What saws do you have and what did you pay?

I thought I was the only one with the beast (SL5).

Nice to hear you have one also. I am trying to find a way or parts to swap mine to 3/8 pitch chain. This is the loudest saw I have ever run.

 

[DanManofStihl]

Stihl 066 magnum with a 36 in windsor bar needed nothing $425
stihl 036 pro 20 in bar needed carb lever $250.00
sithl ms 180 needed nothing $125.00
Redmax g2500ts needed nothing but the chain sharpened $39.95 at pawn shop
Just bought the redmax today thought it was a deal runs good all of my saws I got in running shape. Nothing very new except the 066 mag it was almost new when I got it off ebay only around 35 to 40 hours on it.

To be completely honest it would be impossible for me to list all the saws I have now and how many I have had. Sunday I added 10 nice saws to the collection. In the last month or so I have added 4 more two man saws and countless other general issue saws. I have sold off a lot of saws so I could add more. I am in the process of a summer slim down which I hate but I still keep buying more.

Here is a pic I have posted before. I do get a few deals but in this picture I think I have about $1800-$1900. This is just a few of the saws around here. It is impossible to picture all the Homelites. Since teh pic was taken the 136, 365, and 066 are gone although I added more 066's and 371/372s.
I also added a pic of a few of the Stihl 046's.

I hope Mange is not going to post on this one. It might become the longest thread ever ..........

Of the 40 or so saws I have,$139 was the most I've ever paid.That was for a little Poulan,when it was new.The least,of course,was free.I have several of these.The large saws,Mac sp125's and Homey 2100s,I have about $125 each.The most I've spent restoring a saw,was around $200 total on a Stihl 048[rings seals,gaskets,bearings].Most of the time,on these old saws,it's just a matter of rebuilding the carb or repairing the mag to get them running again.I have done so many carbs that I think I could almost do it blind folded

 

[vharrison2]

Man you guys have some saws!!!

 

[Bill G]

Al,

I can send you some more to do if you get bored. I have (3) Homelite 1130G's, (1) XP1100, and a XP1020 that could use a carb kit.

It is interesting to note,by the price range,peoples different degrees of types,condition,etc.Being a Mac collector,among other things,I've had the oppurtunity to literally have McCullochs,by the ton.When I had the time to attend local farm sales,a Mac 250 or "1" series didn't usually bring a very high price,in a usual non running condition,nor did the older Homelites.I decided,long ago to keep my collecting to the sizes and types not normally seen in this,the midwest,which is not timber country,generally speaking.Geez if I bought every cheap saw,I would need a warehouse.Fact is that I have 6 or 8 that were given to me and I haven't went to get them yet

 

[Chris J.]

Al, I find your observations interesting. I have, in fact, pretty much stopped buying saws off eBayware (still watch for sleepers, though). The problem is that here in Houston the only saws I see at the flea markets, pawn shops (usually too high), resale shops, etc., are small saws like Craftsman, Poulan, & maybe the occassional Echo. Jonsereds are nonexistent here.

Maybe I can find some decent flea markets northeast of Houston, where there are still plenty of good sized trees.

Some of the hightlights, in the order I got them,

031--free, needed carb
045S--free, needed piston, barrel, case gasket.
075--$20, needed piston. Now it's an arm-breaker without decomp
056Mag--don't ask, labor of love
360 Homey--$50, needed seals
084--$500, really nice saw, needed nothing
357XPG--$496 new, now I see this same saw for nearly $100 more
020AVP--$50 + $20 for piston/barrel, seals, recoil, really nice saw
031--$5, needed atom module
2100 Husky modified--$265, impressive saw

and finally, my baby...

2100 Homey--$40, pristine, needed only carb cleaning

I have others, but they are not as interesting. Managed to collect tons of 045/056 parts in the process. But I don't have extra coils

The collection

All Homelites:
XL-12 Free, Fathers, Carb, points, clutch, Not currently running
Super Wiz 66 Free, Friend, Fuel tank cleaning. Runs

XL-12 is a handful! First the carb, then the points, now the clutch splits, and the carb is still being a pain.
Zip is being cleaned up
XL Auto It's on it's way here. Needs a gas cap I know for sure so thats coming too.

A friend of mine gave me this McCulloch last week. I'm itching to give a go at some 20" alders.
