thought there may be some appreciation for this one. My 041 crew with the new super in the group. A couple need work but they are my crew. I have a deep love for the 041. It all started with Boomer and the farm boss .

Man that full wrap is sexy!

Been looking for a full wrap for my 041S for a few years now... So far no luck.

The Homelite looks like a 150 auto, they made them in blue and red I believe, and the craftsman looks like a Roper version, can you get a pic of the recoil side?

Here is a pic from the other side...

Yep that Saw was manufactured by Roper co. I don't know a whole lot about them other than they produced some of the first craftsman saws before they started contracting out to Poulan and Homelite. My understanding is Roper made a solid Saw, I've never seen a 3.1 high performance though, so you might have a little gem there, I see a lot of those in the 3.7 version.

It looks like a pretty uncommon saw and it looks to be in good shape. I've never seen one. I'd see if I can get it cheap and get it going.

This is only the second 041 I've seen with the full wrap

Oh I got it cheap enough... haven't tried much more than a pull to get a feel for compression yet...

Well I tried to start the Craftsman 3.1 tonight.... it took four pulls to get it to run. Two tweeks to the idle screw and she was purring. The chain looks like he11 and doesn't cut for anything. The model number on the bottom is 917.353810

On Cl today, what do you guys feel is a reasonable price for a Poulan Countervibe 3400 in a supposedly running condition?

 

[Mac&Homelite]

The answer is NO I don't need any more saws, I have enough projects as already is, but perhaps I can get it for a steal. Darn CAD kicking in again.

I'd say around $40 running maybe? But I'm not a Poulan guy so it'd have to be free lol. I traded mine to Cody

Am I out of my mind if I offer $10 or so? They are asking $100 obo, but it looks like it's seen quite a few better days.

I highly doubt they will accept if they are wanting that much to start but worst they can say is no

I'd say you should be fine getting it for $50-$75 depending on condition.

That's the Stihl price go 60.00 if it's Green

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Lol guys, about the only way I'm getting another saw right now is if it falls into my shed. Also can't justify any more in that cc range.

I've sworn off buying any new saws for now unless it's a must have on my list at a steal of a price.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Think I will give it a week, and if it is still there give them an offer. Hopefully it goes because I need more running saws, and less money pits.

Oh, so no "new" saws, just used ones right? All in the wording, but GF/wives strangely don't see it the same way.
