Want to Trade Homelite DM50 and Stihl TS 460

[Duke Thieroff]

Up for trade I have a pretty nice Homelite DM50. Only problem is that it has low compression, only 70 on my gauge, unless it has a decomp valve I didn't spot.

Overall pretty nice rig that would look great on a shelf in the shop.



Also a Stihl TS460, 120lb of compression, exhaust side of the piston looks good. Intake side of cylinder through exhaust port looks a little rough. Creates spark. Missing parts. Good parts unit.


Looking to trade for chainsaws/parts saws or chainsaw parts.

Chris pull the trigger on that DM50. If that thumb lever on the grip of the 450/550/DM50 saws is like what's on a 650/750....................then that's an integrated throttle high-idle lock and comp release. You set it by pulling it back with yer thumb...............and release it by pulling the trigger. Dammit. I want that saw but I don't need it. If I was going to try to get it from you then I'd have neglected to mention the throttle lock/decomp......

I'll check when I get home...let's make a deal

I think the DM 50 equivalent in a chainsaw is a 450.

Yep.

 

[Duke Thieroff]

Big ouch....big big ouch.

Ouch!



It is indeed the 1.875 bore.

 

[Eccentric]

Wow. That's not gonna buff out....

 

[Duke Thieroff]

That is probably one of the worst I've seen and I've broken down a lot of saws before.

I'm not going to part this thing out, it's pretty enough to be a wall hanger. Would clean up really nice.

I wonder what the operator had to do to squeak that thing like that.

 

[Eccentric]

If it was tuned lean (does it have the single or dual needle carb)? then that'd do it. These saws are used for long cuts. If it leaned out during a long cut because of a bad crank seal and/or intake boot then that'd do it too..............especially if it was tuned too lean to begin with. Also could have been straight-gassed....

 

[Duke Thieroff]

I'll look at it tomorrow or something, but by the looks of the carb box grommet that thing has a 2 needle carb.

Intake boot and seals is a definite possibly, but I wonder if it's an adjustment issue. That sonofagun had to be hot!

 

[Eccentric]

I've seen guys burn a tank of fuel in one cut in those concrete saws. If it's leaning out............there's plenty of time for some serious heat to build up...

 

[Duke Thieroff]

God, I've watched those guys run em too. They are loud and create a lot of nasty dust. Not nearly as cool an item as a chainsaw, that for sure. Definitely useful, though

 

[Eccentric]

I have a friend who has a DM54. Calls it his "church key".....

 

[Naked Arborist]

Wow. That's not gonna buff out....

Have faith now muh friends. I would not steer you wrong. It'll buff right up. I promise!
Shame about the heart, pretty clean machine.

 

[Guido Salvage]

Did you ever find a taker on the DM50?

 

[Freakingstang]

how much for the ts460?

 

[Jacob J.]

I just bought a brand new piston and rings for a DM-50...but mine is going in an FP-150 water pump which uses the same engine.

No access to an IPL, is it the same as a 450?

 

[Jacob J.]

I'm pretty sure the engine is identical to the 450. Homelite had a way of standardizing industrial application machines and this FP-150 internally looks identical to a DM-50/450.

HAHA "church key" i love it in fire training i dont think there was a single thing we didnt try to cut with our Partner(husky i believe) Saw and they work great for opening a steel door that you dont have a key to lol. The centrifugal twist at high rpms on those these is kinda scary but a great tool to have on the shelf, Rented a k750 last week to cut some shallow trenched in concrete out at the farm lots of fun to use though. They are loud though hearing protection is a must, If you run the hose to cool the blade they dont make alot of nasty dust though just sling some nasty sludge
