Dunno if this counts, spotted a snowblower today beside the road, this was next to it, the dealer sticker is half a mile from where I grew up, my dad used to do their repairs for them, more a farm dealer than chainsaws, the old man was pretty sharp with them, so he used to get the repairs and setups sent to him.... assembled their Cub Cadets too. ..25 bucks and came with a parts saw

Damn, she's a beauty! That a/f cover makes me think it might be an early "Mag" model with the dealer hop-up kit. Regardless, it looks like a clean, low-hour saw that should serve you well. Fyi, if you so desire you could run up to a 36 inch bar setup with .404 on that saw.
 
It happened again. Remember my 8 saws for $70? Today it was 10 saws for $100. Bought them from a nice older gentleman who runs his own small engine repair shop. He said that these are older saws that customers brought in for him to look at, but they didn't want to spend any money to fix them up, so they just left them with him. His main business seemed to be in mowers/trimmers/tillers/pressure washes/etc, so he just wanted to move these on since they were taking up space and not worth working on compared to more lucrative things.

I got home late so I haven't really had the chance to fully sort through everything that I got, but here's what I know thus far. I got:
A really clean looking Super XL. Didn't come with a spark plug, but my compression tester is reading 156 PSI. Needs some clutch parts, does what the tag say look accurate?
Poulan Super 25DA(that D really looks like a zero)
Three XLs. One of which has the shortest bar I have ever seen. :laugh: Are these any good?
Mac 110
Several mystery meat cheapo Poulan Pro/Homelite/Craftsman saws
Additionally, three plastic cases, a few bars, a few chains, and some odds and ends.

How did I do? I don't really know the value of any of these things, but I had a feeling that at least the Super XL could be worth $100 by itself. My thought process at the moment is to keep the Super XL, Super 25DA, and maybe the cleanest XL, then put the rest up on ebay as cheap parts saws to make back a portion or possibly all of what I spent. What do you guys think?

I believe I have a super XL-12 drum if you need one.
 
Stopped in an old country store that apparently use to be an old mcculloch dealer. Had some new old stock parts in a box in the back. Give them $15 for the three. Not gonna use them but think they will make great display items.

That looks like a large piston, any idea on application?
 
I've seen these online, but I never thought I'd ever personally own one. A surprisingly clean looking Wright Super Rebel power saw for $40.
Was it worth it? I'd like to think so, though from what I've seen people love to hate these things. The starter mechanism isn't engaging with the flywheel when you pull the rope, so I have no idea what condition the engine is in.
Even if it happens to be seized up, I'm still happy to have it. Makes a cool display piece if nothing else.

Gas powered reciprocating saw.
 
I measured it with calipers and come out to 2 inches and three thousandths on an inch. The bottom of the piston has f24062 in it.

GF got some FREE saws to compliment my collection. She's the best.
Also box full of chains, parts and a bar.
I'll also post in Niks Poulan thread.

I recently acquired the MS 391 for parts/ repair for $75. I installed a $45 Meteor piston and rings and was pleased to discover she will run! I added $145 worth of new Stihl sprocket, 25 inch bar, and full-skip chain to make her cut, and cut she does! She's the one in the back row, pictured along with some of the rest of the herd.

I've got the chain oiler turned up full, and I keep an eye on how warm the bar gets. I only plan to use the 391 occasionally. The 036 (second from the back) is my main user. O (aka T-A)
