Guido Salvage
Supreme Saw Whoreder
Some of you may have seen pictures of my Homelite 540 that I bought new almost 20 years ago. Believe it or not, I scored it at Northern Hydraulics (now known as Northern Tools). Never ran the 20" B&C that came on it but swapped on a 30" Total bar. I suspect that it has not had 3 tanks of fuel run through it in its lifetime. Here is a picture of it last spring.
I had also posted about the mobile saw storage unit I had bought at a salvage auction. You can see the 540 on the top shelf.
I had to utilize my floor jack today in order to put new brake pads on my wife's car. Unfortunately, the jack was behind my storage cart. As I was moving the cart back into the garage the 540 fell off the top shelf. This is the result:
As you can see, it landed handle first. In order to bring it back to its former self I will need a new case as well as an air filter cover. Makes me wish I had bought the Homie MP88 chop saw on e-Bay last month for the case. I doubt there are any out there as nice as mine was, can anyone help on the needed parts?
