Oiler and switch are also missing but it looks nice.
When all the extra people empty from my house I think I'll start a few saws just to hear them, music to my ears

Who needs a kill switch, just put how much gas in it you think you need.

Those look nice, rear handle looks kind of out of wac on the left one near air cleaner cover. Other than that, nice looks bunch.

Steve

Was wondering about that too.

He has a bunch of saws FS. But nothing I am interested in.

The earlier model saws with the tube in the lower rear handle vs the extension nut in the middle are about 3/16" longer from the throttle lock switch to the AF cover.

I'm guessing the LH half of the rear handle bar is from an older model

The mount tube?

Love the cup.

The mount tube?

Lower rear handle AV mount. The older saws had a tube in the middle of the handle between the AV mounts with a long through bolt and a securing screw on the other side. The newer ones had a hex extension nut in the middle with a shoulder bolt on each side. The tube and the extension nut held the steel cups on the inside of the AV mounts in place.

Hope that explains it.

That's what I thought you meant,I could see those have the hex tubes.

Where did you find a cup like that. Thought of having a picture like that put on a spare tire cover.

Bought this 306A off of eBay for $90.. Didn't run. Put a carb kit in it and now it runs like it should.
Got a video with the stock cast iron muffler and a video with a tin muffler from a 245 - for all you Original Texas Chainsaw fans...

Never liked the movie, Freddie Kruger would cut him up with his Ginsu knives.

Does anyone ever check for crankcase leaks when they buy a used saw off the bay. Most the time all I hear is, I installed a carb kit and replaced the fuel lines. Wonder how many are a time bomb waiting to lean out and take out the p and c.

Just about anywhere that does photo stuff. Walmart and Costco are two that come to mind.

I'd show you the other side but you might turn to stone because it isn't green.

Won't hurt my feelings, I've got a few yellow ones.

Have not checked that saw in particular for a crankcase or crank seal leak... It idles the same at any angle, starts easier than any of my McCullochs, great throttle response, Idles for a long long time... Not too worried about it... Me and my McCulloch's have not gotten along too well when it comes to crank seals... Common theme with them suckers.. Unless I've ran into a streak of bad luck!!
