completely justifiable to me. i mean, who can pass up a decent saw going cheap?

Well? It's just a shame to see a saw that's perfectly useable, just neglected and gross looking:msp_wink:
I don't run much but the big saws, but the little ones are always jumpin up and down sayin' ME, ME, ME!!!! when I head out to cut... :hmm3grin2orange:
 
Just for grins, checked the compression on the wrist sprainin' 962.:msp_tongue:

Bone stock P&C. I think the piston would surely hit the head if the base gasket was removed.

Here she is... Took it apart and scraped all the nasty out... Hosed the whole thing off in the parts washer. All in all, I think it cleaned up pretty nice for a "disposable" plastic saw...:msp_tongue: The boy sure likes it... The carb had to be taken apart and cleaned, but at least it has a high and low adjustment and takes to setting "OK"...
A quick muffler modification and we got us a pretty good runner!!!
 
Finally got this later addition to the family up & running this week. Luckily, there were two at the yard sale, had to turn 1 into a parts donor saw. Other than a few misc nuts, bolts & a cover or two, all I have done so far is ALOT of cleaning, dressed the bar, & sharpen the chain. Probably need to check seals, gotta prime the carb to get it going first thing. The neighbors are so proud of me for this one!!:hmm3grin2orange:

It may have been nasty, but it looks like you did good on that JD! I think those were made by Effco, which are a far cry from "Disposable" saws. Now if it was in "Woodshark" or "Wild Thang" green, those would be boat anchor material!!

I wish it was an Efco...:hmm3grin2orange: I believe this model was made in the Homelite plant for Deere. :msp_rolleyes:
