Some of those had no oil pump. You mixed the gas really rich and it scavenged oil out of the crankcase somehow. Sounds fun to fix.

Yep, that's similar to mine except the anvil you have is the one that proved to be difficult to use. The quality of these sets are all over the place. My buds set was much worse than yours, he had your anvil and the spinner fitting was so soft it was actually softer than the rivets he was trying to spin! The anvil was shaped wrong as to be unusable without grinding it to a new shape. His breaker was much too low to the base so that if he bought the better, but thicker anvil that it wouldn't fit. The breaker spinner setup he has now makes mine look bad, and I was happy with mine until I saw his new setup...

Its all what you get used to I suppose.:msp_unsure:


BTW, Its a good idea to grind the rivet heads down flush to the tiestraps before you press them out. It saves you from having to struggle to punch them out, and your punch will last a lot longer.

He's a pic of the better anvil:

The one baileys sells is similar (but it costs $22): LINK

Rep'd.......

Yep. Since I don't see the add-on manual oil pump on that saw, it must be a "Lubri Mac" saw. The user was supposed to run their fuel mix at TEN TO ONE, as there's a one-way valve setup in the bottom of the crankcase that's supposed to allow accumulated crankcase spoo to oil the bar/chain. Keeps the mosquitos at bay, but doesn't lube the bar very well. MAY just contribute a tiny bit to carboned up exhaust ports and ring grooves too...

Grinder, punch and small ball peen hammer is all you need. Faster too.

well heck far i got them setting on the table now

 

[Philbert]

I have the Bailey's set - works good, but now they are discontinuing the parts (?)

I don't need to grind the rivet heads down - just have to center the punch. I followed Grande Dog's suggestion and drive the rivets out in a 2 step process - let's me reuse the tie straps. I would like the adjustable anvil (Oregon, about $22).

Not the safest thing in the world either, as 90% of your bar oil is GASOLINE!!!!! Combine that with no spark screen in the exhaust.

I've also seen a loose chain throw sparks as it flops on the bar in the cut. Not sure how much gasoline is left in the 'spooge' by the time it makes its way to the bar (through the valves and passages), but that is something to be concerned about. The system didn't work for #### anyways, plus running 10-1 (with 30w motor oil no less) isn't the best idea. There were aftermarket, and later factory add-on manual oilers for these "Lubri-Mac" saws. Consisted of a divider plate at the front of the fuel tank, and a front tank cover that had a plunger manual oiler................that you had to push with the thumb of fingers of your left hand. Very awkward. Then there's the goofy 'center pull' starter setup that these saws had (which was fragile, was in the way of a 'normal' front-tank Mac oil tank placement, and which required three hands to start the saw). Not one of McCulloch's shining moments overall....

Here's a flavor of Orline saw that I haven't seen before...

Jim Savage is a classic brand. They sold a lot of re-branded "mini" equipment like those little saws, weed wackers, blowers, etc.

Interesting. Never seen 'em here. Was it some sort of hardware store brand?

 

[homelitejim]

I could be wrong.....and I usually am......but since when is the 038 super a 72cc saw?

The regular 038 av or farmboss is 61cc, if I remember correctly the super is 64 or 5 cc and the magnum is 72 cc. Plus can anyone tell me the last time Stihl sold a 27" bar? It should be 25 or 28, and you can ask any Stihl dealer that has a clue about saws.

Glad I could help Chris. I know how long you've been looking for one of those rare "The Professional" PM655's. I've heard that they flat out ROCK in the hardcut...

I wonder who gave the extra touch by painting one bar cover nut and not the other. Missing one allen screw on the bottom? The first ones were pan head slotted, then they went with the slotted torx combo about the time the assembly lines checks went from dollars to pesos. And its first job blocking up a tree would take most of the cutters to the big bar in the sky.
Its not worth finding Supertramps "dreamer" for. A nice example, but hardly rare or interesting.
