Ok guys. I always have the worst luck until bout a month ago. I found this saw on the side of the road in tall grass. Was found exactly like its pictured without b/c. I'm guessing it fell off of a truck because of where it was in a sharp curve. The air filter top is busted and the screws that hold the top cover on are broke on one side. As far as I can tell that is all the damage that was done. The saw runs perfect and is my first 395. I asked around with the logger and tree guys around here and nobody was missing one and it's been a month so I'm claiming it as mine. Don't think I'll ever be this lucky again unless my bad luck comes back and the owner comes a wantin his saw. I would give it back I suppose if he could answer a few important questions first. But anyways that's another subject.

3 NOS bow bars: again crusty form wet storage but NOS none the less
If I did not already have a bunch I would hit you up. What size slot do you need? We might be able to swap.

This was on my front porch today. Running Poulan 4400 with a 20" bar and a bow and 3 chains for $50.

Brrraaaaap!
Anyone see that 2171 on VT CL for $40?
I got it
Story was it was straight gassed early on and then ran on mix gas till it locked up. Clean low hour saw, I doubt it's had 10 tanks of fuel through it.
It's a bit dirty from storage but seriously low hours on this saw.
Tore into it and the jug actually looks fine. Very little transfer.
It's a shame, but the big end bearing tossed it's cookies
So not a total "you suck" deal but once I source a good crank and replace that, I'll have a cherry 2171

Got this for free yesterday from a pawn shop buddy. The trigger is broken and the operator presence lever does not spring back. Manufactured in 2013 it is 4 cycle. Anyone know anything about them, who made it or where to find parts?

I believe Tractor Supply sells them, or at least used to. Don't know much about them though.

Said he quit running it once sparks started shooting out the exhaust
The jug looks surprisingly good though! Very little aluminum transfer. No gouges from bearing stuff that I saw.

Checked the oil in the free trimmer, put gas in it and pulled on it about 10 times and it is a runner! My Stihl/Echo dealer apparently sells them, will see if I can get a throttle so it is usable.

I got an old Yazoo lawnmower for $50 at an auction yesterday.. brought it home, did an oil change (rusty crud in there), cleaned the fuel tank and carb out and she fired up with a couple pulls.. will have a bit more work to do going over the bearings and rewelding a couple little cracks in it, but it's in pretty good shape.. I will post pics soon... it's a 36" twin blade with a 10hp briggs, and a 'tow behind' seat

Well, that's what I call a load of junk
*ducks and hides*
Pretty much, but people love these things and a majority of it is gone already

OK, here's the Yazoo
I think that's a score for $50... I'm going to have to spend about $70 in new belts and a few new idler pulley bearings, but it isn't bashed up, engine runs good (after a bit of work), has sharp blades, clutches, brakes and gearboxes are all perfect... I know I wouldn't want to have to buy a machine built with that kind of quality today!
