Would you consider a trade, I got a truckload of all mag Homies, ya can have em all, fill yer truck box full next time you are up this way. Worth much monies just for scrap, wait a min, that all they is likely good for, some run but they might have air leaks.......LOL
Nah...no trades....I've had this saw since 1965....couldn't get it to run....didn't know much about saws back then other than my first saw which was a Lombard.....anyway ended up trading it off with a friend for something else I didn't need.......he was going to a local vocational school and took it in to their shop as his "Project".....went all through it, new seals, carb kit, fuel line, points etc. Got it running great but even though this guy was 6' 8" and weighed 275 lbs. and cut a fair amount of wood, he had little interest in actually using it even as a yard saw. So it sat some more and a couple years later I took it back in trade just to even out the value of two other things we were trading. I took it back to the island of it's youth for a camp saw.....my father, then in his 80's said it was to heavy for him.....so it sat some more.....I was out there one fall and ran out of wood and there was a nice dry spruce blowdown about 16" dia. I filed the Mac and fired it up.....at WOT you could count the teeth go by......I worried two blocks off the stump in ten minutes and shut it off......it hasn't been started since....that would have been...perhaps 1980. I took the 49sp out the next trip and finished the rest of the tree in about ten minutes.....about a quarter cord.....LOL!!
