Rotary.

I like one word answers! Yes it is a KMS4 rotary. I found it a couple years ago. Old fellow that had it said he bought it back in the 70’s for a project, and it was too heavy to use it much, so it sat under the bench till today. Frank will be turning 91 this year. He rides around his 3 acres in Annapolis on a John Deere 455 diesel with a 40 loader on it. Under the trees he has what’s left of a 60’s Iso Revolta. An Italian sports car with a 427 Chevy engine. He has more cool stuff around his property than you could imagine. It’s a scroungers paradise.

scrounged... other day picked up off the curb this lil Gorilla dump cart! rough around the edges, to say the least... at least it rolled home. surprisingly, tires looked iffy, but she had 4 to hold air! still up. rusted out here n there, bolts impossible to loosen (rust welded) and broken main parts. up and into dry dock, fussed with it, cleaned it, serviced and oiled it. fixed floating rusted out axle and broken Z... derusted rusy bolts down below... and now, not quite as pretty as NIB... but 'good as new!!!' i liked the price! ~ will mod up a new handle/hitch... and make it my 3rd car in my firewood scrounge safari train. for my saws, fuel, tools and water, etc.

i like it so much, decided to get a new one, too. bit pricey... close to $175.00 w/tax. but i liked all the new upgraded mods and engineering designs on latest versions. as i was ckg around, only A-z offers this dump cart with the 'no flat' tires... an offer popped up... from their warehouse. $118! so it is supposed to be here today. says used, and in good condition. repacked. my exp says always NIB and repackaged. we'll see... and since i had a $40 gift card credit at A-z... how could i pass it up?

will arrive today

At least I'm not the only one that plays with my saws barefoot!

Dude you got a KMS-4 for $100?!?! You suck for all eternity.

Not just a KMS4, a running KMS4

 

[rarefish383]

Snatched up this 3.5lb plumb double bit off ebay for $19.99. Will re-handle and put it to work once it arrives.

I love those old Plumbs and Collins. I have a beautiful Plumb Cruiser that @Multifaceted rehung for me with a hand shaped octagonal handle. I’ve passed on some nice axes because they cut good original handles off to make them cheaper to ship. I’d pay extra for the handle. But mine are just display queens, I seldom swing an ax anymore.

It's mine now. I'll be picking it up on Saturday.

Stihl Chainsaw-SALE PENDING PICKUP - $50 (Dallas)​

© craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap

condition: salvage
make / manufacturer: Stihl
Does not run. Sold as is.

UPDATE: Thank you for your interest. This is sold pending pickup. If this changes I'll update the add accordingly. Thank you, Don

I got 4 free "defective" high end 3.5 ton floor jacks and 1 "defective" 22 ton air-over-hydraulic big rig jack from the recycling. 3 floor jacks work fine, the big rig jack needs a wheel, and one jack needs a handle and a new pump cylinder. Even if I have to spend $150 for a new hydraulic unit to end up with ~$6000 worth of usable jacks I can live with that.

You can go ahead and give me that 2100 if you like. I’ll give it a good home.

1993 394xp with pro safety full wrap. Just picked up last night to get into right hands.

UPDATE: Pulled low 125psi. I ended up taking this saw apart and fixing for owner instead of buying to get in right hands. The cylinder had some old west coast style porting in it. Cleaned up cylinder and new piston kit.

Junkyard find. Was missing a few nuts and screws, but otherwise complete. Even came with a usable bar and chain, and I guess he didn't want the wrench for it either.
Decent compression and spark, fired right up on prime. No Sludge in the gas tank, only took 15 minutes to clean up. By far the cleanest saw that came to me for free.
Will get the standard carb kit, fuel line, and a good going over. Service tag was from somewhere in BC, quite a drive to get here to Manitoba. Might have some interesting history behind it.
A bit heavy for it's displacement compared to a modern saw, 12.6 lb. empty, but I can't complain if it runs like the other Homelites I have.

 

[Homer6679]

Got this 031AV, the case, the fuel and tool, all the goodies pictured for 40 bucks. Has 170 compression, haven’t looked at the piston yet. And the fuel is good just for an added bonus

 

[av8or3]

That’s a great buy. I’d toss the fuel though. As old as that saw is the gas could be pretty old too. Empty the tank and clean it. Cheap insurance if you’re planning on running it.

Got this from the neighbor today. Been sitting in the back of his plow truck for a while.
Sprayed the carb, started for a second but a nice little lightweight once I get her running again.
Little different than the what I am used to but should make limbing even easier.

Swap out the carburetor for one with a Hi and Low adjustments and a little modification to the muffler will improve the usefulness of the saw.
Keep the chain sharp and let it self feed and it will serve you well.
