Here we go...

Or the boys from down under could play nice so I don't have to be the bad guy.

Aaron, found nice full wraps, with mounts, have bolts, couldn't found the nuts that go with them. Have the "skid" plate and short driveside cover, with complete brake.

paccity, I have a long driveside cover, has some of the brake parts on it, no brake handle, you will need an adjuster.

Sounds great Randy. Much appreciated. This project is coming together. I can source those nuts and whatever other fasteners we'll end up needing locally.

I'm going to have to scare up a bar and chain for this saw as we get closer to completion. That's still a ways off. Gotta clear off the bench and tear this old warhorse down.

Do you have a spike set for these? I can rob one off of my 'project' SP-81 for the time being.

What brand and type of 2 stroke oil do you guys use? someone gave me a bottle of snowmobile/dirt bike 2 stroke oil and i am wondering if it would be good for chainsaws aswell? What ratio do you guys use in you're older saws? such as 50s and up.

[RandyMac]

I'll check to see what spikes fit that cover.

I have 2 jugs and they get mixed for everything. Klotz R50 and 100LL at 32:1 (easier math). No issues. Your mileage may vary.

Mac 610 questions

Going through my new to me Mac 610, cleaning her up and getting familar with her.

I have one screw that just does not want to come out.
I soaked the screw with some "knocker loose" hopefully that will work, as I do not want to strip the flat screw head.
What do you do, when you get a screw that just does not want to come out?

Also, is ther a IPL, owners manal, any info at all that I can get from you?

Thanks..

put screwdriver on it and give it whap with the handle of another screwdriver. Did that twice today, works well enough.

Or a tap with a big big hammer

 

[PainAndMurphy]

whatever u choose to tap it with -- will set it's future! lllooolllllll
:tongue2:

Which screw is stuck?

I have one of the hand held impact drivers, give it a twist in the direction you want the screw to move and give it a whack with a hammer, almost fail proof for removing stuck screws.

Only issues I ever had were the cheap screws someone installed using JB Weld on an SP70 tank top, broke the head off everyone just a cleanly as if I'd cut them off.

Usually on a 600 series the problem is keeping the screws and such tight.

 

[cat-face timber]

The screw is the one on the left bottom, I am trying to take the left side cover off so I can do some cleaning.
I tried the tapping with the hammer, using a bar wrench and a cheater bar... all no luck.


I will have to get me one of those impact screwdrivers.

Those were installed with medium strength thread compound. They can be a little tough to remove. Maybe heat will weaken the thread compound.
