[Meadow Beaver]

Just got this saw the other day from Pine Martin and I think it's in pretty good condition, what do you fellas think?

I like it for sure but, I'm kind of a Homelite freak. Actually the more I think about it, perhaps just a freak in general. If you need a dog, let me know, I have a bunch of them lying around. They use 1/4"x3/4" slotted flat head machine screws to attach. I might have some of those laying around also.

No... not chainsaw collectors. They can't be freaks can they?

I don't know much on it's history but it still has the original air filter and I think the spark plug might be too.

It's actually not bad, saw has some really good compression too.

Nice saw, a blue vintage Homelite is on my list. The never ending list........

 

[Meadow Beaver]

Yeah first I'm gonna see if it starts ( which I think it will cuz when I was puling it over I didn't know it was on and I heard her pop) then I think I'll go drop some trees with it, and then clean it and put it on the shelf.
