Whats the best deal on a saw you've ever got?

[struggle]

Let the cat out of the bag on that one :wink: Nice score, and to bad you didn't keep it :sad:

Lets see as far as the best deal I can't think...

$85 - If it had 2hrs of run time I would be astonished. Needed a carb kit from sitting 2-3 years.

$40 + $25 for the bar and chain= $65... traded for a 520i Makita to match saw above.

$250+Shipping for both 076 (needed fuel lines and muff cover), 9010 Makita needed rear handle, rebuild, and air box (not pictued)

Traded my rebuilt 026 (cost me $50), for this 046mag and $50 = $100 invested +time

This load isn't a saw but got it all from the same place. To follow Jacobs lead... the cost was $200 but you can't calculate how much this chain and tools will earn me and save me in repairing saws and heating my home. Cost was $250 for 700 ft of chain (ish), 140+ piece tap and die (quality US made not junk), Breaker spinner, and 5 new bars, 4-5 master link kits 100pieces+ each, and lots of MISC parts!!!!!

Also got a redmax 3800 free...

I'm just not a Dolmar kind of dude I guess. I still have a Dolmar 5100S that I need to re-home. Everything I have bar and chain wise all fits Stihl

All my Mac 797's including Supers and the one gear drive were less that $150.00 each....several orange 2100's were free I would never pay for those

Adam Clarke handed me a 084 with 21" to carry out at Chardon one year when we were both at the races there. He told me to put the 084 with my stuff it was mine for FREE. Adam is one good honest incredible saw building guy.

Old pics before fixing it up and still stock. The 084 now lives back in Calif and racing on pipe with another Adam. :msp_thumbup:

I called it project ugly duckling

 

[Macman125]

A most honorable mention!

Thank you. I love the thing, It's my go to saw unless I'm in the big stuff.

064 on Craigslist for $250. Needed a crank bearing, but I was pretty happy with it.

I had to put $100. worth of gas through the truck to get that load.

 

[ft. churchill]

A partner P85 for 19 bucks. I was told it had a bad piston, and it had snow in it as it was outside in a box with the muffler off of it. Piston was not that bad, but I treated the old Nordic girl to a new piston and rings. Ditched the base gasket, touched up the ports, did a MM and got it running today. So the piston kit cost 35.00, total 54 bucks for a strong runnin' 85cc saw.
