I have owned or ran about everything I wanted to, so not looking for any saws at all anymore.  I have been moving back into guns and shooting more and other hobbies.  :-\
Loosing 3 of  my past sawing in woods up north isnt helping any either.

Poulan 4900 would be hard to move out and find something to replace. Hmmmmm what is it I wonder.  ;)



I think you've figured it out Kevin.  I've been transitioning more  away from 'collectors' saws more to saws that I use.  That 4900 is just too nice (and too 'rare' a model) to beat up doing work.  My conscience won't allow it.

Since I picked up that cherry Craftsman 5.2 last year, I have the 'pretty GTG saw' for this series covered.  The 4900 won't get used much anymore.  I used it quite a bit last year and it performed fine............................but the inbound 8500 will take its place in the working stable. 

I will also be building at least two green 5200's from my pile of parts carcasses (probably one to keep and one to sell).......and I have a 4200 inbound.  Gotta think about shelf space. 

Need to do the same with the 82cc Homelites.  Right now i have several that all need work.  Some minor and some major.  I'll end up with 4-5 runners (actually more like 5-6 runners now that i think about it).  That's silly...

I've been getting back into shooting and a couple other hobbies (that are more family friendly) too....
