I don't know.
Sorry no pics.

Someone left a Jonsereds 490 at the dump. Took it home, put in some gas & oil, fired right up. Gave it to my BIL.

Traded a pair of pump jacks for a nice running 020av super. Never want to see pump jacks again! Great limbing saw with a 12" bar.

Neighbor gave me his old blue Homelite XL12. Ran great, but I sold it. No anti-vibe is too much for this old fat guy!

Not sure of this qualifies...love the look of these heavy beasts. Previous owner said it hadn't ran in 4-5 years..pull starter was put in wrong, and fuel line wasn't hooked up...fixed those couple things...dislodged the chain from the bar...(a bit rusty). Put some fuel in it....fired right up

Well, your level of "suckage" is in direct correlation to what you paid, and which model of saw that is.

Edit: I zoomed in, and saw the 051AV on the cover. Nice piece of magnesium saw history.

image.jpg Not huge suckage here. But it was my first saw and I paid $35 for it. I muffler modded it after lurking around this site. Lol.
image.jpg Second suckage is this 032 av electronic quickstop that I scored for $50. It's a good runner that just needed cleaning and a tune. I'll be using it tomorrow. image.jpg Lastly , this 570 I picked up with a brand spankin bar and chain for $120. I can't wait to try it out.
None of these is a $75 051, but I think I did ok!

Perry,

You're welcome. I hope you can bring it back to its former glory.

So AS member @Four Paws (Josh), and his much better half made a detour on their way home, and stopped by for a visit. After a lot of laughs, an early dinner, and more laughs, Josh went out to their SUV, and came back with a gift for me.

My first Olympyk.

I fired it off briefly, and it sounds sweet.

Thanks Josh, and Meg for a great visit.

Not a full blown you suck saw, maybe more of a "you stink" or "I don't like you right now" saw.

Husqvarna 61 practica, paid 50 canadian peso's for it, runs ok, brake works, top cover is a little melted, but looks like a decent runner.
