Saws you bought to flip but kept.

[idiotwithasaw]

As the title states post up your saws that you just couldn't bear to let go. The ones that captured your heart and imagination.

Here's mine a 281 xp. Bought this as a non runner for $100 with a 28" hardnose sugi hara bar and a new full comp chain. A new fuel line and off she went, She now wears a 24" rsn husky bar. She easily blows 200 psi at .040 squish and is a mule to start, but I love her anyways.

Nothing fancy but picked up this 306 for $20 as a non runner. New fuel lines, filter, and carb kit and she runs great. Was gonna sell it but it sounds too damn good after I pulled the baffles out of the muffler.

Grabbed this a few weeks ago to flip. After cleaning it up a bit and running it with a nice sharp chain it's worth more to me as a back up than it seems to be valued at. It may go down the road come firewood season. Doea t really seem as far off from an 026 as I imagined it would. Tempted to put a 14" on it but I have gobs of 16" chains for the 026's

The last 10 I have bought. Not because I want to keep them, I just have not bothered to sell them.

On a 14"or 15"bar they are really very nice indeed...They are not far behind the 026 as you say ...024=2.9hp...026=3.2hp ..in wood up to 10" the 024 is just grand. Ms 260 will show it up a bit more at 3.5 hp but iv always thought the little 024 is a 42cc saw with a good dollop of staying power/torque . A good clean one is worth having IMO

Here's the first one, there's been several since.. Just needed a fuel line...paid $20 for it several years ago..I think I added the bar later.

i thought i did good. First one i picked up cost $45.00 total of $110 to get running. Second one was $50. Pkus $12 for the brake handle. Could gain a few bucks for them but they are worth more to me for cutting firewood.

I got this as payment on repairing a couple 460's. it needed rebuilding and then I had it ported. I had originally intended on selling it since I am a husky guy, but it somehow has managed to hang around and now I am pretty fond of it being here.

Looks good. Spikes are a tiny bit off it looks like. That's the odd ball case that don't match up to the spikes of the 044/64/66.

I must be the odd ball who does sell a lot of the saws I get to flip.

Spikes are off??? I been staring at all those pics, blown up, look straight to me??? Maybe I need a few more beers. What am I missing, inside joke??

Those are the 660 east coast spikes. There's about 1/8" difference in them to the 460 family.

Outside one a little more forward???

Good grief I need to go the eye doctor !!!

 

[beaglebriar]

My flip saws tend to turn into trading stock. I have a couple at the moment that I really should sell.

It's not much. You need it right there in front of you to see. It can throw uou off a little bucking in big stuff.
