Bargain Day

Thursday a guy came to my house to pickup a Poulan  (Craftsman) chainsaw case i had on Market Place for 20 dollars.It fit his saw. He dropped the tailgate and a homelite orange case was setting there, its  my dad's old saw, would you be interested. He opened the case and it was an XL 2 Automatic , metal body in very good shape, 2 extra chains , warranty , owners manual, file, final inspection tag. I ask how much ? he says even up for the case i'll never use it i like battery operated saws. Build in 1974 0n Oct 28, #8403 that day ?

Yesterday i had a chance to check out the XL2, cleaned out the fuel tank, replaced the filter, added oil, and a few pulls it fired up.Smoked some, once warm it cleared up started oiling.    Good little saw i like the double triggers prefer the back one.

Dang that saw looks to be used very little, always liked the dbl triggers, I use my super 2 on the regular, I was doing some storm cleanup last weekend & my brother was helping me, he couldn't beleive what a beast that little saw was, it was cutting through 4-6" maple branches like butter, he had a blast running it.
