This all is officially my best roadside, free dollar, score. I stopped for the chainsaw (McCulloch Pro Mac 55) and the pellet gun trap and the gentleman asks me if I want a power washer too. While he's retrieving that his lovely wife asks me if I'd like a trailer too! The PM55 appears complete, and has good compression, but needs at least a muffler as it is rusted out, and some work on the recoil. The power washer runs, but doesn't make pressure, so the pump needs to be rebuilt or replaced presumably. The trailer had a busted sheet of safety glass I needed to clean out, but it otherwise perfectly serviceable. What a score!

Oh, and to top it all off, the next day I was at the transfer station. I threw an old wheel in the metal pile and gave everything a quick looking over for any goodies. I saw a few interesting items, but nothing I was willing to get yelled at for taking (by the dump folks, nor my wife). LOL. I got in my truck and then took one last look at the pile in my mirror and I noticed the color orange peeking out from under an old grill. I jump out and saved this beauty from a sad end. It has compression, but that's as far as I've gotten in the diagnostics, so we'll see. This is my first top-handle saw.
Haha you suck!

064AV found locally on Facebook $200
Original owner, operators manual included, as well as 5 ripping chains.
Has been run with somekind of ****** bar oil, so the oiler had siezed - destroying the worm gear.
Got the oil pump and lines freed up, and a worm gear ($10) on order.
Ordered some other stuff as; bucking spikes, elastostart handle, clutch springs and a 25" b/c.

You definitely suck. Not many good scores like that in my neck of the woods
1$ scrap yard , knowing that before I paid 68$ for a fleabay one...67$
Met an older guy at a yard sale , he told me he had a McCulloch at his house turned out he didnt but sold me this for 94$ the 012avp,435husky,homelite weed wacker mac blower,runs with tinkering.
It lives!!
Took a little coaxing to get going but idles great, runs smooth at wot. With the MM it is a tad loud
Compression at 180 so I think the rings are ok

I've been saying this for years! And then lately things having been panning out for me. I guess it's just persistence.... Oh, and pounding FB marketplace and CraigsList... a lot.
Both for $50? You can keep that dreaded 180c but the o39? They go for hundreds here as long as they work. I just serviced one & gave her a tune so it revs nice %& strong but yeah, the Clamshell plastic sectioning is a joke as I prefer to remove pull start cover & clean out when servicing but, not doing that with these. The infamous nylon oiler worms & hassle with dismantling handle to get to anything on these really sux. Not much better working on the Jonny 2036/40 series with their ridiculous carb/throttle set up that makes replacing carbs a small nightmare.... Sorry for long winded response
Picked this ol' beauty up a few months back for $140 with near new Bar & Chain. Owned by an older guy who had it sitting idle for few months with stale fuel (not too bad though) in. Bit of history behind her: was used as a spare saw for Forestry Dept long ago & was retired in good nic to this guy who used it now & then. I broke the pull start cord on initial test & Muffler was dented but got a NOS part for cheap enough. Revs up & cuts well with just a good service & flush. Dying to really test it out though. Shame it only has the smaller 17" bar. Would've liked the 21"...
Worked on this recently & managed to get it revving ok without carb tear down. Poor thing had almost succumbed to old stale fuel syndrome. Had a 26" Bar on...
Scored this in Dec odd of 2018. Don't have a price as it was purchased along with the Stihl as a package sale with much equipment from an ex-mechanic. $15-$20 ea? Starts & runs but dies (I think lol, been a while since) & I need to have a proper look @ it but comp seems ok...
A little Gem I picked up Dec? 2018. Just needing a clutch cover. Runs & revs really well & have a bar & chain off an 011 when I find a cover

Ah prices?
Opps, my bad.
The 08s I picked up for $140 with near new bar & chain.
The Dolmar 116 & Stihl 020 I picked up for nics as one of a dozen or so of saws in various condition from a few bundle buy outs (Mechanic retiring sold all his gear to me along with mowers/Trimmers etc) so, don't have solid pricing. Probably amounted to $15-$20 each for those 2? I'll edit original post cheers...
