Bar and chain for 8$ is worth that.

I've never regretted buying my Macs & Homies for $15 - $20 last yr.I always figured the bars & chains were worth more than that.

Due to lack of interest on the main page, I'll move this here. Have any of y'all heard of a Mac 10-10 Lead Charger? There's one at an estate sale near me that starts Friday that has one along with some Homelites my brother's hoping to get and I want to know, is it a good buy at $100 or less? Should I jump on it or not touch it with a 10.5 foot pole? If @heimannm has any info I would appreciate it. No pics till I've visited the sale for security reasons. Here's a poor quality ebay pic of one though.

Some folks still use those around here.

Does anyone know if the Italian macs body interchange with another saw , I've seen something about Huskies and oleo-macs?

@heimannm I found this tonight in a very obscure place lol. This is the piston that came in the 7-10

Maybe I missed something in the pics,but why did you change it again?It looked to be in fairly good shape.

I got the 10-10 Lear Jet Starter and another mac saw later on in the day. Here's a hint till the Wiz 80 I had is disassembled: 47. 'Nuff said.

I changed it on Mark's recommendation due to a chunk missing out of the corner.

As promised, pics of my Lear Charger and my Model 47 Macs. I swapped some of the Homies I got today for this 47 my brother got off of a guy as part of a trade for a 346. It looks like it lived outside for a while but it seems fixable. It needs to be torn down, cleaned up, and put back together and the pullrope replaced right off the bat and I'm sure more will show up. It'll be a long term project as a "spare" time filler. My Lear runs fine but needs a new gas cap before it is fully ready for service. Enough of the skipped-over reading and on to the pics you've been waiting for, except I forgot non-detail pics of my Lear. The bar on the 47 is the on off the Super 77 Homelite and is just for show, not as a permanent fixture.

And the 47 pics. Can someone tell me what the all-metal non yellow pushy thingy in the 4th pic is?

That's the fuel primer. When pushed in a few times, it squirts fuel into the carb. It's supposed to have a round metal button on it similar to the one on the oiler, but a little bit different in the knurled rim around the edge. It attaches to the bottom of the fuel tank and is a small square metal piece with 4-5 holes in it. The earlier one on the model 3-25 could not be disassembled, but later ones on the 3-25 and 47 can be taken apart so you can drop little teeny pieces under the workbench.

Do I have to split the crank case on a pro700 to replace the seals in the pto and flywheel?

No

 

[heimannm]

No but, the PTO side is quite challenging if you don't open it up. If you need seals, I would open the case anyway just for inspection and cleaning.

[Brian Thacker]

If it needs seals then I feel it's time to go ahead and reseal the clam shell. May as well. That way you know it's sealed up properly.
At that time you can put in new gaskets and you are good to go for a long time.

Good idea , I worked hard to get a righty going, and if I lay it on the clutch side idle picks up.
