Well, made it to TSC last night and here's the scoop on the Wild Thang. The clutch cover says 40cc but the epa sticker says 42cc. So I guess that means it's a 41cc right? :msp_confused: I'm guessing the epa sticker is more accurate, the clutch cover stickers are probably old ones laying around the Poulan plant they had to use up so they threw them on these. As long as they are not overstating the displacement I guess they are allowed to do that.
What I do know for sure is it's butt ugly, worse than the picture looked. If it were me I'd Mad Max it and just paint the whole thing flat black.
Oh and it's also heavy as heck. I picked it up and thought I had mistakenly picked up the 455 Rancher next to it but the neon green and purple assured me that I had indeed picked up the 40cc or 42cc saw, not a 55cc saw. Egads, at least if the thing craps out on you over the winter you can throw it in your boat in the spring cuz it will make a fantastic anchor.
Still, I don't know where else you are gonna find a brand new gas chainsaw for $100 so if you can use it for parts to repair another saw or if you just want something cheap for whatever reason probably worth getting up early for. Heck, the freakin case is probably worth $30 if it will fit other saws which it probably will since that Wild Thing is huge for a 40-42cc saw and you have a crappy bar and chain for cutting stumps with. Oh no, I've almost talked myself into going for it myself. Good thing I'm broke - thank you Mr. President you saved me from spending my money on a cheap saw I don't need. Instead you took it and spent it on nothing. Ok, that's for another forum, I'll stop it.
