I got a text from a buddy while I was in a tree stand. Text said "I have an 044 for you if you want it". He is a local rep for Toro so he frequents a lot of saw shops. I text back and say heck ya how much? He says nothing I grabbed it for you at one of my dealers it's in the bed of my truck stop over and grab it! Later that night I do just that!

Dirty as heck and pretty much destroyed. Piston and cylinder trashed, bearings and seals were toast! This turned out to be my favorite resurrections to date! A quick call to @definativedave and my plan was laid for a hybrid! Had a lot of help from @Glock37 and he loves the black! Had input from a bunch of guys! It has turned out really well and from a initial cast of $0 I probably have less than $300 into it. Oh and I didn't realize when I first got the text that it was that special 044 Pro Model. Must have been the only one produced![emoji23]

I know that's the truth! When I tally up how much $$$$$ I have in my "free" 3120 it scares me.

Post up those saws you got really cheap.......or even free. Post up the ones that you had to put some work into to get a good runner on the cheap.

Sorry buddy, don't think so.

Here's another that turned out to be a gem. Got it on trade for work I did and it sat for awhile. It was totally grease covered and black with dirt also. The badge said 7300 on it. Finally got after it and under all that dirt and crud was a pristine 7300H. New 7910 Miller top end, clutch cover and odds and ends. Also modded the carb and unlimited the coil. New light weight bar for Christmas from two GREAT FRIENDS.!! May have more into this but this was a keeper!!!

So, when I decided to start wrenching on beat up saws, I started with some MS200T's. Talk about jumping into the deep end. Those are a whole lot of saw packed into a very small space. Not terribly cheap, but better and cheaper than the original MS201T's. Sorry, no picts.

Kinda like it. Handlebar is bent forward could be straightened. The way it's oriented you do have a tendency to put your hand too close to the muffler firewoodin
