We are under flash flood warning now for a while. Won't affect us personally though as our house is in the upper elavation in our town.
The rain is much needed though. We are way beyond behind on rain.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta poke out my mind's eye now. Better refill my glass...:bang:
Hang it up in the rafters of the garage. When does the Mrs ever look up in there? I added the (saw) bit to remove all temptation that I was fighting with to make a lewd comment...

i'm lucky my shop is like a nomansland to her.
Of course, knowing my luck, the seller is probably a member here and I've ####ed up my own deal. :msp_mad:

All the mac two man saws could be used as one man operation.
5-49 is a good two man saw but more common.
Hard saws to find are the 1-92, 1-93 and the 940.

I have a line on a 2-man Mac powerhead. It's missing the gearbox.............and I believe the starter. I THINK it's a 940. May be a 1-92, or 1-93. Don't think it's a 99 or 5-49. It's in my buddy's barn, and I haven't seen the saw in about 10 years. I need to go see him.

On a side note i hope everyone is ok from the nasty weather in the middle of the states. We dont get too much storm action on the east coast by me.
We made it out fine in NW iowa but the same can't be said for Thruman Iowa and Creston to speak of
PM700 I got to looking at this machine and put a fuel filter on it and primed it and by golly it took right off and stays running.
Questions are fuel cap leaks like crazy. No gasket or duckbill valve:msp_sad: Is ther e replacement gasket for these available.
While I had it running I reved it few times and never saw any oil for the chain coming out. No cover on it running. Manual oiler works fine. How long should it run before the auto oiler would start working? It has sat for a couple of years so maybe I jsut didn't run it long enough.
I am going to look for a chain for it to put on it. Not sure I have one that will fit it. Don't feel real comfortable just throttling it with no chain in place.
I must say the exhaust note sounds really nice on this.
Also need an airfilter as the one in it had no flocking on it. It was just a screen:msp_scared:

First, a small gift for a few members here
And fortunately, his minimum and my maximum were the same. Would've hated to waste a 2 hour drive.

Really nice to get to meet. He had 4 more IH tractors (all diesels I believe) in various states of restoration.
Compression is good. I also got a bonus chain!! Hopefully I also got a functioning carb.
That looks really nice. If everyone keeps this up I am going to have to find one:msp_sneaky:
On another note I put a huge 16" bar and some terriblly shot chain on the PM700 and it will not oil in cut at all.
The auto feature is it in anyway connected to the manul side of the oiler system?
Also in the cut with out hearing protection wow does the frequency of that saw put the hurt on the ears:msp_scared:

and a old saw shop i have a date with in the near future.
paccity - I just stopped breathing for a second...hope that last shop works out for you, a very nice find indeed.
Struggle - If the manual oiler works but the auto does not, about the only possibility is the piston in the auto oiler. Go ahead and take the cover off the oil tank, take the auto oiler out and work the piston manually. You should be able to sort out which is the inlet and which is the outlet by matching it up with the tank, then put a little light weight oil in the inlet side and work the piston again, you should see it move down the inlet side and come out the outlet side.
