It's old and dirty, but runs smooth and has a brand new blade and one half worn as a spare. It will take 3 men, a Bulldog and lots of sweat to get home, but for the Princely sum of $25.00, yes, twenty five dollars, it's mine!

Great score,but, it almost sounds as if you haggled a little harder they might have paid you to haul it off !
Congratulations !

Good job. Just get it home clean it up and play with it for a bit. Will get some local interest so you don't have to ship. MrMike over in Tennessee might just make that drive. |

It would be impossible to ship that beast! it has a motor on it that probably weighs 150 pounds! The saw is mounted on a very heavy steel frame, so I suspect the entire setup is somewhere north of 500-600 pounds! If I can manage to get it loaded on my tilt bed trailer, neighbors have tractors and backhoes to unload it. Trying to come up with a moving plan as no dolly or cart I have will hold the beast to get it 100 feet from the shed to the driveway. I can leave it there a few days as the house is not sold yet and it is in a locked shed......like someone is gonna break in and make off with it  |

I moved a 18 inch with a Harbor Freight dolly with plywood attached. Then just laid out plywood as a path to roll it onto the trailer. Used a comealong to get it up the ramp onto the trailer.

I also use a dolly to push around heavy stuff. Yeah I leave pricey but heavy, heavy boulders outside. No worry about theft. Maybe sell it there and you wont have to pick it up. Maybe wont have to touch it and get a hernia. Heavy duty saw and a blade and a half. Someone will be a beefy brainiac and buy it.

That is a heck of a deal.
I don't think deal is the right word, maybe
Steal...or

Th motor is very old, but runs great. It just looks like it belongs on a much larger piece of equipment than a 14 inch saw! I don't know how the older ones were rated, but it looks like at least a 2 hp. Gonna take a lot of cleaning and some minor repairs to the hood holder upper, but it cuts good as is |

I'd dismantle the largest components and move it in pieces may have to. the stand it is on is homemade and is very heavy angle iron and way overkill found an old catalog on line with the M 2 saw pics. 1968 catalog on the left cigarboxrock.com/old-catalogs/ |
