Looking to trade my Canadien 175.

https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/canadian-175.341841/
Pulls over fine with the starter rope, gas tank smells like nasty old gas as expected, but not corroded as one would see from ethanol fuel. If I get time I'll tinker with it and see if I can get it running.

In return, I'm looking for a pro level powerhead in the 50cc range with 3/8 drive to run my Simpson winch. CS-490, 026, 034(non super), etc. Yes I know the CS-490 is .325, new rim should fix that. Prefer to stick with Stihl as my local dealer is great, but a different brand is fine as long as it's a pro level powerhead. Can throw in cash either way to even things out and who pays for freight and whatnot.

Questions or offers, let me know.
 
Per a request, I pulled the muffler and checked out the P&C. Not good news, the scratches on the far side can catch a plastic butter knife.

Someone put the wrong spark plug in it, the flats stick out too far and there's no room to get a wrench or socket on it. Or maybe it's the right plug and it's just a PITA to do. Either way, as soon as I can get a wrench around it and get the plug out, I'll get a compression reading.

I haven't gotten the spark plug out, no clue on compression yet - I'll prioritize that. Just cranking it over, it's noticeably more stout than my 60cc Stihl is, as you'd expect from a 90+ cc saw. Photos of the P&C posted above.

I'll pass on the Skil. I'm not a chainsaw collector, just want a tool that suits my needs.

No thank you. I appreciate the offers, but I'm not looking for anything vintage. I'm a weekend firewood guy who just wants an effective tool, not a chainsaw enthusiast looking for a toy. Looking for something fairly modern, that I can get parts for easily online or at a local dealer. Stihl, Husky/Jonsered, Makita/Dolmar, Echo, maybe Redmax or Shindaiwa. I'd obviously be putting extra $$$ towards that.
