New 038av Magnum owner from Cordova Alabama

[Jvest18]

I’ve always liked using chainsaws since I was a kid, but I had never personally owned one myself. Couldn’t justify spending 600$+ for the saw I would like to have. (Ms362c-m) I recently found a forgotten about 038av magnum in a pawn shops back room. The owner had took it in on pawn and switched systems so the item just sat buried. I purchased it for 80$. I plan on this saw being one I can tear down and inspect/rebuild as needed so I can learn. She is probably a bit bigger than a saw I would need, but I do love that she is from the 84-89 era. I hope to get her up and running so I can put her to good use on the 5.5 acres I’m situated on.
