"You Suck" Thread 2020"--Pics required!

[Turd Furgeson]

Picked this up for free off marketplace from a tree service. He said it was the only saw that never gave them troubles until one day it just locked up. I'll probably do a leak-down test before I pull the jug. I wonder if somebody gassed it with the wrong can... He said he always uses Amsoil, I'm leery of 100:1 but I know it works for a lot of people. Once I get it going it will probably be my primary saw.

With a running Stihl 038 Magnum hanging in the saw room, when I saw a CL add for a 038 parts saw for $10 I thought I'd take a look.
Here's what $10 bought me.

It's a first version Magnum with a trashed left side case, squished muffler, and broken fuel tank.
But everything else seems to be in functional or repairable.
I figured the full wrap handle was worth what I paid for everything.

Found this nice husqvarna 234, 1982 dated.
Maybe not a fulled 'sucked', payed 80 dollar with transport.

Saw is not complete, but low on hours. Piston looks great, compression feels good.
Reason why she is incomplete is unknown... Comes with heathed handle.
Time to further finish this saw and put here back in her glory

Don't know if this qualifies. But I recently got a Jonsered CS2260 new. It's a 2013 model with all the bad stuff(hopefully not) EL-46 carb, 5 screw case except it appears to been made late enough to have the modern case screws. It's brand new -been sitting on a dealers shelf since a few weeks ago. I really like the looks better than the 562xp and wanted a small bar mount. I feel bad for the dealer. He's got like 20 saws and the brand is going away.

Ended up with a 3003 mount stihl 25" ES light bar, and matching chain, both unused, for $45, and $16.25 respectively. and a 50 Driver 3/8" picco PS non safety chain for $12.50.
along with a ms 200 rear handle demo saw for $400. it had a good story too... I didn't take pictures of it before I sold it back to the shop owners Ex wife though. I couldn't refuse the absurd cash offer she gave me for the saw.

 

[toadman]

Also ended up with 5 used 16" stihl RS chains someone had had sharpened and didn't pick up for 2.5 years of sitting in the shop. The sharpening job is ****, but it can be saved, and for being free chains I don't really care

 

[rocketnorton]

what's that "e-matic" about?

 

[toadman]

It is a set of ramps holding oil by the oiler hole that stihl patented to help out their anemic bar oilers...

Free 028 AV WBEQ + $100 parts + my labor = runs like new. That $100 includes a CCC (Cheap Chinese Crap) 46mm P/C to make it a "super." I still have the originals, which probably would have worked, but the piston is pretty scored after chewing on a bearing cage.

This was a bought along with a Homelite XL-1.

This 1980 Pioneer Farmsaw was a “No compression parts saw” $50 for the pair as is.

Fuel lines and a carb kit and it’s back to life. Lots of life left in her.

Some days are better then others on Amazon.

 

[EngineNoO9]

Not a saw but picked up an older craftsman 36” pull behind tiller for $275. Starts on 1 pull. Crappy pic cause I can’t lift it out of my truck by myself which is fun considering we’re supposed to be social distancing! Waiting on help from my father in law to get it out!

 

[Brownthumb]

Picked up this race saw 1/2 mile from my house last night.
30 bucks I couldn’t pass her up. she has no spark and missing top cover.

 

[The Satch]

My neighbor told me this didn't work, wouldn't hook up properly, and I could have it if I wanted to put the time into fixing it. Stripped it down, did basic maintenance on it, greased the 4 bearings, and it functions like new, blades are even sharp.

That’s a heck of a score they ain’t cheap.

You're telling me! He offered it to me sight unseen, I wasn't about to turn it down, figured worst case I would load it up with scrap and take it to the transfer station where I could dump it for free.

This may be my best haul yet. Just picked up 5 saws, 2 Stihl MS170s, a Husqvarna 550xp, Jonsered 2065 Turbo and Jonsered CS2171.

Paid $60 in total. They don't run, but pulling the muffler off of the 2171 I found this, so I'm pretty excited.

Knowing the guy, they are probably just needing tuned or carbs cleaned. He would use them and they would sit and when the wouldn't start the next year, he would go get another one.

He also threw in 4 bars. One is a 25" Tsumara.
