I've been looking for one of these for a while. Saw looks like it was rebuilt sometime in its lifetime.

Congratulations! That's the way to start off a new year. Certainly don't see 'em very often. Dan

Pretty nice! But your picture is lopsided, you need another bucket! And you better put some elbow grease on that paint, show Leon and the rest of us how its done.

Dang, is that a 3100G? Regardless, that's a helluva nice score!

It will be awhile before I get to this one. I only work on one saw at a time, and prefer to completely finish one before starting on another one.

Wow, excellent buy! That chain alone would fetch north of $150 on Ebay. I've never seen one for sale around here, but I know they have to be around.

Extremely hard to come up with saws like that in my area. What a machine.

Here's another recent addition, a Homelite VI Super 2 SL. Other then some cleaning, it doesn't need anything either.

This one I got last spring, but I don't think I ever posted any pics. Original owner bought it to clean some tornado damage. Didn't like the 20 in bar it came with so he got a 16in bar also. 20 inch bar was never used. Used to cut up one small tree. Drained everything and was put away. Came with a carrying case and accessories.

Here's one that I pickup up recently, a Homelite Super Mini S. Got it from a member on AS. Only thing it needs is some new bar plates. That's a nice '78 SMS, I've had a few '79's. Beautiful saw.

Just got this one last week. Other then cleaning and a sharpening, needs nothing else.

Great find. What years were they built?
