Dibs!

Think I’am going to sell the 064 if you look at the side it has a little switch on it.

You just had too, didn't you??? I had totally wiped the M'fer from Alaska from my brain until you mentioned "Greasy Truckers Hat"

Id say this was a snag. Relively tidy 1997 high top 288 with 2 x 20 inch bars and a near new 28 inch Oregon bar along with chains. Also a box of bits including this builder case and cylinder all for the equivalent of $300US

Thanks to @Kiwioilboiler for spotting the deal which was only 20mins drive and was advertised as pickup only.

Yes Adam, no holes in the PTO side either...and the top cover screw holes are all good too...

Haha, the top cover screws are @Stump Shot method fixed, the Phoenix Palm acid scars not so much.......

That's a YOU suck deal.

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

That's a YOU suck deal.

Mark and I won't bite the hand that feeds, real glad he was up overnight with his new daughter long enough to see my message and push the button. But, yep, he sucks.

That's a YOU suck deal.

Thanks @Dub11 you win some and loose some, a few days earlier I picked up what I thought was this really tidy original Red Light 066, I paid about $600US for it, which is about the going rate here: Well when I got it home I pulled it over and thought, hmmmmm that's not good, compression tester went on and it only pulled about 135psi. Off came the very nice KS non decomp cylinder and I find this:

Plating stripped off by someone fitting incompatible rings, jug is now absolutely useless! Luckily I have some great friends and I have some exciting plans in motion for this saw....
