We can't wait that long... So we figured we'd start the flingin' early. There's gonna be a Roper/Craftsman showdown... 3.7/18's at high noon... (-:

Got the 3.7 ready finally... Converted to .050 3/8" 20"B&C ... Now everything is plug and play with the Dolmar and husky... "Got lots of 72dl chains" Thanks to Jerry, I got a PDF of the operation manual. Lo and behold, the auto oiler was set tight closed. Not the easiest thing to locate behind the outboard clutch... Which was seriously stuck from sitting for years... I'll try to vid it this weekend... Surprisingly well built saw...

so i guess you got the clutch off? i'm guessing your manual oiler was working though. waiting for the vid and your opinion concerning the B&C change.

This is what it looks like. Sorry about the bad pic. Didn't realize it was blurry till this morning. Haven't put it in a log yet.

I'll hold on to that thought... Cause when we talk pounds per HP it don't look so good...:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[jerrycmorrow]

both are lookin good. did you have a spanner wrench for the clutch or did you have to make one? was your old sprocket serviceable?

All the parts are in "like new" condition... I didn't have a spanner wrench, so I stuck 2 screw drivers in the holes, put a socket on the flywheel nut, put a long bolt between the screwdrivers and proceeded to beat the hell out of it...
:hmm3grin2orange:
It had a .325 8 pin rim sprocket on it and was replaced with a 7 pin 3/8's.
And yes, the sprocket is in great shape...

glad to hear you got it off. did you happen to time your cut before you changed it out? still curious as to what effect your changes have on the cutting. did you stay with a rim sprocket? i'm afraid with that 7 pin you may have to give me a head start on the showdown.

Yes, the 7 is a rim sprocket. The difference in circumference between the .325 8 and the .375 7 is negligible. I don't doubt it would cut faster with the .325, but my objective was to make it's bars and chains compatible with the myriad of 20" bars and chains I currently have hanging all over the shop... Now, for the race part... How bout an 8 pin running 3/8 low pro on a 16" bar?????:msp_sneaky:

i think you need to run a 28" bar and i'll run the 18"

It's quiet in here... Too quiet...
