I was happy to do the work for him. He has helped me out numerous times. Gladly would have done it for free, but he is the kind of guy who would feel bad about that. So win win for both of us.

I'd bet you could get the Super 2 running easiest.
The Super 2 is the best looking of my other super 2s. I'm hoping it will be easy to fix.
Here is the little homelite. Looks pretty good
Here are the 350 and the Rancher 44
I've had a few of the small plastic McCulloch saws, most of them gave me fits before I got them going. Looks like your saws are fairly complete, which is good.. those 25DA Poulans are usually pretty easy also, might need a fuel line though.
I just got an old micro xxv running again. Very easy saw to work on. One of these has a manual oiler. That's a plus. I am amazed how many different versions of both the Poulan 25 and Homelite xl/super 2s there are. Must be 2 very long lived saws.
I bought a new Super 2 back in the early 70s I think, probably still have parts from it. It was metal and I couldn't keep it from cracking or I would still have it. That was the only saw I had at the time..
I wasnt alive in the early 70s lol. Some of my "collection" is older than me.
I can assure you, none of my collection is older than me...

Hello all, I know this isnt a chainsaw but, I thought I would share my yard sale find, I picked up this vise on a local for sale site, well to be honest, my wife found the listing just browsing around.
A Wilton C2 made in March 1977 in pristine shape, little rust, all in working order and is complete with the exception of one pipe jaw. This thing weighs every bit of the advertised 105#! I've owned it for probably a year now but this past week I powder coated it to what I hoped was the original Chile Verde Green color. Its now back together and again mounted up on the bench. When I first saw the pictures of if online I knew exactly what it was and we rushed down to meet guy selling it. It turns out it has a story with it. It was used in the maintenance shop by the sellers father in our local lumber mill now a much smaller scale operation.
Needless to say, I gladly paid him the asking price of $20!
If anyone has the pipe jaw and are willing to part with it I'd like to buy it from ya.

Nice job on the powder coating. That vise is a real quality piece equipment. It sure didn't come out of an import container at the Long Beach docks.

Looks like it has a lot of new stuff on it. Bet it's not a $10 saw now! Mine doesn't look nearly that good and I have over $100 in mine...Yeah, you really suck.
How'd you score that for $10?
Oh, yea, pics, I forgot.
