Chainsaw Repair

i'm not going to give up.

we checked the inventory of broken saws in my dad's garage, none of them are interchangeable. 

i'm going to go buy a husqvarna 455 here shortly as rural king is 15% off entire store today via rebate so they'll send me back a gift card for $60 in a week or two.  hopefully that one will last a very very long time, and i will repair the poulan when i find a replacement.  right now though i need a working saw that i can use farther from the house than a 100' cord will take me, but i also want one that will last for a very long time.  i picked up one of those tiny 14" electric $49 homelite saws last year just to cut little kindling and it proved useful for that, and i ran it through some 14" oak tree trunk that i cut down a couple years ago and it just keeps going. 

i'll keep searching chainsawr, ebay, craigslist, etc...
