"You Suck" Thread 2019--Pics required!

[Brent Adams]

Like the axes too. Got a few old heads here that I need to clean up and rehaft.
My favorite maul is a newer one with a fiberglass handle. Light Enough to not tire out an old fat guy, but still has enough weight to get the job done. I know, not an antique, but works really well. Way better than the sledge and wedges I grew up on.

+1 what Lord chin chin said on the Promac 850 goinwheelin. You Sir have the greatest vacuum here that I have seen so far! A running PM850 for $25? Someone has a horeshoe lodged in their posterior. Hope it doesnt fall out. VERY nice score sir. Jealous.

I’ve gone from one saw to 6 since October 12th and it all started with that Mac. Lol.

Did some horse trading and got this for some Chevy parts and $15.

Not sure if this is a you suck or sucked in...



A colleague gave me what was a complete running stihl 032av that was disassembled to replace the sprocket.

He is sure the rest is there somewhere...

At least the P&C look ok. Tired but not scored. If the handle/topcover assembly turns up it may be a fun project.

Looks like he tried to get to the sprocket from the wrong side lol.

Good score if the rest of it shows up. Heck even if the rest doesn't show, you got a bunch of free parts

I don’t know if this meets the “you suck” criteria but it’s near mint condition with papers lol.
$150 off Craigslist. Perfect mate for the 051 I picked up.

I saw an older add for a job lot of older tools including a saw on facebook during the week.

I ummed an ahhed about getting another project etc, did a little reading and put it off till this morning when i messaged the guy asking if he would sell the saw seperately and how much.


(pic taken after he had changed the add.)

He messages me back just before midday saying he forgot the add was still up, he took it all to the tip on tuesday, it might have ended up in the tip shop. (A shop that collects the still usable stuff and resells it)

It just so happens that one of my jobs for the weekend was to do a tip run and the tip opened at 12.

Is this meant to be???

I didn't wait to unload the trailer first, straight to the tip shop... i walk in and have a quick look, can't see it, I'll ask the lady that runs the place.
I find her and am about to ask... when i look left and there it is... how much? $20... DONE! and i wipped out the card so fast i nearly ripped the pocket off my pants.









I gave the grot a quick rub to see what the paint was like underneath... and writing shows up!



Overall i think it will clean up very nicely.

It will hang on the starter cord. The sprocket looks good. The fuel line in the tank feels like jelly but that was expected.

The fuel cap has vanished between being photographed for the add and me getting it at the tip shop, plus it needs a replacement oil cap, but I'm still very happy.

Any idea when it was made?

What exactly makes this a Super XL-12 Automatic not a SXL-AO etc?

Thanks.
Henry.

Btw a month or so ago i had no chainsaws. Then i was given one... Now i have gotten 3 more (all older projects) in the last two weeks. Is this CAD?

It’s only the beginning...

Even at the height of my former collection I was about 30 saws...and those are rookie numbers around here. I do have some projects laying around if you need more lol

Please post some close ups of your muffler if you have the time.

 

[henry r]

I'll try to get some more pics in the morning.

For now here is one after i gave it a rough clean this afternoon... i told myself i wouldn't touch it till I'd finished my current saw, i couldn't resist.





I must say I'm really happy with how it turned out bar discovering the artwork isn't 100% stable in kerosene (paraffin)

 

[Marine-piper]

Well at least the o-ring for the fuel cap is still on it[emoji106] let me check but I might have an extra laying around. My Super XL-12AO has this fuel cap as does my other one, this is a spare if you'd like it.

I've never seen a muffler like that on a homelite before? Maybe someone else has? But might be a custom setup.
