I keep a boot tray in the trunk for dirty saws, I ran out of tray today. I think the 029 is the only runner, but it's sale alone will more than double my investment. The 044 is a bit of a contradiction. Very early 12mm serial number with a red lever and slant fin jug.

Had a buddy of mine, after a few drinks lol, give me his stihl 038 mag. Says "couldn't get the bastard to run". Well new fuel line, filter and a pulse hose (cracked) and runs like a champ.

Got this (Echo CS-271T) for $80 at my local pawn shop (they had a 50% off sale). It needs a new air filter and chain catch, but besides that, I'll have to dig a little deeper to see what additional work it needs.

It took a few extra pulls to get it started, but seems to run fine. I have yet to inspect the piston or cut any wood with it, so we have yet to see how well I made out.
 
I've been wanting a Poulan XXV for a while now. Was at the weekly Tuesday auction this afternoon, and saw a little yellow saw up ahead. Thought it might be a Mini Mack. Got closer and I thought, "That's an XXV someone painted yellow. Then I saw the Sears on it. I knew Poulan made a lot of saws for Sears. I got it for $10. While I was waiting for the sheet of bids to get over to the office, I took it up to my truck. Dumped the old gas, put half tank in it, and a shot down the carb. The recoil was real loose, so after each pull I had to doodle with it to rewind. After 4-5 pulls it started up and ran great, idles, winds up. Happy camper. I got it home and wiped it off with a clean rag, took the recoil off and put about 6 turns on it and tightened the rope right up. Choked it twice, third pull fired right off. Oh, and the B&D folding work bench, got it for $10 too.
