Dont know if its just my work computer or what, but the pics didnt come through:mur:
But a hint: I was NOT talking about the stihl or husky:laughing:
Sorry, tried linking them from AS....
on a side note, I picked up two saws today....
Went to my tractor dealer who also sells Stihl saws. i was poking around out back and found this mint husky 50. not bad for 25 bucks. So after nosing through the shop and finding a brand new "used" 25" Stihl 3/8 050 bar. He him hawed around about a price and said to make him an offer. When we all know what they go for.... then as I'm about to throw out a low ball 25 dollar offer, i see this dirty dingy green saw buried underneath the work bench. I said, what about that poulan. He said, that POS? lol give me 50 bucks and you can have it and the bar... I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. This was the first "real" saw my dad had growing up. I remember being very young and getting to use that heavy greenie as we called it. the dealer said it ran when the older guy traded it in on an 029 years ago..

Cleaned her up real quick.... added some fresh gas and she popped right off. I'll clean it up good and give it to dad. To this day he talks about "THAT" saw...

And the husky 50. It has a melted piston and cylinder. I have a nice ported Partner 5000 topend to put on this gem!

Nice 50 and cool on the 4200 for your dad. :thumbsup: I just sold my mint almost new JonseredS 490 with heated handles. Need to deliver it at the poulan gtg.
Had these 5 dropped off to fix when the guy picked up his 2 huskys. :drink:

When and where is this Poulan GTG?
I think XYZ123 has the models about right. Personally I love my 029 - it has been and is a great saw. From what I have seen around here and of course depending on the condition of the saws you have anywhere from $200-500 for the three. It gets real easy to put $200 into a used saw and when a new one is $350 there isn't much market for abused ones.
I was so impressed with this jd 450v I went looking for another echo 4500. They remind me of the OE 346 in the cut rpm weight feel etc. Maybe a little more torque going to the 4500 over OE. Could be the echos 43mm bore and 31mm stroke. :confused3:
First one I took in on trade.

I just found this one that turned out to be a JD too, that took a spill I was told. Broke the muffler studs and had to be re-tapped. Looking for a few parts if you know of any.
Pics as found and sent to me.

From what I understand this is a common issue on these. Weak bar stud area cracking from abuse maybe.

This one had taken a fall and broken and bent the muffler studs off in cylinder. Dont know if this fix is going to work by past owner or not. Will see when all the parts show up. Muffler, muffler bolts, gasket, etc.

Appear to be a earlier version then my other 450V. It just had a hand guard instead of the chain brake like my other one. Hand guard on 2nd one was broken off in fall.

Really like the piston and cylinder on these. No wonder they run so good.

Well I just could say no as another NE 346xp 2011 fell into my lap sort of.
Heck I could have had its cousin the 2011 353 e-tech for a heck of a deal too. But I was happy just walking away with this one for now. ;)
I'm just not ready for the autotunes without me owning the $250 diagnostic tool myself. Staying old school as long as I can. :drink:
These are pics as bought, no clean up for pics.
