As you all know,the F014 mount bars are almost impossible to find,especially at a bargain price.Usually the bigger the bar the bigger the price,& then there's shipping added on.Tonight I won a lightly used Carlton Bushmaster 34 in.bar AND .404 semi-skip chain for $50! Shipping is $19,but for $69 I still got a helluva deal in my book.I think my XP-1000 should handle this without a problem.Now to find that elusive Redwood,Lol.

Hi Ed,
If you won it on Ebay I'd say you can still find good deals on there, it's just spotty at times. I got a bug up my ass recently for those early sand-cast Poulans and got two really nice complete saws, with most of their original paint, etc.......for stupid cheap (like $30-$40 +shipping) on there. But then I watched other auctions for the same saws and guys end up paying ridiculous prices. I guess it's just a right place, right time kind of thing on there, and a lot of chainsaw guys just pop in from time to time, rather than watch it like a hawk. So glad you got a score...it's nice when the home team wins one!
;O)

Here are some pics of the bar & chain I bought for $50.As you can see the safety sticker is still on the bar.It looks like both might've been used once & for a short time at that.

Damn, that thing is so big you can't get it all in one pic!!! $70 for a new bar and 6 foot of chain sounds like a steal. It's good it found a good home and didn't end up going to a flipper.
;O)

I dug the XP01000 out today.I havenm't had it runmning since I bought it about 3 yrs.ago.It took a bit to get it going & the damn overrunning bearing starter didn't cooperate much either.It seems the bearing doesn't like grease much,I put Deep Creep on it & it worked great after that.Anyway,I put that nice Carlton 30 in.bar & .404 chjain on it & it looks better on the saw than it did sitting on that bucket! BTW Bob,I paid $50 for the bar & chain & $20 shipping.Still,a helluva deal.
