Other 125's??
I still have a spot for one

[LonestarStihl]

Listen y'all... I can't be spending money on more saws right now and these 125's are not making that easy

 

[LonestarStihl]

Maybe I could afford a really rough cosmetically one

Heck I'd take either but those don't go cheap

Scored a "You suck" Homelite at a yard sale across the street. Plus got a JD The rope is broke on the saw but I stuck a screwdriver through the outer case and the motor spins freely and has compression. Any hints or videos on replacing the pull cord ? Also check out all the original literature and the file holder and the case. Note the condition of the bar. Not used much for sure. So tell me the year made, displacement, etc. Thanks !!

Just take the price and divide it by 123 and it's pretty cheap per cc

By JD you're meaning the mower...or a JD saw? [emoji51]

JD mower with a locked up tranny but good motor. JD garden tractors are what I really waste my time on. I'm just a sucker for old 2 strokes or cheap yard sale Stihls.

Is my saw called a Homelite Super 6 ? What does the 2 mean ?

Oh I would be bad if I had more funds and storage space. Could do with one of the patio 140's and a couple of the 300-400 series.

The VI means you got the Later Vibration Isolated version.

The rope was broke off right at the knot so I just used the original as I only have on hand the next size up which won't work as the knot ends up too big. After draining out the old high viscosity gas and putting in some fresh E0/Stihl Ultra it soon ran on it's own Idles, cranks first pull, revs pretty good although I would never really lean out an old saw like this. While fixing the rope I gave it a decent cleaning and oiled the air filter. I did find a hole rubbed in the fuel tank up high. So what's it worth ????

What type of JD mower? Looks like, what I can see, a RER.

Ran one chain on the bar, only bucking, had no problem. Never did drop that last tree. We got a late start, had too many pokers in the fire today.

I'm actually working on a Saw very similar, a super XL, it has a hole high up on the fuel tank as well and I was guessing that is probably where the duckbill valve would have been since there isn't one built into the caps, and my guess on price would be around $50-$75

LT155 entry level from the late 90s early 2000s.

Don't believe this is any good, came out of the 4200. Won't be saving it for a backup. Looks like the locator pins resided to come out. Not in the crankcase and no other damage.
