And this is the other saw. McCulloch SP125C

A mate found it on Facebook for me. As you see it is how I got it. Massive compression and perfect spark. Haven't really had time to start it yet, but WOW the compression is crazy.

Was sitting in a shed for 10yrs plus, owner passed away and I got it from his son.

Paid $200

Cheers

I’m not really sure I want to run it and put in wood. The saw is immaculate.

Yeah, I'd have a hard time with that decision myself. What a find, though! How often does a guy come across a brand new "old" saw? I recently picked up a couple 4 year old "new" saws, but that's an easier call to put to them to work!

Young guy at my work asked me to teach him how to fix up chainsaws. Jumped on FB and found two 031s 30mins away, paid $100 otd. One has an original Stihl 18” hard nose bar, the other a 20” ES bar! Both great compression and looks like new, but rusty, Oregon full chisel. I let the kid have the one with spark and gave him all the best parts, we just got it running this afternoon. Mine has a bad coil and a cracked clutch cover, but should be a runner after I convert the coil.

I got my buddy convinced to do a full resto on his since it’s so solid, I’m gonna keep mine as a dirty runner.

A complete Poulan 2600 (Husqvarna 141) I picked up @ a garage sale recently... wait for it...

$2!

Pretty good shape, chrome bore 40cc.
It has spark.
Only problem is the carb adaptor impulse pipe is broken.

 

[ChillyB]

$40 009L, bought from a Stihl tech who thought it needed a $90 coil. It needed the spark plug tip to be reconnected, a tank vent line, and a $6 carb kit. And of course a good cleaning.

Those little 009Ls are good saws, very reliable. Nice find!

 

[Pepster]

Freebie less than a week ago...


Local Stihl dealer (I nest there).
P&C are excellent.

 

[Pepster]

^^^ That's the only Stihl I own.

^^^ That's the only Stihl I own.

Yea i probably said that a hundred saws ago or so

Picked up this morning, from a guy that spent 50 years working in local forestry.
Went to buy the 281XP, by the end he threw in the 266XP for free as it was missing a muffler, starter handle, some brake parts and chain adjuster-
plus the piston and ring are fried.
USD $100 near enough.
281 has a broken brake flag, missing the front muffler bracket (of which I have several) and the muffler deflector that stops brake flags melting- but other than that is mint! Makes you appreciate the decomp valves on 288's!

Pictures coming tomorrow, but I went to an auction tonight and picked up 3 saws for $20.
Not sure what they need, but all are complete except the missing recoil on the ProMac
Craftsman 3.7
Homelite Super XL
ProMac 850
Pulling mufflers tomorrow, will post pics.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Big MC 850. Piston looks pristine!

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Good ole Craftsman.
Piston still has machine marks.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

And big red. Piston also still has machine marks. Got all 3 for $20.

MS391 - straight gassed -$40. Debating on selling for parts or replace with new top. The good…
And the bad…

The good is good- the bad is ugly!
Somebody made a bad and early in saw life mistake with that one, you would think in this day and age we live in, saws would have an oil sensor in the tank that could detect oil or lack thereof and interrupt the ignition....... but then I guess they would not sell as many new replacement saws!

Honest Honey... I wasn't looking for another saw, but this one almost found me.
I was driving out to Bob's place to deliver some supplies for the GTG in June and I just had a hankering to stop by a pawn shop I was passing along the way and came across this saw. It's a 2021 vintage 372XP, full wrap, 28" lightweight bar, double dawgs, with a sharp square ground chain. Clearly a falling saw that was replaced at the end of the season. I didn't have my inspection gear, but it started easy and ran well out in the parking lot. I got it for $320 out the door. T and I cut a few donuts with it at Bob's place and it cut as well as it looked.

Update: The bar is actually 32" and I pulled the muffler and the piston skirt is spotless.

 

[Officerdangle]

Picked up a CS-800. Happy with bigger saw at horsepower robbing altitude.

 

[Burchie70]

Just bought a 038 Magnum from Facebook marketplace for $100. Runs good. Any idea what she’s worth ?

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

I'll give 120 ☺
