Sold Shindaiwa 488 package deal

[Ryan'smilling]

I have 2 Shindaiwa 488s that I want to sell together. One is a parts saw in a box. Piston was scored and is not included. Cylinder should clean up. Everything else is there.

The other I acquired recently in a trade with @old guy. Neither of us have run it much, but cosmetically it's in very good shape. Missing a little paint on the clutch cover, but otherwise it's clean and shiny. It has an adjustable H jet. The parts saw does not. It starts up and runs well. The starter rope is a little short. I think Jon deleted the base gasket and opened up the muffler.

I'd like to get $175 plus actual shipping for both saws. No bars or chains included.

Do you have any pictures of the parts saw and what's missing from it other than the piston?

Sorry, no pictures on hand. I can snap a couple tomorrow afternoon though. To the best of my knowledge, it's all there other than the piston.

Yeah, they're damned good little saws. I had a third one too, and wasn't planning on selling them, but a ported 346 is getting mailed my way, and I have a couple of other nice 50cc saws, so I just didn't think I needed these. Be good to replenish my cash after the husky purchase. The first one I bought served me really well. Never once did it fail to start. Never shut off while idling. Just a super reliable piece of equipment.

Bump.

I just found four 5.2oz bottles of stihl ultra oil in my stash. I'll throw them in with these shinnies to sweeten the deal.

Here's a video of the 488 running this afternoon:



Wood is poplar. The chain is Oregon full-chisel .325. 18" bar. The chain is sharp, but has cut a couple dozen rounds from similar material.

This needs a bump, these are sweet little rigs...

Thanks Russ. I totally forgot to change the thread. These saws have a new home in Iowa. I hope they treat their new owner very well.
