Just another junk chainsaw

[Doofy]

Thanks. I will get that info. The last 2 clutches I found, one was correct and the others center hole was to large. Both had the same part number stamped on them. I'll get some photos.

The great eBay purchased clutch with the larger center hole is just stripped out. It Figures.

OK I see the differences. I'll post and PM you if I find something or somewhere else.


Couple I got yesterday that looks like they will be parts instead of builders. 77cc 80cc

Thanks, I would appreciate that. The Super EZ AO was certainly a featherweight compared to my first 2 saws, a Homelite reciprocating saw and an old Homelite C51. I envy your passion for saws.

Tear downs done on both. Going to part them.

Had one just like it for years. 24" bar and a darn good running saw.

IT was among 5 or 6 saws that got stolen. Ended up in a pawnshop in columbus. Insurance company would rather pay out than retrieve saw and return.

Couldnt you have filed with police and they picked saws up?


Little 50 took in looked at and sold.

I was just going to part it out. But 2 guys I know wanted it whole for builder.

By the time the saws were located, the person responsible for stealing them had OD on heroine.

So for the cops it was a closed case and they had little to no interest collecting the saws as they werent needed for evidence, and the insurance company had already written check to purchase new saws.

But yes I "could" have filed, the police would have got the saws, and It would be about of month before I would get them back. BUT, I wouldnt keep the insurance check to get new saws, and being in wood cutting season I couldnt afford to wait a month while cops held saws.

Insurance company knew the saws were found too. They were pretty much the same way. They could get the saws if we wanted....but easier and cheaper to write a check

Once the insurance company paid you they owned the stolen saws in event of their recovery. Rarely do they pursue anything as small as a couple chain saws. Handled some Rolex watches one time for a company who paid off as a result of a jewelry store burglary. Also, many vehicles, trailers of all kinds, skid steers, tractors, pickups.

I had my pole saw stolen....really a grab & dash. Was at neighbors house, helping cut/split some firewood, my stuff was at their driveway. Someone drove by and grabbed my brand new Stihl pole saw, tossed into truck and sped off. Called cops, took report. Since it was brand new, I had my receipt which had the serial number. Gave them everything BUT, wrote the saw off mentally.

About a year later, got a call from the cops. My saw has shown up at a pawn shop, about an hour away. I can do one of two things:

1. Let it stay there (frozen as evidence since they knew who the perp was BUT, still had to catch him) and it will be given back to me after he's brought before a Judge

OR

2. I can go to pawn shop, pay the fee they gave the perp and essentially "buy it back" BUT, by doing this, I can have it "today" (or as soon as I can make it there) verses the unknown of how long will it take them to catch him.


Next day, I drove to pawn shop and paid them the $150 for it and moved on with my life. As it turned out, about 12/18 months later, I got a STATE check in the mail for $150. At this time, I had totally forgotten about the saw and my repurchase of it so was totally perplexed as to what this money from the state was for.... Then it dawned on me. They must have finally caught him, finished his legal issues and he must have paid a fine which this came from.

I specifically told the investigator when I was talking to him about this that in NO way, do I want to even hear the perp's name because if he ended up being found floating face down, I don't want any eyeballs looking my way.....because, floating face down was just about what I felt he deserved.

Really disagree with you here.
They shouldnt ever be left to be found...

I don’t understand why the police would tell you that you have to buy your own stolen property back from someone (pawn shop) in possession of that stolen property.
Why couldn’t you just go to pawn shop and take YOUR property with you.
Have pawn shop call cops on you if necessary.

I took in a stolen 346 once unknowingly. Drove 2hrs 1 way to meet the guy at a walmart parking lot in OH. Had the saw sold after going through everything and was getting ready to ship it a week later.

Got a weird phone call asking if I had just bought a husky. I sort of laughed as I ask which one of the 10-12 you talking about.
After doing some feeling out of who I was talking too to make sure. I agreed to meet the detective from MI halfway to get the saw back to rightful owner.
Turns out guy in MI had 3 saws stolen and 2 of them had been pawned. They caught the thief by finding them in pawn shop.
Then he told them I had bought a unknown stolen saw.

I can tell you this you lose in this scenario too. Never got any of my money back either, for buying, fixing and travel.
So be careful out there. More then owner can get burned from these meth heads.

Agreed.

This is what irritates me.

It seems pawn shops loose nothing. If they take in stolen property.....they get made whole. So whats their incentive to quit receiving stolen property?

Its the little guys trying to do the right thing that always get screwed

I have no idea how Coby and LD get that you were told you had to pay the pawn shop for your saw. That is clearly not what was said.

That’s not what he was told he had to do. He had that option but he was not told he had to do that.

 

[CobyRupert]

That’s not what he was told he had to do. He had that option but he was not told he had to do that.

Correct, he didn’t have to.
I still don’t understand why he paid $150 for his own trimmer.

 

[two_bit_score]

He opted for expediency. He said he did get his money back later. Presumably after the case was disposed and restitution made by the thief.
