I'm after an 890 that looks like it has 9/16'' or 5/8'' full chisel on a long bar, so for the seller hasn't returned my calls.

Was it on Craigslist? I think I saw a big Mac over that way on CL.

That is probably it, not holding much hope at this point, 3 days into it, no call yet.
4 hour round trip over bad roads.

Of course, that has to be the most frustrating thing about buying through craigslist or Facebook, then not answering.

My dad bought a homelite 700d for 6 bucks at auction last night, as well as a craftsman colored XXV. Then bought pro mac 10-10 for 25$ tonight

 

[Boomer 87]

@RandyMac, have you run a 700d much, how much power does it have for pulling a long bar?

 

[RandyMac]

Not a 700D, I do have a couple hours with my 600D, pulls better than you would think, nice balance, fair amount of vibes, very loud.
I converted to a rim sprocket, running 3/8th on a roller nose.

I got it home piston is clean not stuck and the inside of the fuel tank is clean so it looks like hell bit itll run. Also a craftsman colored micro and an echo 3400 top handle followed it home too lol

Boomer is on a roll of collecting saws I see... meanwhile I'm not adding to the collection which is just fine for me. Too many saws that don't currently run, and time and funds to fix them are limited. Also what does everyone use for crankcase splitters? I need one to do my next couple project saws unfortunately.

Finding them is just as much fun as running them for me. The thrill of the hunt lol. I missed out an a pro mac700 for 25 bucks by just a few minutes

You need to be faster! I'm going up to Hot Springs Arkansas this weekend, I hope I can at least see some cool stuff while I'm there. I don't have to buy anything, I just like the conversation lol

 

[RandyMac]

I picked up some trade fodder for the GTG.
075, 36'' roller

 

[Boomer 87]

Heres the "new" 700d she looks like hell but has all its faculties so itll run

That's sweet!

I need fence boards far more than the 075. Pulls over nice, lots of compression, tried to start, but decomp button pops out and pulled the handle through my fingers.
It does has a hole top front of recoil housing. It doesn't look like it has been fussed with.

Have a safe trip and don't buy it unless you got to have it cause your life depends on it.

Thanks, didn't see much up here. I did pick up a new knife though, Ken Onion design for Ruger/CRKT knives, the clip point is really what attracted me to this knife.

 

[brandonstc6]

This weekend I picked up 4 saws for $45
Stihl 025
Stihl 031
Pioneer 1074
Mini Mac 35
I also got a welder and a very old (1960s) variable voltage battery charger for $20 for both.

Got my 5200 going, took awhile to get the carb set, that was a pain with that compression. Also worked on a mighty mite, quick 5 minutes of work. Guy picked it up for $10.00 and couldn't start it. I added fuel and oil, dribbled a little gas in the carb and fired on third pull. Good running little saw, started on 1/4 pull when warm.
