fraserr7,  I'd stay clear - simply cause it sounds like you'll farm out the work,
unless its priced like scrap metal look for a good solid runner - 91'up 4L  ;)

Fraser, sending you a PM.  There's one up here in Red Deer without a top or doors, but priced right and supposedly in good condition.

I agree, stay away unless it's priced like dirt, but being a first timer, I imagine you're looking for a running unit that you don't have to spend time on.

eek,.. 350 that skipped a tooth?

what the heck was he doing to stretch the chain and make it skip,..

I would have him fix so I can hear it running before I would consider it.

Have to be cheap to make it worth it.  Unless you can do the work yourself .... run forrest run.
