Whoo boy! I think I lucked out! This saw is actually pretty clean! It has some paint missing on the bar cover and case bottom, but recoil cover and front look good. Plastic looks great. Rubber on top handle is great, lotta paint off left side of top handle, some from right. Compression is pretty good, with a 20" b&c and fulla gas and oil it takes several seconds to start falling when held by the handle, several secs between pops or whatever they are called Not like my new 460, but pretty good for an old saw. It sounds GREAT and accelerates really well, and cuts surprisingly powerfully. Well-used Oregon bar with replaceable tip. NO rust on muffler, so stored inside, that's a plus.
Here is the kicker: The very rear of the saw was cracked during shipping,
musta taken a good toss on the rear end of the box. Well padded like a mummy in bubble wrap and peanuts, but had to have been tossed on its end. The broken part is white, while the rest of the handle is darker, indicating a fresh break. Brad C. sent me the UPS reporting link, and I will contact the dealer to find out the cost of replacing the tank assembly. The break is almost complete, with a small intact part on the rear of the handle, indicating impact from the rear separated the handle completely at the front. Bummer, but I plan to repair the saw, because the balance and sound are just great! I will post pics when I bring my camera home from work tomorrow.
Oh, the serial # is 13495xxxxxx, so it is a 10 mm. So, no BB kit. Oh well, I have larger saws.:greenchainsaw:
