  1. meh, clean enough when I picked it up so IDGAS. it's only a 16" bar. Nothing slasher size. IDGAS, I have a receipt for it. He gave me a look when I pulled out a pre-printed "goods sale form" and asked him for an autograph on it, but I like to cover my bases.
  2. Sometimes I love shopping on craigslist! I needed a cheap-o chain saw to remove a couple of trees in my back yard. Saw an ad for a McCulloch for $30 listed as "hard to start cold, won't start warm" yet it includes 2 extra chains and a case. I figured hell, if it'll run long enough from cold for me to cut these couple of trees, $30 is well worth it. I could always sell it "for parts" on ebay after i'm done with it and most likely get my $30 back. I emailed and asked if it was available and if he could verify it would at least start before I came to get it. He assured me yes, so I went to get it after some further email exchanges and then a phone call. When I arrived, the guy seemed fidgety and nervous but hey, a stranger was at his house late at night so whatever. He sure did have a hard time getting it to start, but what seemed odd to me was that he didn't once touch the primer bulb on the saw. Whatever, maybe he knew a better way of getting it running than the instructions. After he fought with it for a few minutes he finally got it to run. I told him that was good enough and peeled off $30 to hand him. No point in haggling IMHO over $30 as it was the cheapest saw I could find on CL and he's had a few other calls for it. (Saws go quick here in redneck country.) My hope was that he just didn't know how to work the damn thing and it was a decent saw overall. I get home and toss it into the garage. With the rain, I haven't had a chance to mess with it until today. I go to the garage, look at the directions on the handle and proceed. Full choke, Set trigger lock, Primer bulb 10x, pull 1x, choke to 1/2, pull 1x and BAM fires right off and purrs like a kitten. I let it warm up for the directed 10 seconds, choke off and decide to stretch it's legs a bit. This thing runs GREAT! Ok, let's see how the chain is. Eh, it cuts but could use a sharpening, still I already cut most of what I needed to so bonus. I shut it down and decide to test this "won't start hot" statement. I flip the kill switch back to run and pull the cord once. Yeah, purrs like a kitten again. Hmm, lets try again. One pull, it's again purring. Hmm, $30 well spent!! Anything I cut with it from here out is just icing. tldr cliffs: Bought "barely running" chain saw from craigs list for $30 Includes 2 extra chains and case runs perfect

  7. I usually roll around and back in but mainly to keep water off the fronts.
  8. skip the harbor freight model and get a decent one. I had one and elmers glue worked better.
  9. I have two old ones, yours for the cost of shipping.
  10. Exactly... I was talking to him at one of the drag days and someone pointed out another user to him. He went right over there and went right into it like it was a thread on here. It was fucking hilarious watching the dude stand there dumbfounded like WTF is happening, where's my keyboard!!!
  11. Kenny, hands down. /thread
  12. Lowes and Home Depot carry them. Just look in the roofing section usually. Also google corrugated panel and you'll find them all over builder supply stores.
  13. I'm gonna say craigslist because i've went through that phase and after the first few weeks or a month, it'll never get touched and you'll be pissed you wasted that $.
  14. generic comment about how much we all love brian
