New (to me) saw!

[SadShoe27]

Ive been looking for a top handle saw for a while now but can't justify the $650 for a new one. My Stihl 290 is a bit too big for cutting up the smaller branches. I found this little guy on let go for $60! I jumped all over it. It's not pretty but it runs great! Looking at the little wear on the bar, I think it bounced around in the back of a truck for a while and didn't get used much. It needs a new air filter cover and filter. Does anyone know of a good place to buy parts? I'm in TX if that matters.

The bar and chain are most likely newer additions to a work saw, but who really cares? You've done great finding a score like that.

Thats very cheap.
Is it hot?

When I touch it, it doesn't burn my hands

How would you know? The guy I bought it from didn't look like that kind of guy but who knows. He said he had it for about a year. A few days after I bought this saw he sold me a stihl hedge trimmer for $50. I think he just doesn't know what he has and what it's worth.

You can find parts on eBay. Where in Texas?

Then you should be able to find a good Stihl dealer close by. I have two or three close to me.
