Picked up some farm fresh Homelite saws at a local auction. Not exactly turn key but they are all possible runners I believe. Here’s two that will be nice additions.

Nice! Two models that aren't the most common!

There was actually 3 x 900 saws, the red & Green XLAO, and a couple of part saws. I got them on the cheap. They’ve been sitting for decades in a garage or attic so lots of grime and stinky fuel tanks. Pretty much all have spark, good top ends and appear complete. They looked rough in the pictures but I had a good feeling . Gotta love a farm estate sale! I’ll be checking the local auctions a bit more.

There's no "local" paper for us around here anymore,so it's tough to find anything other than on CL or drive for 1-2 hrs.We had what was called a "Pennysaver" & last yr.it just closed up.I couldn't really understand why,they always seemed to have plenty of advertising.The nearest other Pennysaver is mostly for folks 1-2 hrs.east of where I live & no one wants to drive me that far without being paid $45-$50.Kinda pointless to drive that far & spend that much money & come home empty handed.All the good older Homies around here are gone & if there are any left,people take them to the dump not knowing what they have.

Woohoo! That thing is sharp! I usually scrub through old grease to find mostly bare metal. Nice one.

It's always a great feeling when a saw cleans up that nice. Great score!

This thing cleaned up amazingly! Here’s the first auction saw cleaned up and resurrected. Very happy! Before: After : Video of first start after being tossed and forgotten. Ran out of space on my phone so video is cut unfortunately…. youtu.be/5zVj5wlJVAs

Sounded pretty damn good Trevor for the little bit I heard.I'm sure you've got it tuned pretty good by now.
