so you would leave it sit on a shelf till you passed or would you just flip it?It has different sticker on it the box texas ....the saw shreveport usa there is a bar code from some one the man bought it from with a number i call them his wife said he bought it and passed away it had been in the box like that and i believe her....and i see a bar code that says canada but is covered by tape when i try to remove the tape it starts to peel it the booklet the number 530-083691-04/27/95.... the side sticker makes me think its at least 1996? so why would you not run it?just for resale value?

Has nothing to do with resale value or $$ , Unused is only once, more of a display item & history piece

Rub some wax on it and fog the motor. Those exist now preserve them .

A old, new in the box, I would never run, even if it was 8500. Maybe replace the lines but preserve the saw. Lightly lube the cylinder and crankcase and re-grease the chain pulley bearings. It would be for admiring only and for who ever to see. Once it gone, no more bringing it back. Just save what few that are left, new in the box. I won't be using my 5200 much, when I do, it will be babied.

be hard not to fire them up.....maybe i should not do the fuel lines....

 

[stubnail67]

I see all these collections people loved get sold off after they are dead and gone ...It makes it hard to not fix the fuel lines and fire it up.....My son is pretty cool though he is 11 and loves everything i own....maybe i will do the lines and leave them to him....to late to decide why i never did the lines on the one.... i knew if i did .... i would have to fire it up....

 

[Todd Loosli]

Once you fire it it's just another saw that was new at one time. It's your saw you enjoy it however you want. Take care my friend

 

[s sidewall]

Well, in you're case, a nib saw, leave the fuel lines like they are. It should kill the temptation of firing it up when you want.

Oh Steve , would that be called a new in box with questionable fuel lines ?

Rebuilding my XXV micro and forgot how easy it is to dump the needle bearings. I remember now. I managed to find 12 and reinstall. Us that the right number?

 

[Todd Loosli]

For the rod big end, yes 12 is good

 

[jerrycmorrow]

Yeah thats what im talkin bout. Thanks much

 

[s sidewall]

Well, the fuel lines would still be considered new, never had fuel in them, but questionable of condition.

Thought I would show you the new hardware I got in March. I'm sure there is a chainsaw in there somewhere

Looks like my neck feels.

Looks like something I need to have done to my lower back but not in no rush. I'll keep using my TENs unit when I do something stupid so I can bear the pain.

I had to do something, my legs would go to sleep and I couldn't walk. Got a good report from the Dr today I'm up to 50# limit now and I can ride the atv if I'm carefull and go slow. I'll take it

Dang that is a lot of crap to have in your back.

Todd, that is scary, that looks very unorthodox and uncomfortable, you really wanted to keep cutting I guess, I got cold chills looking at that
