Well I am sure yall know the ole saying, even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while........? Well I don't have picture proof but I found one today in the oddest place. Ptjeep is a member here, but doesn't post much. He is into any kind of antique tooling, such as anvils, vises, cross cut saws, etc.. Well I told him about a farm I used to work on when I was growin up, and he asked if they would care if we hunted for arrow heads. I put a call in and the ole guy said come on out and hunt all you want. Well, I remember them having a large stihl saw when I was workin down there and wanted to see if they might still have it. We walked into the little tool room right beside the milkin parlor and there wasn't even any remnants of a chainsaw or so I thought. Ptjeep said look here under an ole shelf/table sat a poulan 8500 in pieces. I retched under there pulled it out and found a flat screwdriver and took the baffle out. P&C are good :msp_biggrin:. It is complete minus some minimal hardware that I just so happen to have :msp_wink:. Well, here comes the guy who runs and manages the farm now. I ask about it and he said I would have to ask his dad about it which is who I worked for. They are father and son, but dad is semi retired. I explained to the son about tinkering on chainsaws and other small engines and he said would you care to take a look at this 028. So I don't have the saw in hand yet, but I hope to do some trading of work for the saw. :msp_thumbsup: Man I can't wait, cause it looks really good! Wish me luck.
