Unf"cking real,..did you "help out" a widow or sumtin:rolleyes5:

I was actually doing a roof repair for someone that had scheduled me earlier this spring. He is a realtor and had bought some foreclosed property which had this big shop. There was alot of tools but not many name brand items. He didn't want to deal with it much so he let me go thru and pick out what I wanted. I told him it was worth more than most of the rest of things. So I put it all in a box and said how much.....

Nice. What model chainsaw is that? Lots of calipers in there.

Outstanding find! Handy aluminum ladder jack to boot. Looks like abiut a MS200-250 size Stihl

 

[ak diesel driver]

there's actually a pair of ladder jacks and the saw is an 017 unknown condition

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Stihl 017. Cool. Thank you.

You come out ok I think. Even if the saw needs some parts it's a good find.

I can buy a replacement piston/cyl on ebay for around $50. but the real value is in the starret indicators

 

[3500GMC]

V blocks aren't exactly cheap either.

Do you have acetylene and oxygen tanks for the torch items?

 

[ak diesel driver]

Yep

 

[ak diesel driver]

I spent a few minutes looking at the saw tonight and it looks like it needs a coil,saw looks brand new tho.

 

[3500GMC]

Is there another kill switch hooked up to the kick back guard? Maybe theres something else keeping it from sparking- I dunno?

 

[ak diesel driver]

nope I already have it off just one wire to ground it

picked this up from the same guy $150. I'm going to take the torch and guages off and use them on my set up and then resell it with the stuff I don't want on it.

 

[ak diesel driver]

so here's my setup. this pic is with the new guages and large cutting torch. now I have a large torch a medium torch and a micro torch. I'll be keeping the hoses on the setup I bought since they are smaller diameter hoses I figure they will work well with the micro torch. I had a short section of hoses but I can't find them right off but when I do I'll sell the other torch setup. Pretty good deal I think.

 

[NVW]

Good deal Les, up here just the cylinders would be $500 or more.

 

[btfarm]

Wow!... That cutting head looks like a handful. Not for fine work or close quarters.

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Looks like 2 hand fulls!

Les,either Alaska is a good place to be,or you have a knack for finding good stuff cheap.:agreed:
I paid 700 pop for a brandnew victor torch set like that 25 yrs ago,..the bottles were another 400
