Update on the Snapper, I just bought a Grass Gobbler, grass catcher, for it. I had to give the serial number to order it. The first 4 digits were 2014 so I asked if that was the date of manufacture and the dealer said yes. So, my machine is only 3 years old. I did have to put a new PTO on it. The dealer said they come with a 400 hour PTO and I got 520 out of it. The replacement is an 800 hour. Should last me the rest of my life, Joe.

 
A friends score, 3 saws for $40 CDN. All 3 had running issues because of poor maintenance, but a bit of work and a couple of carb kits later, they were all running. An early xl-1 with manual oiler
and decompression release, a later xl-1 AO, and a Poulan micro xxv. The red xl-1 came with the case, 3 chains, (2 of them new) a bar tip greaser, scrench, extra plug, a saftey-tip, and a bottle of original Homelite oil!

Today's massive score. View attachment 582533

That's an MS290 and an MS361, both complete runners; and an 046 Magnum PHO, missing the recoil starter. The 046 also has a bit of cosmetic damage from when the bucket truck it was on caught fire. Total outlay of $225.

Quoting myself, lol...

I sold the 290 for my total investment, so the 361 and carcass 046 were now... FREE!!!

Scored this saw today. $50 delivered to a friend a block away. Good spark and good compression(almost 170 pounds). '96 model. Stored without gas, so not a bunch of varnish crap in it. My first saw in the 670 class. Handle was broken and welded, but won't bother me as I don't plan on parting with this one.

stopped at my TSC store the other day and went to the clearance rack as usual. NEVER saw a chainsaw there. tag said runs rough,no returns. talked to a couple of people in charge and brought this home for less than half of new price. checked all the usual stuff and fired it up. idle seems a little slow but other than that runs fine pi$$ revving it. haven't put it in wood yet but have some green hickory that will give it a work out. will see how it stacks up against the MS 241.
