The farm hoss , i love it
Sweet. One of my favorites, hard to argue with the value at the "used retail" price, at that price it's a solid you suck
.
Husqvarna 61, missing muffler and brake flag and needs top end. It's way cleaner in person, even the bar looks new. It also came with an echo cs370 that needed a wrap handle, coil and fuel line, part of a 455, fs90 and a ssr pit bike. Paid irony aluminum price for it. 
I still have the 359 me and my dad bought new in 2003 it was 390$ with 20" bar and 2 chains , this one i just bought has a muffler like i have never seen beforeSweet. One of my favorites, hard to argue with the value at the "used retail" price, at that price it's a solid you suck
That's cool.
I wouldn't sell mine for that much, it looks about like when you and your dad bought that one
.Here's mine.

Does the one you just got have a "jungle" muffler, like this. If so it's an after market muffler is all. I've seen a few of the factory ones come loose and then they crack around the bolt holes/mount and are junk.
Picked this up at a yard sale down the road. Case, 18” bar, brand new 0.325 chain and one dull chain that was never sharpened.$75 for saw, needed a carb kit, fuel filter, and bar oil pump gear leak fixed. Just used it over the weekend, works flawlessly.

Picked up a poulan 3400 last week. Came with new 20” bar and chain, 1 new chain still in box, and 2 chains they were used but never sharpened. New fuel line and filter and up an running. Seeems to be a pretty strong saw. Will have about $20 in it once I sell the chains and an old mower that came with it. Thrill of the hunt is over though. Probably be on sale here next week.

I get you suck deals so often and I never post here. This haul of 372 happened tonight when I stopped in looking for a $1.39 base gasket. These cost me less than what I've seen one of the cylinders cleaned up sell for. There is at least one whole saw in there...

Awesome saw,enjoy the good run of luck. I have not been able to score a deal all year. The closest deal I got was from our home hardware store $40. Off a fs 90 trimmer and a nice looking lady took ma money at the register. My nice lookin lady at home was not impressed at all but my fs 110 trimmers (3 of them) are finally getting tired. I had an amazing run with them. P.S the big city folk are running to battery powered saws and at my landscape convention tooted the're green horns, maybe at me. All I could say and do was laugh. I am in the country with weeds so big, you can grow pigmy tribes in, good luck with batteries. That said, however, double cheers to battery powered scores becuase I do honestly try to do my best for the envirionment. I even bought a new to me (2009) flex fuel Sierra 2500. Just as bad as my precious Dodges were but nicer ride, I keep telling myelf. Happy hunting!!

Got this locally for $50. Previous owner said that it would quit running after half a tank. Fuel line fell apart. This thing was DIRTY, dirtier than my ex-wife.
Complete teardown and rebuild. Reringed it with cabers and removed the base gasket.
First start up hurt my knuckles, tested compression. This is with 2 stroke oil on the cylinder walls and rings, but still impressive:
It lowered some during break in:

When I learned Jonsered (beautiful Red Husqvarna with a MUCH better grip), was to be no more (get 'em while they last!), as Husky is rebranding them as Redmax, I decided to locate and buy a Jonsered 2260. I have been drooling over them for several years. Can't wait any longer as they will soon disapear, perhaps forever. During my search, I found a 2172! The 2260 Has been ordered, should arrive next week. But this 2172, which arrived... is SWEET! 
I sold an 026 to a buddy of mine that was a spare parts build for him after his kid supposedly seized his Craftsman(he used to own a Sears) last fall. He gave me the old saw, I figured Maybe parts.
Turns out the recoil had gotten a bit tight, not sure what that's about as it comes and goes, but now that there is gas in the tank it runs fine...
It isn't much of a saw, but it'll sell easy. It's one of the 16" 40cc ones that's really 42cc.
