Saw shops will often throw away older smaller and mid size saws when they need any type of work.

My SEZ cost $10 and only needed a new bar.

I've seen his collection in person and it's impressive. And he's as nice of a guy as you could ever meet.

Someday I would like to see it also, I try to talk to him often and he's always super nice and super knowledgeable on whatever we are discussing, Mark is top notch.

I find that loggers destroy their saws and then rob parts off the junk ones, but the guy with the saw shop would be a good lead

im going to try and make it up there and look at the saws again, its been so long i dont remember what all he had up there, i asked him one time where he found them and he said people just bring them to him

Ya they dont mess with some for very long as a dealer you have to weigh what its worth with how long the repair will take. If they cant pencil it, It'll sit. i cant tell you how many super 25s ive gotten that needed basically nothing.

Can I be the first to say that this thread has caught fire in the last couple hours.

When the word gets out your on the look out theyll bring them to you. The green poulan 361 i posted a pic of was given to me by a dealer 30 minutes from me bc he knew i collected old poulans. It ran.

Im actually quite proud of this thread lol, it was my first thread ever posted lol

The biggest thing is going to be how long that guy has been in business, he may not only have old saws, but as discussed earlier, old parts! You'll have to ask what all brands of saws he has carried, and if there are any NOS parts left.

I thought i was crazy when i started dragging saws after saw after saw home, other people thought i was too, my wife still does. Then i found this place, then was like hey im not crazy. Were all crazy lol.

Your even in the same town as poulan was. You should be tripping over them on the sidewalk like boomer said

 

[astnmacgto]

Well I just got a low battery warning notification on my phone so that means it's bed time for me. Good luck with your frenzied saw collecting endeavors @Kensie1988

So the 925 came in today, took some photos and a few of some area of concerns.

 

[Boomer 87]

Id hafta take the clutch cover off my 923 or look at dad's 925 so know what they did under all the sealer. But it looks in decent shape love the full wrap, i wish mine had one

 

[Kensie1988]

I started breaking it down and found that the handle housing is busted in three different places including cracked in the carb housing. Probably not the best investment, but still mostly all cosmetic and easy to replace. I was more sold on it had good compression still.

give it a couple years your garage will look like this
