Buy them as near runners needing fuel system refurb and such.

The S25CVA is top of the heap. 38cc of reed snort. Way fat for climbing. Bucket saw.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't want have to track down top ends for them. I have several variations of the XXV & the 2300, but have no experience with the early ones.

Added fuel, oil, mounted new bar/chain and cut wood. 56 bux to my door.

That's pretty good for a runner that didn't need any basic TLC :clap:.

I'll go you one better. On eBay I found a 2300 (re-badged as a Craftsman), very clean, with a (new?) bar that showed no sign of being used, with a chain that just needed some light filing. Opening bid .99, shipping 18.00. I bid $5.00 just for the heck of it.

I got it for $19.00 total. Has spark, and the piston still has the machining marks looking through the exhaust. A very low hours saws is my guess. Downside--It did need new fuel lines.

Edit--I like the design on the Super XXV CV, you don't have to remove the entire side cover to get to the chain.
 
They're fun to collect. Cheap to acquire. Usually just need fuel system overhauls to get running. Perform well for what they are. And the coolest part....

....they come in lots of different flavors!

My oldest is a model XX in real nice shape. Just can't get the carb dialed in right. Any tips there would be tremendously appreciated.

:cheers:

Good Job! I started a project just like that several years ago. Got two old power poles laid across for the main support, and got a bunch of oak logs ready to mill planks out of, and thats where it stopped. :( Just havn't got around to milling them yet. Maybe some day!

Gregg,
 
New addition to the team, Poulan Pro 655 BP with a 28" bar. Did a good amount of cleaning it up last night, runs great, p/c look really good too. Not perfect by any means but overall in really good shape. Pretty darn excited about this one!
