Again eBay.

I've been looking, but my searches aren't returning much, but I haven't really figured out if there are special keywords I need to use. I know searching for certain Homelights, some searches return what I'm wanting and then sometimes I'm looking at other unrelated stuff but saws pop up that weren't returned when I searched for them specifically lol

Get ahold of a user on this site called @Acornhill he probably has pistons

Also @chainsawman2011 or @Duke Thieroff perhaps could help?

Thanks for the leads!

Some piston/cylinder kits are kinda iffy on ebay but if you wait long enough you'll find them. I wouldn't pay too much for a 306 that needs a P/C because they cost as much as I can get the whole saw for.

That's what makes it so hard to sell saws on ebay. Sometimes when a person wants to buy a saw and just type in "chainsaw" the ones certain of us are selling don't come up. I guess you have to make your search very specific including spelling. Just like a password, if you miss one letter it throws it out..

I agree...I always get tired of those dadgum poulans popping up. Who in their right mind buys these?? [emoji12]

 

[Boomer 87]

Here now! i buy those poulans lol, not the new ones as there just a shell of the originals. The old school ones though i love

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Not sure who buys the plastic Poulans but there's also a bunch of Husqvarnas for around $150 or so with free shipping. I try to get that much out of some of my used saws so it's hard to compete..

I sure like my 306A since it's put together, might try to find a 3400 this weekend, I kinda like those too.

 

[Boomer 87]

That bc to a consumer they look at new vs used they can get a brand new one for what u sell a used one for......they don5e realize the old one has way more quality and craftsmanship

Yeah the old timers have got to be pizzed to see how far downhill Mac, Homelite, and Poulan have gone.

 

[Boomer 87]

You want an impressive old poulan run a 5200 countervibe!! Real torque monsters

Yeah they sell something now that has the mac name on it. I can't confirm that it's actually a chainsaw because the ad's refer to them having a blade........ whatever that is.

Hah I know the old ones are goodies. The problem is they go to tractor supply and get a $150 run it work a week until it has an issue and sell it for $100 on eBay. So those are what floods eBay and Craigslist. I was just poking the bears out there with my iron

Blade!

 

[Boomer 87]

No doubt about the new stuff flooding ebay and craigslist. Sometimes though you can get lucky and find some old iron somone just wants rid of

I'd love to put a blade on mine. Get rid of my electric circular saw for a gasser

To the OP just start buying saws in your price range... if they arent worth fixing sell pieces and parts then use that to buy more saws. Fix and sell ones that arent on your list, then you can buy some that are. Thats what im doing selling off some of my duplicates or smaller ones.... and currently im collecting a couple muscle saws from every brand i can, i go for saws 70 ccs and up.
