Neat looking old homies i spy a mall 1 or 2mg also, i dont have any of those models so im not a good judge of value some others on here have some if theyll chime in. One thing to be sure of on those old dogs is corrosion, be sure to inspect the insides of the fuel tanks for white death (corrosion).

Mall? I spy a McCulloch SP125!

You need to ask about the mac too!!!!!

[Just a Guy that cuts wood]

I think you all forgot the 2050 Poulan 2 cube power 38cc
and i may also use my wife's mini mac 6
still thinking 6x6 from home depot
Poulans are torque monsters so the more wood the better

The 7-29 is a monster 120+cc belt driven gear reduced Saw. The 7-29 and 8-29 were the biggest ever produced by Homelite, so there can be a lot of value in them if the belts are in good shape and the pistons and cylinders aren't roached.

So I got these two saws for free for fixing my mothers coworkers ms170. The 130 is locked up though, I'm going to soak it in marvel mystery oil and see if it will free up.

Not vintage but I picked up a stihl 036, ms361 and 025 from my dealers junk pile for $25. Best of all, the 361 looks like it has a good cylinder so I can probably rebuild it and replace the missing parts with huztl parts and get it going

Sounds like a good one for the you suck thread. I'd do OEM parts replacement personally but that's me. You'll do better in the long one and resale if need be.

The ms361 mainly needs plastic covers and a muffler. I have had good luck with those parts. I sometimes use aftermarket bearings and they seem okay. I will not use aftermarket pistons or cylinders except meteor or tecomec.

I gotta ask mine about junk saws when I go for some supplies next time.

 

[astnmacgto]

Thanks, I will definitely check that out.

I do believe @RandyMac has a decent amount of those homelites, although he'll probably tell you their worth whatever your willing to pay lol

Yup, found a good use for my poulan... cutting a 32' beam out of a church my friend is re-modeling. Nothing cuts nails like a saw you don't care about [emoji3]
Got my saw running in for the night tho!

Loved the spark show, nothing's better than cutting nails in low light.
