Very nice. Last time I saw a 2094 full wrap handle for sale it was double that.

Visiting nearby property and the talk turned to chainsaws. Soon this Stihl S10 was in the back of my car. Said to be a good runner before carb removed due to starting problem. Seems complete and does turn over freely.
Icing on the cake was Honda powered water pump, also said to run before being put away years ago.
After a general fiddle the motor is purring, and the grey and brown soup/custard has been removed from the pumps innards. Will connect it up soon and I expect it be a worthwhile member of my rural irrigation team.
Price - $ 0 - and condition are the suckable aspects.

Hi,
I don't know if this rates, but went by my local ECHO Dealer and asked the Manager if he had any chainsaws in the junk pile???
After looking at me like a Deer in the Headlights, said, "Actually, I do!"
For $40 I got a ECHO CS-3000, a 590 Timber Wolf, and a Poulan 3400.
The 3000 and 3400 should be good to go with some carb work, the 590 has a scored P/C, but...
Still think I did pretty good.
He has another basket case 3400 and think now I will go see if I can get that tomorrow!

My son got a couple Stihl MS170 saws where he works... they were customer (idiot) returns. $80 for both of them. One guy couldn't start the saw and the other insisted the oiler didn't work... even after they replaced it in front of him to appease him. There really was nothing wrong with either saw... just the operators.
I had my son order Stihl OEM side adjustors, bumper spikes and muffler gaskets for them. For about $140 we got two like new saws that had sharp chains. I took mine a step further and opened up the muffler... it is noticeably better than stock. I had him order the muffler gaskets as I noticed that both saws were leaking exhaust and oil between the cylinder and muffler. For me this little saw adds to my saw progression.... MS170, MS261 and MS461. I used it last week to cut up pine tree branches that an ice storm took down. Nice little saw for such tasks.

Hi,
It's interesting how the Market works...
I bought 2 edgers and 2 string trimmers for $25 a couple of years ago from the same place.
I got the best 2 running with carb work and they have run great.
The Manager says he won't pay his Techs to rebuild carbs or replace with Chinese Carbs, soooo.....
If the Customer does not want to pay $50 + Labor for an OEM Carb, the store sales him a new machine and the broke one goes in the pile waiting for me, I guess?
I don't think I'll ever have to buy a new piece of Lawn Equipment again.

Just realized I forgot the photos... should have gone to bed earlier last night!
A little dirty after cleaning up the fallen white pine branches.
Nice score on the pair of MS170. Not a saw that gets much respect, but they are handy to have around and make for a nice loaner saw when someone comes asking.

I guess this qualifies for "I SUCK"
One stop shop at yard sale for the tools I need to get started building saws. I was a heavy equipt mechanic for 30 years and I have just been learning to work on these saws. The cool part about it is theres even rubber covered aluminium block off plates for vacuum testing and an old McCulloch vaccum tester that will need some new rubber parts, But It looks like I have nearly everything I need to get started. Even got that old Husky L65 which I got running in just a few hours of tinkering.

Great score! Was it a retirement sale? Great to get everything you need in one hit.

Just said yard sale out front, Lots of people there. I actually went there because my neighbor told me they had Reloading Stuff, The reloading stuff was all gone but my eyes lit up when I saw that old Husky L65 and started looking around at everything.
These little guys run pretty lean from the get go, especially the newer ones. With a MM I'd definitely recommend going up a size or 2 on the fixed jet (or drilling it out by 0.05mm)
Here's my contribution...
Sachs Dolmar 114.
Paid NZ$50 (~US$35) at the local pawn shop.
Seams to be in good working order with the exception of the air filter element & the hardened grease in the clutch drum bearing

Found an ad for an unused MS260 Pro the other day. Homeowner bought it 11 years ago (tag was still on the saw), bar oil, 2 cycle oil, fuel can, and a pair of stihl chaps (in box with tag). They had never run a saw before and said they changed their mind…they were not comfortable with the idea of using it, turns out. Sold me the lot. Homeowner had saw fueled by dealer and never started it after it was started by the dealer. So inside of tank was stained. They brought the saw to the dealer before I picked it up to make sure it would run. Dealer charged her $45 to dump the fuel, refill, and start it. Runs fine. I’m not really sure I want to run it and put in wood. The saw is immaculate.

Hi Guys , been busy with work so not much saw stuff going on but I did manage to find a couple of saws.
First was a Stihl 029 Super. Local dealer told him the crank seal were gone, so he bought a new saw. Turned out the only issue was a split fuel line. Paid $100 AUD
Shame really for t'he old owner, is it a very clean saw.
Cheers
