gave her a bit of a clean up, would you look at that hardly even got any paint rubbed off the bar mount.
I hope this qualifies. I found a Husqvarna 35 for $35 at a garage sale about 3 weeks ago, It runs perfect.
I went back to the same guy the other day, and bought a John Deere CS52 for $125, it also runs great, after a little work.

Saturday was spring clean-up, in the town I live...it's where everyone in town can set all of their junk by the road, and the sanitation company picks up Anything for free. I figure not all people's junk is actually junk, so Friday night I went driveing around to see if I could find some gems. I didn't find no chainsaws, but I did find a gem. I was driving around in one neighborhood, that people are known to have more money then brains, and I see a real nice blue push mower with bagger sitting next to a pile of trash, what I found was a Mack (like the truck) self propelled 3 in one, zero turn mower made by Ariens. I checked to make sure it wasn't locked up, and loaded it. I got home, checked the oil, put some fresh premium in it, primed it, and pulled it about 10 times, and nothing. I put it in the garage, and went to bed. Saturday morning I woke up, and decided to work on the Mack. The plug looked good, so I moved on to the carb, right away I noticed that the air intake was held on with 2 zipties, which was not even close to sealed, so the carb was sucking in dirt. I cut the zip ties, and removed the intake, sprayed some starting fluid in the carb, and it poped right off, ran for 2 seconds and then killed, I repeated the process a few more times, with the same results. Next I removed, cleaned, and remounted the carb, then off to the hardware store, to get hardware to properly mount the intake. I put it all back together, primed it, and she popped off on the first pull.....Success! Now everything including the transmission works as it should.....and I only have literally $1.55 in this mower.....it's a sweet PM for $1.55.
Picked up this DCS6000I at a yard sale. Runs great, cleaned up very good, needs a brake band,,, got one???

Wish I did. That's kind of a rare one I think. Nice.
Never seen a scabbard with a spring like that. Cool idea.
Scabbard is common here, spring not so much, that one is about done, usually not so unwound spring with a plastic clip on it, I use elastic cord one the spring goes,,.

I'm new at this CAD thing so I'm feeling pretty good about my score today.
Picked up this ms260 today for $40 Canadian.
Called the seller like 20 mins after the add was posted and he said another guy had spoken for it.
I told him if that falls through I'll be there. Figured I wouldn't hear from him again like the last 5 saws I was guy #2.
About 5pm tonight he called me and said the other guy didn't want the saw??? (I know how could that be??)
Piston is scored exactly like the last one I picked up so she'll need a piston for sure.
Man was this thing caked with mung!!
I'm super happy to get a new project to play with.

Here's a few shots after a preliminary cleaning.
Someone got a little crazy with some white paint and painted the handle and the sprocket cover. Paint seems to be chipping off easily.
Top covers are in good shape, handle needs a good scrubbing.
Cosmetically the saw looks terrible but mechanically it seems like it has little use.
Had a good peak at the piston and cylinder. Piston is 100% toast, both rings are stuck.
Cylinder only has a slight smear on it so it should clean up nice.
Being new to saw rebuilding (this will be my 3rd) I think I'm going to do crank seals, a carb kit and the piston.
And since I'm only into it for $40 I might port it to. Good saw to practice on since I already have a strong running 260.

21 chains for $13@ auction the NOS McCullough 100 was originally bought more than twelve years ago. It hid in the box bottom, camera shy?
