

Nice work.
The 600 Series saws are some of the easiest selling saws I have. I clean them up, replace parts as needed, and put the on a shelf with a price from $90 to $150 depending on the model and compression. If I ever get any time again I need to restock as the last one went out on Saturday.

Bought my first 610 new summer 1992.Was used as my first milling saw (underpowered for that task I soon found out) and normal firewood duty with a 24" bar.Used it & abused it for 8 long years.Sat under workbench in garage at parent's acreage,I sold it as a 'working parts saw'' on Ebay Spring 2011.
Missed the old beast,found a mint condition 1st version late 70's model with the PITA wrap around chainbrake/handguard on local Craigslist July 2013 for $40.Couldnt have had more than 3-4 tanks through it,still had factory machining marks on piston.Guessing previous owner 30 some years earlier broke the rope when trying to start it,there it sat with empty tanks all those years until I found it.
In the next few weeks after getting it saw more use than in its entire previous life.Still sees occasional use but the PM60,PM700,PM800/850 & occasionally the 10-10S are preferred for regular firewood,small/medium sized felling duty.Last June I finally replaced the wrap around chainbrake with a NOS 2nd version flag style clutch cover assembly I had saved for a while.

Years ago I was bucking uprooted yard maples with a 82cc MAC - quite possibly the PM8200 that Mark now has. Anyway, the high lift operator was attracted by the sound. Told me he uses an old MAC 650 which was the toughest and best running saw he has ever owned. I thought he was talking about a large frame, but no, it was the much-maligned 600 series.
