Man you guy get some deals around here jack holes want retal price for used box store poulans

Believe me it is that way around here for the most part as well. I work for a Husqvarna dealership so most of mine are pieced together out of the junk pile.

The Stihls prices are even crazier expecially since I have 4 full service deals around me.

The two biggest ones are an entire manual oiler set up and either a 2100 top cover or an 1100 air filter.(I have an 1100 top cover and a 2100 filter, it no worky)

In got another one to share! It was a Craigslist steal. Guy posted a non running 026 with case $85 said $75 was the lowest he would go. Held it for 4 days for me and drove 20 miles to meet me. The p/c were clean so I emptied the tank and added fresh mix. Took 11 pulls to pop and then it started but had a bog. Gave him the $75 he wanted and drove home. It needed a carb kit and a drum.

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 sure like the way that looks in black and white........kinda like a Storm Tropper!

Brought back from the dead but most definitely not low budget. I think everything besides the crank, cases, and fuel tank is new.
