Definitely not a saw but cool. Picked up an old Billy Goat backpack blower couple weeks ago. Originally was going to buy echo weedeater ($15) and he had the blower ($15) so I got both. Came with the two tube attachments. Got a manual from some company in NJ (windmill?) Has a Kawasaki 3.8hp engine. Mixed some fresh gas (25:1) and it screams! Have to make me some bigger straps though

definitly a you suck find for that price!! 
Hello everyone! This is my first post. So what better place to post but in the "you suck" thread. I got less than $50.00 in every thing. The pics may suck so I'm sorry ahead of time. Can anyone tell me about that Craftsman saws? Not sure if the John Deere 80ev runs yet? Got the cs 702 evl for parts and I think it has a 24 in. bar. Also need a bar for that homelite Textron xl. Hard to find!Attachments

I think most, if not all the saws in my profile pic qualify for this. The 064 on the mill and 044 were both bought from the same guy for $75, both were in need of new pistons. The 036 was bought new by my father some time back in the 90s and given to me 2 years ago. Bought the 028 super for $20 at a yard sale, needing a fuel line. Got the 026 for changing an injector pump on an 85 Ford diesel (one hour job.) The Homelite 550, 360 and Husky 262 came from a rental/repair shop for $50 for all. The 550 needed nothing, the 360 needed a new carb boot, and the 262 needed a new piston. The last two on the list, the PM 55 and Homelite 410 were given to me by my wife's grandfather.

If the JD 80ev doesn't run I know @Jackofall was looking for a starter for his 750

Wondering why this 2017 thread does not take the place of the 2016 sticky thread??????
Freebe from BIL checking out the metal pile at the town transfer station and 2 from a friend.
Starting from rear then L-R: McCulloch 15, poulan 2150, ?John Deer 2BV blower, Homelite 150, Poulan 31, craftsman&poulan ES300,
2 Eager Beaver2.0, McCulloch RC2.1 (MAC 3516), Husqvarna 41, Shindaiwa 450. Not in pix later type Tecumseh 5hp horizontal shaft.
Everything seems to have compression. Homelite 150 and 1 of the McCulloch EB .20 run... Will eventually be adding them to my photo albums.

The 2 craftsman are in the poulan"micro" family. If they had E-10 in them, the fuel lines, carb kit and the crankcases oiler check valve assy behind the clutch are often dead. Nice saws when maintenance is kept up and you avoid e-10 like the plague. Chain oiler check valves are almost unobtanium and often require custom rebuilds.
