"You Suck" Thread 2020"--Pics required!

[Ryanp2842]

Posted this in the wrong section. Scored this Stihl ms441c,-r at an online auction. Says 2016 EPA. Paid $315 Canadian. They never listed the model number or had any pics of the recoil. What I did see was Magnum in the top. Runs great all it needed was a new spark plug wire.

Our annual farm and equipment auction is usually all day Saturday with 3-4 auctioneers going. This year they did it all on line. Bidding started Monday and ends tonight. The way it works is Item number one ended at 5 O'clock, then every ten seconds the next item ends. I bought item number 3. Whether it's a you suck is yet to be decided. It's a John Deere X500, with 4 hours on it. The current X5 series that matches that one is about $7000. With 4 hours I call it brand new. I bid $3700 and with the auction juice it came to $4292. When I got my X540 liquid cooled JD for $2500, every one thought it was a good deal, with 800 hours. This one is my daughter and son in laws house warming present. I'll get some pics up when I get it home.

Here's the X500.

Found a pretty decent deal today I think....$100 for the two saws-- not running, and the 3 Heaters. 2 Kerosene, the other is propane. Local pawn shop....Echo 590 made in 2014, Husky 55 Rancher in 2000. The air filter on the Echo looks new, Im betting just full of Ethanol....Both saws seem to have good compression....

Came across a good deal locally.
2 x Stihl MS362C. Saws are basically new...would be surprised if they had more than a few tanks though them.
Paid the equivalent of $535 USD. For both of them. Very excited about these!

Both mtronic (which, interestingly enough my phone autocorrected to moronic). My first experience with an mtronic saw, let alone any saw that’s not an 0 series actually, haha!

saw your 441 post. Looks like we’re from the same province!

havent seen flat top cover screws since my 048.

Haven't kept up here, posted these in their respective forums. Like Ira said, trying to stick to the big saws for cheap. Got a Homelite 770G, Mac D36, Mac 1-40, and an unidentified Homelite. My guy is starting to run out of saws. Next time I go by I hope to get the old Homelite Original EZ, a Mac 7-10, and a Mac 250. Then the pickins are getting slim.

Pretty sure this is a model 17. The other pictures you sent me show an HP tillotson carb.

Got this 445 as a box of parts for $40 as a, “I don’t know what I’m doing and want gone”, deal. Near new condition after I freshened everything up with new where needed!

Ace hardware screwed up big time and someone's head will role for this.
suppose to be 2.50 per bottle on the 1 gallon mix not 2.50 per 6 pack.
and the 2.5 gallon is suppose to be 3.99 per bottle not six pack.
well i cleaned these jokers out.

Someone else seriously sucked today, this 630 was up for sale for $25. The caption said "can't get it to start". The ad was only up for two hours and I was still too late.

Just me, I have a good relation with my local Ace/Echo dealer. If they have people bring in saws for service that would cost more than they are worth, they send them my way. Or, if some one buys a new saw and asks them to trash their old one, they give it to me. I would have told them about the mistake. A little good will, will last a lot longer than that oil.

My local ace is not privately owned by a individual but a large company here where i live. that company owns IGA, Priceless IGA, and over 40 shell gas stations in Kentucky.

Went to my local dealer to do some black friday shopping in the junk saw pile and found a Stihl 024 wood boss super av. I got it for $25 he said it was toast. Well not exactly except fully plugged with mud dauber wasps. Muffler, exhaust port, and flywheel.

Cleaned it out and shot some oil in the cylinder and it felt like new. I replaced a few av buffers, fuel line, impulse line, carb kit. It runs the best now and i finally own a 024 super.
