Want to Buy Needed, Good saws or easily fixable larger CC chainsaws.

[262freak]

Hi guys, I live in Fairview near Asheville NC and out bridge has washed out and there are still dozens of trees that have to be cut. I only have my Stihl 025 which has gotten me a path through the woods to get supplies and be able to get picked up for supplies and gas, but there are so many large trees that I have to clear.
If anyone has any larger CC chainsaws that I can buy or possibly trade for something. I need to cut the trees out of out driveway and clear our exit I have others willing to help but I’m the only one around with any saws. My 272xp is still missing vital parts but eBay suppose to have them here soon my 357xp I’m waiting on the cylinder, piston and still needing a top cover for it and the 272xp. If anyone has any large cc saws that are low priced runners or have something that would be a quick fix. I’m also needing a couple smaller saws. Of course I would love to get Stihl, husqvarna, or Dolmar any chainsaws would work. I’m not asking for you guys to give me your queens but if you have any saws off in the corner please let me know and what you need for them.
Thank you guys either way

How are you coming along with your saw needs and work?

Yeah thanks to Chris @singinwoodwackr ok he sent me a 371xp and several 017 builders so that has really helped out tremendously. I’m still on the lookout for a 357xp top cover and a couple bars and chains so I can lend out some of the saws I’m about finished with. If you happen to have any larger cc builder saws that you have off in the corner and aren’t too expensive let me know. There are quite a few other ppl and organizations that are in need.

Would a couple 12 inch , .043 gauge chains and a bar work to help you out ? What other size, length, and gauge chains you need ? I have an array of used chains in good condition that need sharpened or possibly the depth gauges synchronized, some may need a link out to shorten . I throw them when they get near excessive any thing so if you have a good grinder they should be well worth the time. I hand file about 95 percent because my cheap grinder is sloppy when it comes to evening the angles and depth gauges.

 

[262freak]

Yeah definitely, I’m out and about right now I’ll let you know when I get back home. Thank you

Aiming to look through what I have later tomorrow.
Used chains that need sharpened ( likely were cutting crooked and rakers or teeth need evened) or may need shortened a link , they would be free, think I have 1 or more in 20 inch. You good with that? Might be a 76 link 22 in 3/8 ..058 out there if you have or can get a 22 inch bar?
357 take small 095 or large Mt 009 bar?

I have 2 345s one stock and one with a 350 top end, smaller than the 70ccsaws you have but might be worth having over there, let me know!

yeah, that would be great I’m looking for a 22” bar for a 272xp I have. The 357 I’m putting together I’m trying to put a 18-20 bar on.

Yeah they would be nice to have around and I have a few 350 parts that I could use if anything was needed. Just let me know on how much and shipping.

I have the 72 dl 3/8 .050 chains you are looking for. May have some suitable bars too. Not looking to sell them, just want to help out some folks in need.
Might have an older (but running) saw or two as well.

@Brushwacker According to Acres the 357 he is building will need a small mount bar. I sent him a 24" small mount bar yesterday, which MIGHT work ok with skiptooth and patience, but smaller would be better. The 24" K095 was all I had on hand.

 

[sean donato]

The 357 isn't going to like a 24" bar. 18-20" would be more in uts wheel house. Should be .325 on it too, not 3/8 unless someone swapped out rims.

Yeah I kinda figured but I’m sure someone out here will have some use for it, if not after all this mess has gotten Cleaned up maybe I’ll put a 272 jug on it have it ported and put a larger carb on it then it might pull it.

 

[sean donato]

a hybrid building would be a better option power wise. Just thinking practicality for your situation. Don't need a good saw over loaded/abused, since it's going to be loaned out. I sincerely wish you the best of luck with your circumstances.

Yeah after all this is done with if I don’t give it away I plan to do something extreme with the 357

 

[woodfarmer]

I could send you a 2165 and two 22” bars and chains for around $450?

I am very aware of that, but I gave him what I had. Maybe you have a more appropriate bar and chain you'd like to send him for free. Or do you only dispense advice?

Your "free" bar will over work that saw, seeing as he's loaning them out, it's worth the note of caution that it's not suited well for the application. You certainly get your knickers wadded up over a prudent word of caution, which was also free.
