Scrap bin 461

Post image

Pulled this saw out of the dump a few months back and have been tinkering with it in my spare time, needed a tune up, fuel line, impulse line and a clutch and have been using it all weekend to buck up some willow and fir and the thing has just been absolutely ripping.

I've been thinking about picking one up and having it ported for my mid size saw. If I found one in a dumpster that would be amazing. I did find a super clean one with a bunch of upgrades though.

Yeah it was a lucky day, I pulled two 461s and a 038 out and got them all running again

🤯That's amazing! Of course for me with zero mechanical aptitude they would just be 3 broke saws.
