Well it took till February for this year but the stray saw distributing system has hit again. Guy said “I’ve already got 10 saws, just come get it out of my way”

Don’t mind if I do! Runs cuts and oils, and is a decent 50cc saw from what I can tell. A man can’t ask for much more, except for more free saws maybe.

And all this for just over $3,000

LOL! no sir, i wouldnt pay anywhere near that amount.

 

[Northerner]

The 2163w cleaned up pretty good, cylinder looks good too. Anyone know where to find a clutch side decal?

I swear stray saws they tell their friends when you pick one up, cause another almost IMMEDIATELY follows. Got the 500vl Wednesday, got this one today….

Snagged this guy for $75 from an auction. It came with a weedeater that started on the 3rd pull. Plan is to sell the weedeater to recoup the cost and keep the saw for my echo collection.

4 times of dowsing gas down the carb and it started and ran on its own. Cleaned it up a bit found the chain to actually be sharp, I know a huge shock, so I noodled into some 30in diameter white oak I had at the wood pile, runs absolutely great.

These old echos are heavy and people call them slow but I absolutely love them.

That's why decades work

Just finished cramming that little Rancher back together and fired it for the first time so the table isn't clear but it's nothin' fancy. Stack of Ford pickup wheels and an old step off a Kenworth. I've added bits to hang tools and grinding wheels and some casters to keep it mobile. Actually my only work surface since I still haven't built a bench since buying this place this summer.

The bike is a '70 Yamaha AT-1. I believe it's got something like a whopping 915 miles on it now.

An AT is an enduro, 125cc I believe. I have a 73 CT175, my first bike, and recently got a 74 DT175 & 76 or 79 DT100. The 100 is a sweet little unit. Just needs a battery to get it running, needs battery so you dont blow the headlight is what I've been told. Those are about in the unobtanium class these days.

Guy in Ohio I know makes good repops for jreds.

Bet he could help. He is on my chainsaw repair group FB.

Dont know about the w though.

Some of his work.

My 2163 I sold. Had all the paperwork from original owner too. Even the receipt.

Bit late, but got a tiny saw:



Total came to around $50(with shipping), have to get a new Killswitch as...well...I think it explains itself:



I did "temporarily" fix it so I'm not zapping myself, and it does start, so I'm not complaining

Least the one on my 288 was in ducting!

Well, lets see- not quite one month in......

670 Champ arrived today, free and free shipping.

Nice 670 champ! I've been wanting one of those.

This time I really punished myself….take all or nothing deal. Anyone needs NOS homelite chainsaw parts, I probably have it. Tons of Briggs and tecumseh parts too.

461 stuff $15

Wow, nice. John Deere S92 Briggs fuel cap? Homelite 150 safe tip? Homelite EZ ignition coil? Briggs or Homie literature?

PM me part numbers sometime, it’s gonna take me a long time to catalog this stuff.

$5 scrap yard a early Stihl 034 AVEQS find has mag rot, bad oil and fuel lines but the piston and cylinder is mint has excellent compression and spark says made in west germany on the recoil. Missing the inner bucking spike too
Should be fun to fix up.

what i remember is them needin batt for lites to work at all
first thing we did on most o those was ditch batt for weight n avoid acid spills

I ordered a Bicentenial Poulan off eBay for $40 shipped. The description said the motor was seized. These sell for $400 in running condition due to their rarity. Well, turns out the recoil setup is messed up and this thing actually does turn over! Looks clean under the clutch cover and covers. Piston looks great. Can’t wait to finish cleaning it up.

 

[Chainsaw Collectors]

Bought this puzzle from a member here. These are pretty rare. It’s in a ton pieces tho in the bad in the pic so will be a project. Nice addition to my chainsaw collection.

4 Echo Kioritzes from a member here for $190. Projects.

I've posted these already in the pioneer section, but dove into pioneer territory with a 2200 and an FM80 "frankensaw". Frankensaw was advertised as "locked up", turns out the string got jammed in the recoil pulley. Probably going to restring it anyway. Has spark, so I think it'll (hopefully ) run, compression seems good but need to actually put a gauge on it.

2200 has intermittent spark but spins over after restringing the recoil, also missing the primer setup (this one doesn't have a choke mechanism)
.

$70 for the 2200, $190 for the frankensaw.
