Which part? Intending to keep it but ending up selling it or, buying twice as many as you sold when intending to downsize?
Yup; both!

My problem is I think that charging what the saw is worth is a ripoff, but won't let it go for less.. so I justify keeping them that way.
Couple more freebies from last fall, one on the right fired up 150 comp, was very noisy one clutch spring had let go, quiet now but has air leak, one on the left is lightly scored. Somewhere I have a box of plastics I picked up in PEI this summer. Yesterday saw coughed up a bunch of parts, both were pretty badly crushed and one was left outside so water ingestion.

Just a newb here, but I suppose newbs can suck too.
I just got a McCulloch 440 (yes, a 440 on the crankcase) and a Stihl 021 for $60 between them.
I also got a running Echo 302s for $15 with a new B&C, and a Homelite 150 for $5 about a month ago (pics coming)
The stihl only needed a clutch cover and sproket, plus a tank vent. The Echo needed absolutely nothing. Little tuning and it works fine. It has 1/4 inch pitch chain too for some reason. the Homelite was $5 because it had no spark. The points were simply not closing. The big Mac is the most suckage, all that was wrong was the cylinder was full of old bar oil where the pump leaked. Drained it and started it. There is no damage anywhere on it, it even still has the original rubber chip deflector. Only missing the 440 model tag.

I may have over bid @ auction on this one to fit in here since there was no B&C & is 064 not 066 as in ad but$5 seamed OK (-;This sucks mostly because these saws REALLY SUCK but here it is anyway. I got this 240E this week for $20. The former owner left ethanol gas in it last fall and gummed up the crappy Zama carburetor pretty good. The P&C is squeaky clean. I think it might have cut two branches in its life. So, one new fuel filter, a carb kit and three pulls on the starter later I have a running boat anchor

I gots a bunch of them, if you want a standard clutch cover with bar nuts send me a pm.

Thanks for the offer of a proper clutch cover but even a whole bucket of bar nuts wouldn't get me to like this family of chainsaws, lol. Husqvarna should quit producing saws below the 543XP IMHO.

I'd just like to say thank you to the guy that posted this on Craigslist yesterday, and kept it up for 24 hours, but didn't include any contact information. Then, you change the price this morning. Thanks for consuming my thoughts for an entire day. I bet you're a real hoot on April Fool's Day

Got the p41 for free and just needed a carb kit. The p28 got today for $30 guy didn't know if it ran but would pull over. Put in fresh gas pulled it over 5 times and runs perfect. I love old pioneers!The Stihl and Mac were in High Point, The homie and Echo where towards Charlotte

Not a chainsaw but I picked up this for $20 and it's in great shape inside but the guy couldn't find the nozzle and said he would call me if he found it. He said he saw it a few days prior.
