My partner/pioneer 500. Its really a Jonsered, but it was the first "real" saw I bought when I was 14. 100 bucks at a local pawn shop, money made shoveling sheep poop at another farm down the road. Wasn't sure I wanted it, but it fired up first pull. Still runs great, usually just toss a junk chain on it and rip up pallets for the evaporator. It really could use new anti vibe mounts since a couple are just duct tape.
Whats the one saw that you will never get rid of

There are a couple I would probably never sell the following
046, 181 husky, 028.
In that order, not sure why these saws. But I get attached to things.
046 iv had for many years, replaced the rings. And baby this saw like a newborm.
181. First true rebuild, I have wayyyy to much money wrapped up in it.. To much to sell it for what its worth.
028. Not real sure, I just loooove this little saw!

It would probably be the Pioneer P50 I built from parts with the aftermarket filter, but everything has a price I couldn't refuse.
Damn that's a sharp looking P60 too Kevin. You just need the chainbrake to really set it off. Nice.

Stihl 028 was the first saw I ever bought, I sold it after I found the 028 super I have now...I can't say I wouldn't sell it though, but I doubt if anyone would pay me what I want.
Do you still have the 028 super? The one I have I feel the same way about and I would only sell it to the right person as long as I knew it was safe.
Reason, when I got my 028 super the tank was broken off/no rear handle and it looked like it was left outside for years. Well I built it back up and dressed it with the same sun beat'n plastic. That's my sleeper...

Dragged her out for a photo last weekend:
She's not been used in nearly 10 years now.

Great looking saw!For me it would be my Mall 7 I got from my Dad 30 years ago.
It was in running condition when I got it, I made a few cuts with it then
it sat in the garage. About five years ago I cleaned it up and got it
running again. My Daugther does not want me to ever sell it.
She has seen it all her life and shes 27 now, She wants it when
my time is up here. So some day she will be the proud owner of
the Mall 7.

Not too much Steve... It's just a well built real nice torquey little saw. It's not going to Indy.. I built two of them, one for me and one for my friend who always runs my saws in the videos.
I didn't go bananas with it/them, I ported them and run the squish as tight as I could w/out machine work. Muffler modded and cleaned up the carbs a little... Just a good little saw I respect. I posted this before in a thread when I compaired it to a ms260 with the 44.7mm jug... In an all around durable saw, the 028 super all day long! Cutting branches/limbing...the ms260 all day long.

My father passed away early in January, 2011. When going through some of his belongings in a shed I found a brand new, never fueled, McCulloch 130, in a nearly rotted away box. Sits on a shelf in my man-cave now. I don't remember him ever mentioning it. I'm certain I would have remembered had he did, as I had one of them at one time and really liked cutting with the little thing.

Earlier in this thread I posted that my Stihl 031AV is the saw that I will never sell. My camera phone was broken then and I didn't have any pics that I could post. Here she is making her internet debut. :chainsawguy:

Nope I don't have it anymore. I needed parts for another project........
In all honesty I've made some changes in my way of thinking since I made that post. I build saws everyday so they have become an item to make money from. They come and go very regularly these days.
I do still have the MS460 build off saw I built for Terry's last GTG.........Make me a fair offer on it and it'll be gone.

You still got that P-50?
Don't sell that till you talk to daddy.:smile2:
The hardest part to find is the band itself. I put one together for my P-62 but the nos clutch cover I had doesn't have the holes for the outside dawg, so I gained the brake but lost one dawg.
I'll keep you in mind if I find anything.
