I enjoy a good success story, even when it's not me making the cash off it.

Comet Diesel Chainsaw
Google says one collector paid $1,800 for a Comet diesel chainsaw. If this is true, $25 is like stealing candy from a baby.
Scroll down on the Vintage Chainsaw webpage. There are pics and specs.

This just keeps getting better and better! I am eagerly awaiting pics as much as everyone else is. Probably gonna be a few days before my friend can get over there. Dad says the saw is cleaning up pretty well, most of the original paint is intact. How would you handle trying to start this beast?

He had a bunch of old homelites, david bradleys?, wards, and a mall, but my dad said he sold a bunch of them at the yard sale, only had a couple of non runners left. Whoever bought the rest of the saws lost out big time! They picked the wrong ones. Everything was 20-50 bucks, the seller was in his late 70's and was going to move to assisted living. His wife passed away last year and he's getting to be in rough shape. He told my dad that the comet was a runner, last ran in the mid eighties. Hope it is still in good condition.

The letter on acres indicates how it should be started. The procedure seems to be fairly simple. Maybe the seller could jot down a few instructions?
It would be awesome to see and hear a Comet diesel chainsaw running in a video.

Excellent find. Congratulations.
This reminds me of the $30 KMS-4.
This is a great score on a great saw but I see this saw ending up the same way

Buys a rare saw for pennies, comes on here finds out it's desireable and worth a ton then just sells it. He mentioned something about selling it already so it just reminded me of the kms-4 thread.
