Got this 338xpt yesterday at an auction for $85. Cleaned it up and runs great. Planning on .ounting it on my s x s to cut limbs and trees out of the trails.View attachment 661927 View attachment 661928

Is that a Made in Sweden saw? Or, is it a Made in Japan? I've got a Japanese made Husky top handle. Runs really well.

What's the third filler cap for? The one on the front above the bar?

 

[rbeggs]

Its a Swede saw, what you see above the bar is the knob for the air filter cover.

Cool. Most filters are at the back on the top handle models. How do you like it?

 

[AlfA01]

Better fix that signature .

I done fixed-ed it. There were a few other additions to the family I had for got to update as well.

I love it so far, it's awesome when you wish you had a certain something and then you stumble upon exactly what you wanted AND its cheap! Haha

Got this lot a few weeks ago $160. Most were straight gassed or spark issues . Got a couple done and am building a 029/039 big bore with a pop up piston .


Then I got these cases free after a sale. Score.

I scored a Pro Mac 10-10 today. The guy on Craigslist wanted $40 for it but I told him I'd give him $50 if he held it for me since I had to drive to Portland for it. It fired on the 6th pull and ran on the 7th. Revs well, settled to a stable idle.....I'm pleased!

Just got this today. Older property owner used it to cut one branch and could never get it started again. 1 branch! He bought an electric saw and loves it so he gave this to me. FREE!

Brought it home, starts a bit different than my typical Stihls but after I got "Swedish", I figured it out.

I know nothing about this saw as I've always been a Stihl guy. Any insights other than what I can find on the internet?

I've had a 445 for years, and it's never given me any trouble. Great saw in my opinion!

About 2 months ago I spotted a Homelite Super 1130G for sale on the Lewiston, ID Craigslist for $150. "Ran last year, can't get to run this year." The owner wouldn't ship the saw, but I just so happens that I have a friend who lives just across the Snake River in Clarkston, WA who was glad to help me out by picking up the saw and paying for it. Just met up with Cameron today, and this is what I bought:



The compression is 155 psi, runs on prime, has a 48" Winsor .404" bar and a previous owner had a rim drive conversion done to the saw. I was thinking I would need to switch over from the original 1/2" chain and bar to .404", as what 1/2" chain you can will make your piggy bank squeal when go to pay for it. The rim drive conversion was an unexpected bonus.

I'm a happy Homie man tonight!

So your the one that beat me to that saw....lol....I spotted it as well and by the time i had the cash together it was gone!!! but thats ok looks like it went to a very loving home!!! I just bought a Homelite 2100 Super for $150 out of Deary, Idaho.

 

[John Lyngdal]

Hope your 2100 Super is in great condition like my saw.
Be sure to post it here after you pick it up.

[smcrow]

Will do it is a barn find so i will have take pics after it has been cleaned up!!!

 

[smcrow]

paid $200 shipped for this Homelite 2100s. Fires on prime, has good spark and has 175psi compression. will need a little love and some fuel components but should make for a nice restoration project!!!

 

[alderman]

Don't know if this qualifies but a never fueled Shindaiwa 488 for $150 is a good deal.

I think this is a sucky deal

$150 CAD with 28" Techlite bar and chain that haven't been in wood.. It was advertised as needing a new top end, buddy took delivery of it and said it fired up on the first pull but needs a little more fuel, says it looks like it hasn't done a full day's work yet


Then some freebies you may have seen from other threads
Wright.. Seized solid but it will live again!


Remington/Mall Logmaster GL7.. Needs muffler and air filter, and the clutch is sticky, runs though


Don't have pics, but have a McCullough 33 and 47, both are going to need serious work I think but they're complete

Yup, you suck on that heated XP...

Yup, you suck on that heated XP...

It's the first saw I've paid more than $50 for.. it's also the first saw that's actually worth wiping off after using.. all my others are weathered, faded, that is if they have any paint left.. I have a 288XPG as well that I have to put together.. never had heated handles before either, but I try and do my firewood before it's that cold!

picked this little fella up for $200 shipped Homelite 2100s. 30" roller nose. has great compression, and spark. going to replace fuel likes and rebuild carb and should run. fires on fuel mix down the throat!!

 

[dmb2613]

A buddy gave me the 034 super yesterday, been setting for 2 years, I steamed it off put in fresh gas and it fired the 3rd pull. has a vacuum leak , high idle but runs sweet lots of compression
the ms446 may end up being a cheap saw we will see
