    I have a very nice all orange 61 (97 model) for sale. Bought it from a co-worker who inherited it and had no intention of ever cutting wood.

    We had a bad storm in '98 and his dad bought the saw for storm cleanup.
    Hasn't had much use since then. It has one broken fin on the starter cover and a few scratches here and there but overall it's nice.
    I took it apart yesterday and cleaned it but it didn't need much.
    It starts and runs very well, oils fine,etc. Has a touch over 150psi cold. I cut two dead white oaks with it and had zero issues.
    It could probably use a fine tune on the carb (I'm no expert) but it four strokes fine at wot and nicely in the cut, so I didn't mess with it.
    This saw is too good to be sitting in my garage, it should be making firewood for someone here.
    I would like $250 shipped pho or if buyer wants I can include the original 20" 3/8 .058 bar and a loop of chain hand filed by yours truly (I'm no chain expert but I can put a decent edge on one) for another $25? PayPal ff would be great.
    I've never sold a saw here but I've done some deals with a couple members and hopefully they will give me a good reference if needed.
    If I missed something or buyer is not happy with the saw for some reason I'll definitely make things right.
    Like I said, this saw needs to be doing what it was made to do, and not sitting around.

    If I'm high on the price, let me know. I traded a couple guns for it, an ar style .22 and a single shot .410 so that's how I came to the price. That's what I feel the guns were worth.

    I know everyone wants to feel like they're getting a good deal, myself included.

    That would make a great firewood saw. My dad has a 51 and we have cut a ton of wood with it.

    I'm no haggler, but I'm willing to deal a bit especially if you're close to Michigan. I can throw in a couple more meaty sharp chains and some other goodies and you'll have a firewood maker for a good long while.

    I'm not looking to make any money on this saw whatsoever just hoping to get it to a good home, and to one of our members here. I'm not putting it up for sale anywhere else.
    Just too nice to be sitting but not too pretty to use lol. If anyone wants to see it run I can text you a video. May be able to scrounge up a log as well for a serious buyer, if wanted to see it in action.
