Hello Everyone:
First, I'd like to express my gratitude for the wealth of information on this site. Before coming here, I had little idea of what kind of saw to look for or what brands are good bets. It was nice to shop with all this information at hand!
I just posted the winning bid for a two-year-old John Deere CS62. The price seems low ($225) for a saw of this quality and (by the looks of the pictures and description) condition. Regardless, I'm driving up to Wisconsin tomorrow to look it over before paying for it and picking it up. Would anyone here mind giving me some much-needed advice about what I should look for? Tell-tale signs that the saw has had a hard life and is likely to need expensive repairs or will not run very well through the rest of its life?
Thanks for any wisdom anyone is willing to share.
Jim
