Sold Super Clean 026

[Ryan'smilling]

My friend is the original owner of this saw. He never heated with wood, just used it to do cleanup on some relative's property. It's lived its whole life in a case. I'm about 99% sure that it is wearing its original drive sprocket and likely the bar is original as well. As you can see in the picture, it's never thrown a chain. I did blow it off with an air compressor and washed off the recoil and clutch covers with some soapy water. I have some "before" pictures as well if potential buyers are interested. I would buy it from my buddy for my own use, but I am a 346 guy these days, so it's looking for a good home. This saw runs, idles, and oils. It does have the fully adjustable carb. I made a test cut before cleaning it off and it does 4-stroke out of the wood. That said, if it was mine, I'd want to put a new air filter, fuel line and impulse line on it before putting it back into regular service. I'm leaving that up to the new owner because I'm not super familiar with 026s and I'd rather not get in over my head. I'm asking $400 and we can split shipping. Not really looking for trades unless you've got a 346 I can't live without, or maybe partial trade for M12 tools I don't already have.

@chipper1, I don't think this quite counts as "mint" but I thought it was nice enough to spend a little time on the kitchen table.

Piston pics plus a closeup of the case rash on near the oil cap. There is a tiny bit more paint missing on the underside visible in the pictures above.

Not mint, but surely a nice example of an early 026 .
Pretty sure these are lighter than the 346 .

Nice 026

Looks like a nice find. If I hadn't just acquired my 2nd 026 a few weeks ago I wood be all over this. This old man has numerous saws to use but the 026's get exercised the most.

All the way out to the eastern seaboard in fact. I hope this saw lives on for decades.

WOW!!! I've got a really nice, clean 026, but this one makes mine look its age! I's have to put that in a glass case in the man cave!
