I see it on ebay walkerized saw for sale. How can you tell if it really is? does walkers saw shop put stickers or engrave something to tell it's been worked on by them?

The sticker!
Really all that means is they got a sticker from Walkers. Walkers gives stickers for just muffler mods, so it doesnt mean much

Thanks Doug, but I am proud of the only pink 670 and 55 this side of the Pecos
Most of the sellers that you see with "Walkerized" saws are legit. I bought an 066 from "husky395", that was walkerized, and it turned out to be a good saw. Not as good as our resident hotsaw mechanics would produce, but a good woods saw. A couple of the big sellers are from canada and they are selling old timber fallers' saws and logging company saws, so they may be pretty beat-up. Most timber fallers are pretty hard on saws, when you're in the brush and it's steep ground, you start throwing the saw around a bit.
Be sure that's all you send him Doug (hahahahaha)!
I use and highly recommend the fine free (multiply) stuff from http://www.imagemagick.org/
I chose the default value for "hue" modification, the default value for "gamma" modification, and opted for "75%" on the "resize" value to obtain the attachment image from the original above. It looks tons better to me, but I don't know what the colors are supposed to be...

Walkerized, How can you tell? Reply to Glens
Glens, we have shared opinions on Irvanview versus Image Magic. If you look at this photo you can see all the way into the exhaust port. Your's is clearer than Doug's but I think more detail is visable with Irfanview. It is also free.

I think you are right...infact I can almost see the JBweld in the top of the exhaust port.

"Clearer", in this case, is a relative term. Making a picture clearer after it has been taken usually involves increasing the contrast. At some point, the delineation between light and dark areas becomes so extreme as to be unrealistic. Using the "Unsharp Mask" feature of PS (or similar function in other programs) is usually a given with all digital photographs as most cameras apply varying degrees of sharpening right in the camera. Many allow the user to select the amount of in-camera sharpening. As well, some digital cameras allow for using no sharpening. In this mode, most digital cameras' pictures will have a decidedly "soft" chartacter to them because of filtering used to blend individual pixels into a smooth gradation of color and brightness.
I didn't know what color to make Husky's Husky either as I didn't have a saw here to compare it to at the time, but orange is certainly different from pink, so that's what I went with. What's probably wrong with the camera he's using is nothing more than the White Balance setting. Flash is different than daylight and Auto White Balance functions on most cameras aren't really that good.
Paul, the check's in the mail; sans viruses for certain (thanks Glen).
At any rate, here's my final version of Husky's picture. This change puts the colors beyond criticism.

Sorry I turned this into a editing software thread
Doug's original revision is the closest to accurate. Glens that is a Jonsered not a Husky, otherwise you would be dead on

Oh, and as far as the JB Weld, I made the whole cylinder out of it on one of those clay pot makers from "Ghost".
The piston is Play Doh and the rod is made of welded twistie ties

Hi Tech Redneck
Hey! That's exactly what I found inside the 066 that I bought from JDHotsaw for $1500 US! It should be called JD Weld.

I have a Walkerized saw, big Kahoona actually. I sent it to get Greffardized and here's what I got back. The casing was filled with cement and JB weld.
