I've seen people pay it. It in a cheap son of a gun lol. We have metal scrap yards so I don't know if they would have saws. I'm just sitting and waiting no rush for me. I'll have my 046 here soon and it's supposed to make dreams come true.

I usually go ask them if i can look through their "dirty aluminum" pile. They usually get a couple a week when business is pretty good.

I'll have to stop by and ask next time I'm out there. Guess it can't hurt right?

 

[LonestarStihl]

I'm sure it'll just be a bunch of crappy newer Poulans that don't run more than a week

Yeah, usually the people that work there are friendly. There is one kinda near me where an guy who works there puts the saws in the office for me. He pretty much knows what kind of saws i want too.

They get a lot of those, but if you are persistent then you can get good old saws.

 

[LonestarStihl]

I'll try it when I get back. So they may have them even at just a metal scrapyard?

Maybe I can build a relationship and come out like you

In my experience once an old saw stops running for whatever reason, it gets sold for scrap metal. The saws get bought as dirty aluminum which brings more than steel so they usually get sold separately and are mixed in with the lawnmower engines, transmissions, etc.

Good to know. I'll check it out next week and see what they say

We don't have many for sale but I've seen an 880 or 2. It's a random day when a good saw is for sale. Mostly crappy Poulan saws

i know ive posted this before, but i bought this one from our scrap yard. For $2.50. It aint no homeowner clamshell either. Mag case pro construction. It looked that good to just sittin on top of the pile.

 

[hanniedog]

How hard is it to remove a little bit of carbon scoring from the cylinder?
