This is my favorite! …about 5 years ago i was looking for a ford 8n. I typed it in a cl search and was so excited there was one within 10 miles and it was under 1500 bucks but the little thumbnail was odd.... i couldnt see a tractor in it, it looked more like a 4 wheeler so i click on the ad and its a pic of some lady flashing her boobs with her female friend sitting on a 4 wheeler.... other pics are the 8n. So the ad says shes old but still very useful with a lot of life left in her.....shes cranky in the cold but warms up well........ well after i got done changing my pants cause i wet my self laughing so damn hard, you know i had to email him. I said i was interested in the tractor but was wondering how much for the 4 wheeler and if it came with everything in the pic..... lmao (i just couldn't help myself ). He replied and said he had a 4 wheeler but it wasnt for sale it was his wifes and did i want to come see the tractor...... well i never did reply but about a hour later he replied again and said oh man, sorry for the confusion, the 4 wheeler pic was a pic of his wife and her friend and wasnt suppose to be there. He changed it real quick.
I found a different tractor not so close to home. I still search 4 wheelers no and again..... ya never know lol

Haha yeah Danno I am staying away from it. I forwarded that to my buddy and told him I was going to go buy them then I would have more saws than he does :)
 
I have noticed that the older Poulan "pro" stuff seems to be better than what they are making today........I had a poulan pro weedeater that I finally let go after 13 years (and the only repairs I made to it were the fuel lines).

Of course, I think a lot of the older equipment was made better than now a days. Some of the Stihls are starting to come out with primer bulbs. Never did like them.

I have an 028 AV that I bought in 2008, it was 30 years old then. All of the parts on it are original (except the bar/chain). I have since replaced the pull cord. It is about a 36 year old saw, and it still fires with 5 pulls (4 in full choke, then 1 in half choke). With starting like that, who needs a primer bulb.

Then they would have a hell of a time starting my 066 that I bought and rebuilt. It is the older one without the compression relief valve ::-)

I figure if you need help starting it, you probably shouldn't be using it.....

$300 for a Mac Timber Bear. WAIT! Stay in line! Quit elbowing! Don't you start a riot!

This past summer I passed on one of those for $60. I'd never handled one and was shocked how heavy it was.
You did well. I have the Timber Bear's big brother - Pro Mac 610 - 60cc. It's kinda like picking up your push mower by the deck and the handle is the bar.
 
Philadelphia-area prices must be higher. In Pittsburgh, that would buy a nice 4x6 trailer for your car.
 
Lol that guy is smokin crack. Maybe because it says John Deere on it he thinks it commands a high price...
 
This guy has been listing every 2 days for 2 months. Maybe there's a clue there.
