I knew you'd enjoy seeing that cover again lol.
I've seen a few of them that were similar since, but none just like it.
Hope all is well out your way .

Doing well, my friend
Back from NorCal fires to 90 F temps and red flag warnings

Clean and started pretty easy for a 85cc saw with 180psi of compression and no compression release.
Wasn't looking for another 80cc class saw, but it started and the price was so reasonable I didn't even try to dicker over the price.

Ha! My wife got me that shirt last christmas as a joke. I like it!

not quite worth a whole new thread to clutter up the screen of the glitterati here...

I did my due diligence doh, and since ain't nobody has done posted this comment in a couple-three years or so, so

I was having a right enjoyable time doing some 12 oz. curls last night when another fine gentleman, many stools farther on down the bar from me, and someone I don't know as I am presently away from home a fur peace, was presented with a brand new custom made T-shirt for his help of someones, for somethin (I suspect said help might could've involved the operatin' of a powerful sharp chainsaw). We all cheered. The T-shirt proudly stated:

"SAWDUST IS MAN GLITTER"

I was quite looking forward to purchasing some fine people some fine beverages in hopes of illuminatin' the story behind such a fine looking T-shirt. But shortly thereafterwards, the power done went out, and, well, chainsaws prolly had to be assembled for duty. But way up dere in da Northwoods, eh, da locals are pretty handy with dem saws and I learned a long time ago that the best way I can help the local peeps is to just stay the hell out of their way, less of course their saws happen ta break or sometin'.

But I thought y'alls might enjoy an appropriate comeback for anyone and everyone who throws side-eye shade your way when you happen to end up out and about, in public, still covered with glitter, which happens to me right offen.

View attachment 680452 View attachment 680453 First time looking at this thread. Made my “Garage Art” thread about these two pawn shop finds. Figured I’d add them here also.

Don’t know if they’re worth anything, or if I can get them running yet, but I’m keeping them.

Homelite $20, Craftsman $25.

And supposedly they have the original case for the Homelite somewhere in the back, but couldn’t find it today. But I won’t need it.
Might mount it in the wall in the living room.

Pretty sure that Craftsmen is a rebadged Poulan 25. One of the best little saws ever made. We used homelite Super EZ's for our climbers. When the XXV came out we switched over to the Poulans, that saw was a little Screamin Demon. I found one back in the summer wearing Craftsmen Yellow, and it's still screamin.

There's been a few of those come up on craigslist around me. Been looking at them but have pulled the trigger. Nice looking saw by the way.

well I'm not sure this will count as a "you suck" but I just picked up a 10-10s bow saw up off one of the social media trash and treasure groups. the saw looks pretty good and it runs. the guy I bought it from said that he put a carb kit in it and patched the plug wire. I'm not sure how special the special edditions are I'm more of a stihl poulan guy. this one set me back $60

I picked up this 2011 MS460 today for $200. It took a tumble from a bucket truck but appears to be in decent shape. Needs a tank/handle, bar cover, Brake handle, and wrap handle. Has great compression and the piston and cylinder look good. No damage to cylinder fins or crankcase. Previous owner said it sat idling on the ground following the fall.

Thanks. Looks like from looking at acres, http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...f0cbecefee7fe4b988256bfc000cbe71?OpenDocument ,
the S25DA is about it’s closest relative. Didn’t see one with the Power-Sharp, which has been removed from my saw anyway.

I really like the little double trigger Homelite XL2 auto. It feels a little smaller, lighter, and more nimble.
But in fairness, I haven’t really used either the Craftsman or the Homelite all that much. Hard to not grab the little 2511T when I need or want to run a top handle.

Clean condition, came with a spare like-new chain, carrying case, and sounds like it only needs the usual carb cleaning/kit, fuel lines.

$40

Picked up this gem yesterday. Previous owner bought the saw new and used it maybe 30 minutes of its life. I believe it’s either a 1996 or 2006. (maybe someone could confirm???)

I felt like it was a score at $200 bucks. Saw it’s in pretty much new condition.

Anybody know the value on a Husqvarna 35?

Saw one today at a pawn shop. Bar and chain looked pretty good. The name was gone but still had all the gray paint.

Saw didn’t look like it was used a whole lot. Only a few paint chips, but a couple of screws were rusted. And pretty dusty and oily around the carb.

I didn’t try to start it up. But if it was running, is this saw worth $70?

Probably, at least based on eBay prices.

Thanks. I guess I’ll go back and check on it in a day or two.
Little top handles don’t take up too much space on my display shelf. And it’s got a 12” bar, so even better.

$200 is a fair price for that saw! It can be converted to a 262XP as well.

Based on that serial number, it was produced in 1996, 25th week, saw number 1633

That’s what I thought. I probably won’t use it a lot. It’s in too good of shape to tear up cutting a lot of trees. But if it dies, 262 will be its next stop.
