You guys seem to find deals all the time on old equipment I envy you!!!! Up here on our Craigslist if some guy finds any old chainsaw right away 400$ lol
Had one guy asking like 600$ for a running husqvarna 38, are you kidding me!

Around here old saws are so worthless, auctioneers usually don't list them. I look on Auction zip with a 30 mile range to my zip code. Usually farm auctions, sometimes antiques and home goods. I've learned that searches seldom work, you either get new saws people think are made of gold, or old saws they think are made of platinum. I go to the photo gallery and look in the background of the listed items, under the benches. Most people that have good lawn tractors like JD's or Kubota's, have saws, often in the background of the listed items.

Got these 6 saws from a older friend who developed some medical issues and didn't want them to get tossed. Nothing special, but the old Echo 315 (which needs a new recoil drum) is intriguing to me. All run!

My wife called me a hoarder, which I corrected as "collector"!!

Hi all.

I was given my first chainsaw 2 weeks ago, by my ex-stepfather-in-law, who is moving off his toy farm.

A Husqvarna 359.

It has spent it life as a farm saw and looked it.

It spontaneously fell to bits when i got it home.
We can rebuild him... minus maybe a lb of sawdust and bar oil, with a new metal carb boot clamp and a free breathing muffler.

It will become my weekend warrior firewood saw.

Also just found out this 044 has a heated handle

i wouldnt clearcoat it.
those decals made it this far...

+1.
Clear may peel off the chrome decals and or oxidize after a while. That old paint is way more protective than anything we use today as its got the "good stuff" in it that we cant use cause its hazardous. Im all for saving the environment but a side by side comparison will show modern paint is garbage for longevity compared to that good old stuff.

I got my first “modern” saw from a listing on Craigslist for $100. Stihl MS362C The guy selling it said he took it to a shop and was told it would cost $300-400 to fix. I bought it from him and when I got home opened muffler and the piston is scored. I’ll take it apart this weekend to see if cylinder is ok.

Thats a great score and you suck! If you can do a pressure and vac test before you tear it down! Would be nice to know why it scored before you take it apart!

I don't know much about these automatic tuning carb saws.. but I'm going to learn!

Is your saw a 362C or a 362CM? I don't know the Stihl nomenclature very well, but isn't the "C" model carbureted, and the "CM" model M-Tronic?

It definitely is M-Tronic

 

[Marine-piper]

Not a you suck but definitely a nice saw.
I'm going to get this running Remington Super 75, 82cc w/ a 24" bar.
I have 1 question about the saw, what is the long bolt looking piece on the clutch side cover?

I think that's the gear shift for the 4 speed transmission.

Do I need to double clutch it or is it a split rear end?
