Hello everyone,
I have been a lurker here for a while and I am just blown away by the amount of information on this site. I am looking for a saw to purchase that will replace an old worn out 039. Thinking about picking up one of the Makita 6421 saws from home depot but need to wait a few weeks before one becomes available. In the mean time I found an old Stihl 036 w/ 16" bar for $325 at a local pawn shop listed on craigslist. Is this a good price for this saw in good running condition and also is it a good step up from the 039? I also have a 20" es bar that I could put on the saw and just put the 16" bar on the 039. Any advice you guys could give me would be awesome. Thanks!
Justin
