Grabbed these from same seller in past 3 weeks - 10-10 Automatic & 1-42 vintage muscle saw.Barely $150 in the pair including shipping ($50 for that,they're not exactly light..),several new & used parts.

10-10 was very clean with great compression,needed a little tinkering & I installed a new fuel line/filter,good used gas cap with a better gasket.Almost got the carb where it should be,wont be long now.Seller included a good 16" .050 gauge bar & new Carlton full comp chain.Guessing it sat for a long time.


The other one is a 1-42 with original 18" rollernose bar & well-worn .404 chain.80cc/4.9 cubic inch,has loads of torque.Couple more filings & its getting tossed.Also very clean with strong compression,it was repainted probably a couple decades ago,there's a little overspray inside the airbox on the carb.Once carb was adjusted properly,it starts 3-4 pulls cold,1 pull warm every time.::-)

That wont hurt nothin',though....>> Seller stated "it needs the oiler pump,lower handle brace & a couple other minor parts..." When actually that saw is manual only,all it needed was the pump "button" which I had in box of parts already.Plus that saw wasn't sold with the lower brace at first,though some saws had it later on.Model was produced from March 1961 to April 1962. I also added a new stainless steel bucking spike that was in my stash (Extra for the 125 but was too small even though the 3 bolt spacing is the same.It fits some 30 large older Mac's at least,maybe more.


I figure anytime you can get a decent looking,strong running vintage saw for $75 or less & small amount of time & work....that's a good deal! I see plastic homeowner saws on CL all the time for $75-125 & they wont still be running 30-50 yrs from now I guarantee it. ;lol

;lol Nah cant do that,I like my shade on these humid summer afternoons too much.I'll bet its 20 degrees cooler working under there vs. standing in the sun just a few feet away.

Nice CAD Score Thistle.

Love them old ones... :) Can't beat them prices either. Some prices on other saws are almost stupid/ridiculous.

Cheers

That 5200 Poulan is on my list also.Might take a while,not as many sold back in the day as the 3400/3700/3800 models.And most who own one are reluctant to sell it,unless they're near starvation or something lol.....5.2 cubic inch/85cc,its a real torque monster from what I've heard......And the 6000 and S6000 (6cubes/100cc) is the same as the Dolmar 153,just Poulan lime green/black.Made from 1975-81,those are quite rare now.Didnt sell many to begin with.
