So what did you buy today

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Now that's a piece of history!!

I bought this off eBay a few days ago, arrived today.
The Disston saw utilizes a "straddle scratcher" chain so the bar itself is just a flat piece of steel.
The saw belongs to Steve Lambert AKA sawnami.

I love finding new old stock stuff.....but that is on another level of cool!!! I have my eyes on one now, just to have for display.

Thanks for sharing it and a pic of it on the saw. I didn't know about the "straddle scratcher" chain, so that is interesting too....I went down a rabbit hole and did some reading on it, straight from a pic the manual I found in an ebay advert.

I bought a couple of slim lighters for under $10, hoping they are constant flame type. Like a zippo, that doesn't need a button held down to keep the flame going. I am not a smoker, but I seem to always need a lighter on hand. I like zippo's, I just want something less bulky in the pocket.

Here are links in case anyone is interested.

Not today, but recently. .325 sugihara .050, 78dl, with Stihl 23RS NK.

The $5 grinder is 28 years old, it survived because the brushes were jammed due to construction dust, it has no spindle lock and has an unusual plastic gear housing.

Birthday present to myself. I've done the sand & polish thing to probably a dozen vehicles with great results, but I found these really high quality remakes for a heck of a good price. Almost half off on Amazon. Brand is TYC and they even came with Sylvania bulbs installed. The fit was perfect, the finish compared to the USA made factory assemblies to me looked as good or better. It's rained 6 inches here in the last 3 days and there is zero moisture in these new ones. Im a happy guy.

Nice ride, I miss my old Tahoe.

@Lions fan - Thank you! I sold my 2018 Colorado Z71 during the truck price craze and bought this with the cash I made on it. It's 2004 z71. I am the second owner.

Horror freight.....

Needed another grinder for wire brushing rusty stuff to make it pretty enough to sell on eBay.

Took my son to Walmart today and spent $200 on fishing stuff for his 15th birthday.

You can use your chainsaw to cut a big hole in the ice large enough to float your boat.

Lol.
Not much ice here, and I don't have a boat....planning to just stand on the good o'l dirt and try to catch the dumb ones.

Found this on the last day of an estate sale. The house was pretty well picked clean but I found some other cool stuff.

I spent $5 again

 

[furb]

Not a purchase but found this in demoed building in Maryland waiting for an Amish guy I took deer hunting.

I definitely scored today with a decent load of husqvarna pro saws. I'm pretty new to messing with husqvarna but I couldn't pass on this deal. There is 371xp, 372xp, 575xp, 576xp,385xp,390xp, and 395xp in the pile. Several of some of those models. Plus assorted extra plastics, cases, and parts. Thinking I'll probably put the 372xp and possibly a 390xp back on the back of a shelf somewhere and get to building them to hang onto myself.

What I am short on though seems to of course be carbs, mufflers, and clutch side covers...
