That’s the thing I don’t know anything about saws and I’m sure they know it
We all do dont worry thats not the problem problem is getting compensated from them.

I know it’s been a pain in the hind quarters
Well what was the last thing he told you? I wonder if you can put in an insurance claim to his company?

He called and said he was looking for a used saw to replace mine I said I didn’t want a used one I know nothing about he said well I’m not giving you a new one unless you wanna pay the difference on 1200. I said that’s not gonna happen he said you have an old saw they don’t make them anymore I said yes it was older but it was literally like new he didn’t believe me, he is the owner and I was told he is never in the shop. The guy I left the saw with told him it was in great shape

IDK ,demand they buy you a super clean one to replace it they still are out there used. It might cost even more but someone on here may have or come up with one I am sure.
See if he has one I bet he does he may have many.

I am waiting on a call now but I may wait all day
Keep notes of everything that transpired so you can look back for reference this will drag out a while I bet!
Well you need to find one to replace it.

Write it all down the way you remember and check with your small claims court there I think its past the statute of limitations IDK your State laws! Maybe a small claim can be filed IDK its either a month or a year?
@Tbroten65. Did you contact the saw shops insurance company? I may have missed it if you did. Welcome to AS.
OK, I just thought if he was a member here, we might be able to find some pictures of the saw some where on this site, is all. Pictures of it's condition would help put a value on it.
I think if, it was really nice, and like new, like you say, $600 is a conservative or too low of a price.
I sold a mint like new, 044 on here two years ago, for $800. I had no problem getting that price. That saw was only up for sale for a few hours, before it was sold, I had several people who wanted to buy it.
This is it.

If I took a like new 044 to the dealer to get fixed, and their shop burned down, they would be buying me a new 461 to replace it with. Not some clapped out 044 from craigslist or offer up. But that is just me.
Many thanks Wolf, I do know a bit about them but pricing is as always, condition is paramount and hours are second. We would need actual picts of the saw plus shots of the cylinder and piston through the exhaust port. From that I can tell a whole lot as I have been building these saws since the mid 90`s, they come in all sorts of condition and each one needs plenty of detective work.

Can you get the old 044 out of the burned building debris? Should be easy to find. Check the serial number off of the crankcase to see if it is really the same saw!
If it is your burned saw the piston/ cylinder can be looked at.
