Craigslist 15 min. Away. He was asking 100 bucks I offered 60 and he agreed.
He said they were fresh out of a barn from upstate ny and he did not do anything with them.
The gas tanks were emptied and clean and all the run switches were in the off position.
The craftsman and the nicer super run pretty good. The other nasty looking super has a rotted fuel line but runs on a squirt of gas and smells and looks like it was living in a stall with a pig.

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.
that's agreat deal even if they can only be used for parts
 
Got these two free saws - both have issues, but seems solvable on the cheap to get running saws out of them.

Poulan P4018WT
Homelite 3816c

The Poulan seems circa 2007, had gas in it and it disintegrated the fuel lines in there, but overall looked very lightly used. Hopefully it'll run, full carb on order in case it needs it plus hoses and filter etc.

The Homelite looked also very new, barely used, circa 2014. Someone had messed with it before, it seems. It is missing some bolts. It had a dinged up chain, the drive teeth were very dorked up but I got its bar & chain to run on the Echo until it also threw it and dinged the drive teeth further - tossing the chain and ordering a new one. The rear handle bottom is cracked a lot where you put your foot, and the throttle spring was undone it was sticking out of the handle. It's also cracked/broken where the chain brake handle bolts in, so it needs a side cover. The chain brake spring cover is plastic and deformed, and overall.... this is a very plastic saw. I did get it to run yesterday though, so that's good!

Hey thats AWESOME, the felling spikes are worth that . Let me know if you make a pattern off them.
 
20200508_132115.jpg70$ scrap yard freshhh! The Mac and the 3500 pop and run on prime. The 3400 has no coil but the body and p/c look great? The 3400 had the factory banana bar and The Mac has the factory sprocket bar.
Someone got the 3500 muffler body ,but I stopped only too pick that one for a trade on a husqvarna 65, the other 2 followed me home. 20200508_135419.jpg20200508_135445.jpg
3400.
 
I asked a local contractor to keep his eyes open for older chainsaws and he said he had a few he’d part with. Picked them up today and they both pull over but haven’t checked anything else out with them. Not sure if this qualifies for the “you suck” forum or not but paid $25 each21FB7776-E8DA-4CEA-90E3-EE8F02855863.jpeg81159D5A-66B1-4F64-98E3-AE3CECFE114E.jpegA90A3E33-8177-4141-9D8A-392B86C156AF.jpeg
 
A pair of 266’s for $50, that’s a you suck deal in my book.
He told me he has a 034, 038 mag and 056 mag also he wants to get rid of. He has to dig them out of his barn and will let me know when to pick them up. The 56 has a blown motor but not sure what else is wrong with it or the other two saws

The piston and cylinder kits and parts are pretty reasonable, even if they are shot, and if he's got the othe saws for you , you better offer to clean that barn for him!!

I worked for his father along with him for about 6 years back in the 90’s so I’ve known him quite awhile. The one 266 had a 32” bar and chain on it but he wouldn’t let that go with it lol
 
there is so much suck in this Page 9. all those saws are way better than the plastic fantastic crap I've got.

Both mine run, they fling a LOT of oil, plus leak it a bit when they sit, but at least they are going to be OK to give away to family free or cheap
 
Hey guys, not sure if this is good enough for the " U Suck" but let me know what you think

So I got the following

Stihl 08S
McCulloch Super Pro 81
McCuloch Super Pro 125
McCulloch Super 250
McCulloch Pro Mac 10..I think

All for free from a friend. I put some spray up the carby on the Stihl and it fired on the 2nd pull...Amazing.
