Bought the Makita 64 cc saw from Depo for $180. make it into a 79 cc. It works great!

Wow, I'd say you done great, although I don't know if I am more jealous of the saw or that nice piece of Ash!

Which home depo in MN did you find it at? I've tried several times with no luck. Fortunately I bought two brand new when you could find them on ebay for $400.

Danggggg, that's nice. And to think someone is standing at a display in sears as we speak, trying to decide if that craftsman saw WITH the black case is better than the Poulan he saw at Wal-Mart. Not knocking those saws, just saying...I'd rather have yours!

We got a dump trailer full of this ash from a cutter for free on CL.

I thought I did pretty good at $194. Nice find.
Mine is supposed to have a new top end, plus I already have a 79cc saw, so I'll run it as is. I used it a little yesterday and it doesn't skip a beat.
