Minty Jonsered 490

[Arrowhead]

I recently picked up this clean 490. It still has the original bar. I think it even had the original gas in it. I cleaned the tank, replaced the lines and rebuilt the carb. It's very low hours. I just can't get enough of these Partner 500 based saws.

Yep thats a very nice one Ed!

Mine aint too shabby either.

Nice one Ed. I don't know where you guys are finding all these cool saws- I never see anything like that around here.

JJ, I got lucky and found mine with a really cheap buy it now on ebay only about 5 minutes after it was listed.

Really surprised the guy that it sold almost as fast as he listed it. Said he thought he might have underpriced it since it sold so fast. :hmm3grin2orange:

This one showed up on ebay a few days back. It was an auction, but I emailed him and offered him a buy it now.

Nice one Mark. This saw came set up with 3/8". I haven't had it in the wood yet.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Mine just came with the standard equipment, a broken front handle. :msp_rolleyes:

A member here helped me out with a good used one for it though.

The 5000 handle setup was much better.

Would a complete runner be worth $70? Not like I need another 50cc saw. How much better is it than a Husky 55? I'd think it'd be the same if it uses the same P&C.

 

[Nardoo]

Ouch! You guys quit posting those pretty saws please - my blood pressure just can't stand it. I bet they are just photo-shopped and your saws are all scratched and old like mine.

My 510sp will cut much faster than my 55 rancher, probably because the rancher has open ports
