...Also big news was at the flea market, a kid around my age saw me holding those two saws and asked if I collected saws. Of course I said yes, and he said that his dad has about 20 or so saws that have been hanging in the shed for the last 20 years or so and would like to get rid of them. He himself also has some even older saws that he has worked on that he would be willing to toss in. Gave him a card, so fingers crossed I will be getting a call at some point!!!

Wow. Hope that works out for you!

So I have the 266xp with me. They asked me to look at it and see how bad it is and if I can figure it out. I'm about to eat dinner then pull the muffler right quick...I'll try and take some photos to share

Thanks! It would be very nice, but I would run into a storage constraint very quick. But that's what you guys are for, to buy a couple off of my hands right. [emoji6]

Well I didn't cut or run a saw today, dad said we'll start cutting next Saturday cause I had to work today. But I did pull some big tree limbs out of a tree and broke some off with the tractor and 100' of cable. Will have to cut those up next Saturday also.

Ok here we go with a Mac 250 and a parts saw of a mystery 1-?. Someone tell me which model it is please. The 250 is complete, minus the air filter so far, and both seem to have good compression. The more I researched it, the more I am falling for the 250. Dang it! I saw these at the flea market and couldn't walk fast enough. Now I can officially join the big cube Mac club. Can't wait to get into them. Also, where are the model no/ serial no on these saws? I can't believe it would just be on the air filter cover.

Look on the bottom of the crankcase for stamped model #. I have a couple of 250's and a 1-41 that runs like a small sewing machine( large rotating mass makes it smooth ) Well made -need a sprocket then into the wood.--David

Just holding those two for the rest of the walk made my arms start to go numb lol. Can't imagine running it for a whole day doing more than bucking. Those old timers were real men.

Y'all don't know how happy I am with the Mac! Part of me still refuses to believe that I have it. Yes I know that sounds cheesy, but I promise it's true. Another one of the symptoms of CAD.

It's ok we don't judge here. The truth is most of us have probably had that feeling with one or more saws. I know I havr

If anybody sees anything they are interested in they are all for sale. The 026 is scored and the handle part of the tank is busted, it is literally parts only.

Is that a 3400, 3700 or a 4000 Poulan, can't sale that one. That would make a nice care package for someone.
