Well we're in Pine Mountain Ga., we took the grandkids for a weekend get away. Been scoping out yard sales as we pass by, so far I haven't seen any saws.

On the way to see my girlfriend, I got partner f65, a tecumseh 85cc two stroke motor from a hoffco whizz witch, and a homelite 350 for $20. Is a homelite 350 a desirable saw?

I like the 350's. Not exactly the easiest saw to work on, and they usually need the ubiquitous carb boot replaced. What are you thinking you want for it, as I may possibly be interested?

$20 bucks plus $50 in gas. [emoji38]

Does 30 plus shipping sound okay?

Well, we're at the Wild Animal Safari, was in the big buses they use, in the middle of a pack of big different animals when the brakes went out. Well, they had to get another bus, Chase the animals back so we could unload and load back up. Wasn't to bad, used to being around animals.

Today's acquisition, an Echo 601S from 1974. I drove 1:45 each way for this one. Totally worth it! The price was right at $20 including original IPL and owners manual! He has a bunch of vintage pioneers if anyone is interested, a 3270, a p20, a 1200a and some p41s in various stages of basket case. Ton of parts too...

I might be interested in a P-41 basketcase with good cosmetics

I remember when the forestry tried to replace the 10-10s with 602s, they failed, then continued with the faulty thinking and bought 702s.
They pawned them off on F&G who didn't know any better and bought new 10-102.
Echoes are very well made and sturdy, power to weight was lacking.

A few pic's to bring the thread back on topic.
And yes it does have a boost port.The 655 may not be real vintage but the BP1 is.
Both rolled in this month.View attachment 603221 View attachment 603222 View attachment 603223
