What is it worth?

[yooper]

Was at the F.I.L's over the week end, he had a couple of saws he was a little interested in what there value was as a few people keep pestering him about wanting them. one is an older stihl 051 av its a bit dirty but runs fine. The other is a 2 man mac. it also runs fine. dont know the years of them but I know the mac. is much older then the stihl. here are a few photos. Sorry about the photos of the mac. it was way back in the shop behind a bunch of lumber piles and it weighs about 80 pounds or so and was a pain to try to get it over the lumber piles by my self. so I just took the photos where I could.

I don't know about the value but the guys who can clean them up and make them look new will jump on it. Especially if they don't have to take it apart to make it run well.

The Mac has an interesting helper handle. It appears to be off a Mall or Disston. It has the tensioner in the handle. I susupect the bar is off a Mall.

Ya there a bit dirty, He does allot of saw milling in the winter under the doors of the shop and dont do much with the saws he doesn't use. I actually figured someone here knew a bit about them. maybe I should asked if the stihl was worth over 50 bucks or or better wish I had more time to clean them up a bit. I have run the 2 man a few times but it is always scary being on the the receiving end handle .... if the chain breaks ya always know which way its going to go As for the Mac. I am sure no one here could really give a price of worth. not to many around.I just dont want to see any one screw him over. I have allot of fun with the 2 man its fun to run! think an old Mac. is loud this thing Rocks:rockn:

I am not sure. It was his fathers saw from back in the day the bar is about 4 foot perhaps a bit longer but not much. what is a Mall or Disston? excuse my ignorance I am just 38 and climb trees for a living I worked in the woods for 12 years but we used a timco to cut trees with a bar that long

Hi Yooper, If he does not want them any more and just wants a fair price here are some thoughts.

If the stihl runs ok I think 100 to 200 range would be a fair start.

The Mac is either a model 549 or 755. Id number is on right tag. The bar and helper handle is from a disston kb7 twin cylinder saw. The bar, helper and chain could worth about 200 alone.

The mac powerhead if running ok is probaly worth 2 to 300,, maybe more.

since the saw is a morf it is worth more in parts but if He was offered around 400
I think he would do ok .... info based on last 2 years of vintage saws sold at auction..

Thanks for the info mrbigsaw, I know that since he has a few chains for it and I think another bar or 2 he may be better getting rid of it in different parts. I appreciate the info.

The McCulloch two man in your picture is model 7-55 It should have
a helper handle like my model 99 has.

Here are two different mall two man saws.
This one is Model 6 Mall

This one is Model 7H Mall

Those are some pretty neat saws Mr. Bow Saw
