Hey guys! Its been a long minute since i was here. I had to take a hiatus for awhile saws were consuming my life lol. Im back up to about 60ish lol. Been busy as hell, with work and in the middle of totally rebuilding a 22'x28' garage that i moved on a semi trailer! When its all done ill be working like crazy there. I have been slowly goin through some saws doing total tear down and rebuilds. So far ive done a 245a ,5200, 056magnum, 076 av, echo cs3400t. I just picked up an 064 thats gonna get the treatment soon. Been fun jumping back into saw builds as of recent . Also made an investment on an old 2 ton chevy tilt cab, gonna turn it into the mega log and firewood hauler.

I was given some old saws by a friend who was cleaning out his shed. I have no idea their condition other than they now are in my shed with “my” saws. I will never work on them so if there is someone reasonably close will give them a good home, PM me. I’m in the Trenton Ontario area.

Alright guys, what do you think?

Roper made Craftsman 3.7 Saw runs great once you get it started but it is like 20 pulls to get it going for the first time each day. Stiff diaphragm probably?
Clean the carb real well and put a new kit in, that`s a given with a saw that old.

Remington with roller nose bars would be a bonus. Take one with good compression and spark--clean tank,new fuel line and full kit in carb. Run-cut and enjoy new hobby-David--Southwest Ga.:drinkingcoffee:

I hate to ask what you were doing but you do know we don't kick the tires on trucks anymore when we go look at them.--------------------No--Dr. thinks femur may have been weakened from past break--37 years ago--Basically standing up flat footed slight bend at knees and it broke... Yea a lot of our truck drivers kicking tires at fuel pumps every day--old timers using there tire thumping clubs---foot problems down the road for sure--David--- How is your work and health-family doing--well I hope!!

Thanks for starting the thread Kinsie! You have inspired me to dig my 1977 Craftsman out of the back of the shop. It’s nothing close to being as cool your Homelite though.
