Hear is a different saw of sorts

Joe,

You should send the MOL a vid and ask them if it's OK for your lawn guys to use if they wear safety shoes.

Just picked up my next victim last weekend. Chain is on backwards but she's got a nice fat blue spark and seems to be all there. There is a petcock on the right side you can see in the second pic, it looks to go into the oil tank but has no line attached, can't figure out where that's supposed to go . . .

Is that a Strunk Speed Demon?

Yep, Speed Demon Special. Recoil needs some attention as the dogs don't always engage but nothing that can't be remedied. Fat blue spark and compression feels good so I think she'll live again.

Has there ever been a chainsaw with the name Bob cat on the fuel/ oil tank?

 

[Brian Van]

I also had a MW that was blue and a pistol grip. I called it the Fat Boy! It was really wide. Slow but mighty!

I think that was a Clinton saw.

Got this on the weekend. Turns over, piston looks great through the exhaust. No spark, and the starter is stuck solid.



Anyone have any tricks to getting the starter un-frozen?

 

[Moepower]

By starter, you mean recoil ?

Never messed with a David Bradley but hey, its only a machine.

 

[ML12]

yeah the recoil. The spool is frozen on the center shaft. (Fairbanks morse style)

Maybe PB blaster or soak in diesel fuel for a month.

Modified the Clinton D-35 to use a Tilly HL from a 070/090 type Stihl.
I did away with the original Walbro fuel pump.

Lots of tinkering to transfer the original throttle and choke shafts to the much larger bore carb.

Modified the carb to use an external impulse hose.

In the past months I’ve added three Remington Logmaster to the collection.
A GL-7R, a Pro 88 direct drive and A Pro 88G gear drive.

Both Pro 88 run now but still having issues with the GL-7.

Nice additions..., and very slick with the D-35.

The original Walbro ‘fuel pump’.

The original Tilly HC don’t have a ‘pump’ side.

Does anyone know the seal dimensions for a Power Products AH-47 engine? I have the David Bradley apart and want to put new seals in it if they are available and a common size.





The saw is in remarkably good shape for its age, almost no wear. Its going to get a full restoration, bead blasted, primed, painted, clear coat, new bearings etc. Should look good when its done.

 

[Moepower]

If you have it all torn down, I'd grab a micrometer and figure out the crank O.D. and the side cover I.D. dimensions.
You should be able to find something close from Timken or another general seal supplier.

 

[67L36Driver]

Westinghouse Micarta gear.

 

[Moepower]

Maybe check with the vintage go-cart forums? pretty sure a few run power products engines.

I lucked out and my Strunk with an AH-47 ran without issue . . . so far.
