Chainsaw Photos

[gmax]

This is my 1988 Alpina 0-70S, I bought it a month ago with no compression, the rings were stuck in the grooves , I've replaced the rings now it runs very nice.
It's the only chainsaw I've seen with an auto chain tensioner.

How does the chain tensioner work? My future FIL has an older large Alpina, need to take a look at it.


Nice saw!

Nice saw!

The chain tensioner is spring loaded,

Thanks for the picture, it certainly looks like a good idea. Wonder why it didn't catch on?

 

[gmax]

No idea, It seems to work pretty well, although if it ever broke finding another would be difficult, parts are scarce neither GB or Oregon list sprockets for this Alpina.

026 ms460 056 magII 066 ms660 and the fs250 trimmer

Wait a minute, there are no chain saws in that photo?

Just kidding ya man!!

The chain tensioner is spring loaded,

When you were tearing down the saw,were you aware of that feature,or did it "jump out" and surprise you?How do you re-assemble it,is it open to the front to allow you to push the tensioner back to engage the hole in the bar or do you just have to "fight it back in place".
Another nice saw by the way,you seem to turn up some very interesting models.

Are the dimensions 3 1/4" outside diameter? I have a listing for an 0-70 that takes the same as a CP-70, A70, A90. It is from the same place that I sent you the link before. They sold Alpina's under their own name (Pro Cut) for a while. If you need more stuff, I could definitely ship it to Aussie land for you.

L-R: Allis Chalmers 75A, Stihl 029 Super, Stihl 024 AV, Poulan Super 250. I do not know anything other than who previously owned the AC and Poulan saws.I do know he died 16 years ago and they probably haven't been run since then, but I would bet anything I own that the fuel was always properly mixed and the cylinder and piston are good, chain is still sharp on the AC.

I figure the $150 dollars (minus bar and chain) in this one was worth it. It had an 18" bar on it when I got it, that now sits on my 029, but I wanted a 16" on this one (it will also fit my 029)

the poulan is an S25D,, not 250... great saw,, lots of info on them....

Yes it's 3 1/4" outside diameter, I'm going to see a dealer who used to sell Alpina tomorrow , if I cant get one I'll take you up on your kind offer, thanks

I knew about the auto tensioner, it's open on the front with a shaft that you move to align the hole in the bar.

My 394 all done

Here are some pics of my 394 all done I love flames on anything plus I think it makes it cut better LOL.

 

[FATGUY]

Am I correct in assuming that all you have to do to tighten a loose chain is loosen the bar nuts, tip the bar up, and re-tighten?

Yes that's all you have to do.

McCulloch 5-10G

Here are some pictures of my 5-10G that I took last night. I put the 33" bar from my 1-60 on it with 1/2" chain. The biggest piece of wood I had was about 12"-14".

I put one of the chips on top of the gas tank so that yall could see how big they were. Who ever sharpened that chain did well.

You can see some videos of the saw at my original 5-10G thread.

Looks good, very nice condition for such an old mac.

Good lookin 5-10G you got there Stinkbait.
Very clean. How do you think it would do
in a 30 inch piece of wood?

[RandyMac]

30" clean wood? I was thinking of a 60" Doug Fir snag.

That chip is a bit thin, drop the rackers a tad, just a polish job.
