Well I'm thinking blonds may be more fun. I'm a bit more partial to those Mac's and have loved a few yellow Pioneer/Poulan/Partners just a bit. Though my 3100 IS without doubt my redheaded exception to that rule. Orange saws seem plasticy "disco like" to me, but man do they cut smooth and fast.

There just isn't a sound from any saw like the macs. I love their sound.

Found a John Deere model 19 that is supposedly running. Guy agreed to $40. Figure that's not a bad price. Only thing is I am probably going to have to start selling saws to help with bills for our next kiddo

Wife needs to get a second and third job to help support your hobby so you can keep your saws.

You need to hear a pioneer p65 or poulan 655 then. You can literally feel it in your feet while standing next to one

That'd be a rebadged Remington PL-5 or SL-11. Good saws.

This is what I use to true up bars... It came with a honing plate that works excellent...

Awesome! That's what I was thinking of going with, but the belt sander has greater appeal because I would be able to sand down an axe handle in like two minutes versus hours lol

I have a drill press with drum sanders for that...

Worth $40?

Absolutely! The Remington version is worth all of $40, the Deere paint adds alot to the value.

The JD adds power too. It automatically makes the saws nuts bigger

I dunno, it's really hard to beat the famous interloping idle of the Mac SP125...
