And here I thought they did away with a that prostitution on Craigslist so you got screwed for a $100. :jester:
yup, right way is to get a replacement crank/seals in it. Maybe add a piston ring.
alternative could be to carefully drill and tap the center of the broken crank and retain the flywheel with a good grade 5 bolt and washers. or find a machinist that
can do the drill and tap.
fwiw
Really you didn't get screwed, but weren't that what you were trying to do????
Now don't get me wrong, I like a great deal as much as the next guy, and would have GLADLY paid twice the asking price for my 5.2 Craftsman.
And when the seller lowered it from $150.00 to $100.00 before I ever said a word, I told him that was too much saw for the price and he was selling it too cheap.
He stuck to the $100.00 price and I whipped a Franklin on him so quick I'm surprised it didn't cut his hand off.
But if you had bought a pristine 026Pro for $100.00 you would have been on here telling everyone what a great deal you got.
You got exactly what you paid for, and I will use the offers of getting your money back as my evidence. If you were truly screwed, instead of two or three members offering to buy you out, they would have been laughing or at least consoling.
No my friend, you bought a $100.00 026 that needs a little work.
Go forth and be happy!!!!

Holy Crap!!! Mike is the Dr. Phil of AS. I feel better now! Point is, I wished the guy would have told me the issues up front and then said 100 firm.

HEY!!!!!
I like that!
Do you mind if I use it in my sig???
I understand your feeling slighted but you can replace the crank and bearings and still come out way ahead on a fine saw.
There is the possibility that the guy bought the saw to flip and had no clue the crankshaft was broken!

You know the real kick in the a$&. A friend of mine gave me three 026/ms260's and a ms441 a few weeks ago. They had been in a fire. The only thing I saved were the 026 mufflers, cylinders and pistons. I tossed the the rest in a dumpster behind a liquor store. I sure wish I had saved one for parts.
Where does he live? I know a tree guy whose recourse with things like this is dumping a load of crap/stumps/chips in front yards at 4am...
Mike, Mike,, Its no use trying to console him!!!! I've been trying and he's still whining,,, Dr. Phil,,, LOLOL!!!! thats a good one!!!! I'm gonna give the lil sniveler some Rat rep for that one!!!!!
OK I am sniveling. $100 is the most I have EVER spend on a saw. It equals the price I spend for my 066 that was in perfect working condition when the seller sold it to me.
It came with an 18" rollomatic E and that crappy Stihl low kickback chain. I think its RMC3 or something like that
