Is an old MAC Eager Beaver worth getting running again? I was handed one that has been run a decade or more..... Have not had time to look at it but it's not destroyed or locked.
To me those are not unless you can do the work yourself and have parts saws already.
When you say those I am thinking little plastic rear handle or the little plastic top handles.
I have one dad bought new in 79 TH for limbing in trees. Just needs a carb kit but you have to take whole saw apart doing that. So I'm not even going to do that. Because I hated that saw when I had to try and use it for lane clearing later on the hills.

I can do my own work but it'll stay near the bottom of the to do list. I got it after someone else's dad passed. Just seems like I never have much use for anything under 50cc and the Huskies just work for me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Don’t know why I am so fascinated with my user jred 670 champ. Late 90’s
But I just can’t stop setting the NOS stuff back for it.
Just love the red black and gold I guess.
Goes good with the NOS clutch cover and the NOS decal I put on it already.
NOS cylinder cover already too. NOS flocked filter. Mesh is what this one came with.

Trying to save on that muffler heat melt this time. When bought saw as non runner p starting scuffing years back. Melt was already there.
Seeing that bare area in pic on the NOS one might have to add another layer to cover that plastic.

This is why I save everything. Old 505 83cc I picked up many years ago. I had so many of them I didnt rebuild this one. Just a pto side seal issue that took out top.
Guy just bought a 505 up in the great white north in west Canada. But saw wasnt as described.
So going through the crankcases. Best candidate is this 505 one
Just a couple runners I had in past. Just sold those 2 off last year or 2.

Local just north of me does chain only local and online.
His old shop and wiring could only take 5 franzen running and had more waiting.
Now his new shop almost done he is running 8 with 2 more coming.

Local guy gave me a echo to fix for him while I was at his shop for plow truck work I couldnt finish due to 4 bolts. Grrrrr.
Said never has run right since new and just gave up on it because it would not make cuts without bogging.
Typical from what I see from echo in past. Carb stops on and way lean tuning. On this on L side was way off.
Pulled stops tuned and tested cutting. Happy camper and got some of my $ back. Said he will be bringing me more saws.
He told me a story about the stihl dealer has a echo of his for 2 years that they cant get fixed. New carb etc etc. Sounds like just throwing parts at it.
Told him get it back if worth it. Like to check it out since I love troubleshooting. Because their bill going to be more then saws worth.

The money my new tree guy has in that lift . 69' straight up or 39' across. No more hangers left and my power line lane cleared.
Just had him drop everything. He used a stihl 201T and a husky 525 polesaw.
Me and wife did the clean up.
Using the Echo 490 hack ported 50cc and Farmertec G111 clone of stihl 200T 35cc tophandle and her just using the battery pruner sawzall again.
He loved that idea and told me I saved around 4 hrs of labor cost.
Got some good saw and chain test wood saved from the busted up leaders.
That jail brake he used he said he went to over the portawrap. It is so smooth for one guy using lowering heavy limbs etc down.

What is the purpose of the cable on the tree ? Is that to be able to just use the lift to move the section after he cuts it or something ?

That's pretty slick!
Local guys saw he said stihl dealer been trying to fix for 2 years. Told him get it back I'd like to check it out. After fixing another saw for him.
Echo 3000 that has been at the local stihl dealer up north of me. I went into this same dealer once years back and never went back. I had seen enough just checking on parts for saws.
This is that guys echo TH that he said they have had 2 years throwing parts at it. Tag shows 3 years.
Took me all of 5 seconds to tell him whats wrong. Low psi scored I bet right while still there. I just SMH.

Newer saw 2020 MTD craftsman 42cc. Cost 200-230 new. They come with wrong tune. Owner said never ran right.
Least this one did.
Had to pull carb do to hard plastic wouldnt allow epa tool to line up. Pulled carb to do that and will fix that hard plastic crap in a bit.
Was total dog when came in horrible running.
Pretty peppy after initial rough tune. Will fine tune later.
See if cuts like a normal 42cc later.
Has that small plug the newer saws running too.
Walbro fuel filter style I havent seen before with that brass at back.

Will be another happy owner. Shame how some saws and other ope come from factory.
Had to break out the burr with hand piece to open up the hard plastic used to line up to H L.
Now I can get epa tool on them to fine tune.
Amazing the difference from factory settings.
Cuts like any other 42cc ones.

Looks like it can drive the lift around on the ground without a tow vehicle.
