Hello Chain saw guys . Im wondering if anyone has a line on any ons parts to fit any of the Lombard or Dynamark saws . I have , buy, repair and sell any and all . I recently bought a barn full of parts and saws from an estate of a man that sold and repaired these saws in the 50s through 80s . I buy used saws any condition . C J Runge Frenchtown NJ 908 892 9430

we know where to go for parts now dont we!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[krustysurfer]

Im sure I have some . I have a 45 ' van filled with parts I just got . Have had no time to sort yet . I will need to try and see what it will cost me to replace the parts that I have so that I know what to charge . The only thing I will need the way it looks is pistons and rings . Those duck bills are easy to get but not sure what they cost .

Super Awesome!

Your question brings back memories. In August 1963 our salesman Fats Herbert from the Cincinnati branch brought a promo type of the XL-12. We were dealers from 1951 to 2004. My husband was so impressed he said he would take 50 by the first of October and if they didn't get them by then to take off one saw every day On Oct. 3, they called and had the order at Cincy. All the serial numbers started with 150 and as yet I haven't seen a number any lower. We had a blue Buick station wagon and somehow we got all of them loaded into that vehicle. Had to remove a few from the box.
I remember him explaining to us that an engineer of Homelite worked on this in his basement so other companies couldn't spy on what they were doing. When it appeared most of the other manufacturers stopped everything and spent there time trying to copy it as much as they could.
Lombard did a real good job and Remington also. Hope this is of interest to the younger generation.

Made a few mods to Lombard AP42. Has 4 petal reed housing. Gut the muffler, slap on a carb from Homelite 925. The venturi is 1 size larger. And will have to shorten the low jet so it fits in the carb box. Or can modify carb box and use the Homelite 925 grommet. Runs like a decent saw now instead of an old slug. Sounds awesome and holds good rpms in the cut.

I asked this on a dedicated thread, but maybe one of you could answer it here instead.

I recently picked up a Comango that needs crank seals. Can anybody tell me a modern part number for replacements as the old Lombard numbers don't bring anything up.

Thanks

Arm yourself with a dial caliper and measure crank diameter, housing bore and seal width.

Take those figures to your FLAPS (friendly, local, auto parts store). Shop thru a National Seal catalog. [emoji106]

I had to break down and do just this. I found a few different part numbers for seals for posterity as I'm sure somebody else will need this info.

Timken 253747 or Chicago Rawhide CR-6120. Napa also has a listing for 27SS3639. I have a set from NAPA on order now and should be here tomorrow. I will confirm if they are correct.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Since it's basically an SXL copy...

Looks like you're on the right track.

XL-12/SXL Series:

-F/W Seal:12282A (OLD # 58688A). SKF 6119 double lip. SKF 6120 single lip. National 253747. Poulan530019097.

-PTO Side Seal for saws with the auto oiler drivecase with the fill up by the handlebar bracket: 58308B.07021. Aftermarket?

-PTO Side Seal for saws with the manual oiler drivecase and the oil fill down below the muffler:12282A. SKF 6119 double lip. SKF 6120 single lip. National 253747. Poulan 530019097.

Followed me home from the flea market.
Anyone have a muffler cover and a flywheel screen?

Proper respect to Little Red Barn for offering AL/AP-42 piston kits.

Hi everyone, well my father surprised me by giving me his old Lombard Super Lightning AV that he bought new back in the day. It has not been fired in over 20 years. It has a ton of compression, so I'd like to get it up and running then do a full restore. Does anyone by chance have a line on where i could find an AV rear handle? As you can see mine has a cracked lower left side. Going to be a fun project for sure.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Nice saw. Your best bet with that handle may be to find someone who can properly weld/repair it. Finding a replacement could be a challenge.

 

[Gumneck]

Been looking around to try and ID this Lombard. I guess its a Comango of some sort? Anything special about this particular model other than the homelite clutch cover? Got a lot of saws ahead of it but I'm interested in working on it.

 

[Marine-piper]

I have this saw cheap for sale if interested.

Looks in good shape capable of throwing wood chips....mine above just throws paint chips, at least what's left of the paint.

Freudianfloyd,
Were you able to confirm if the Napa seal part # was a correct fit? I realize your post is from close to 2 years ago but I find myself in a similar position of needing seals for an AL42. I've got the old ones out and will take them down to a bearing supply store to have them measure and see what they have in stock, but the gentleman I spoke with didn't seem too hopeful.... I really need to get some calipers.

In case anyone else ever comes looking for this information, my local store had the Timken/National 253747 and they fit well. Made such a difference. Even when primed, prior to the seal change it would take 3-5 pulls to get it started and wouldn't hold a tune for any length of time....idle wandering, etc.. Would not pull fuel with choke closed, had to manually prime to start. After new seals, if manually primed it'll start first pull. 2-3 pulls to pop when cold with choke closed. 1 pull to start when warm. All 4 cylinder to crankcase nuts were slightly loose so tightening those back down helped as well I'm sure. Haven't cut with it yet, but loving the sound and for a 4.2 cu in saw it's pretty light.
