Olympic 251

Sorry guys but the Search Function is caput. What's your thoughts on the 251. It is I believe 49cc's, similar to the Jonsereds 49sp and the Poulan 3000. Comparable?

Had a 251B since mid 80's. also have a 251S, 252, 264. Love them all. Pro saws, easy to work on. Parts can be hard to come by.

Yea, that's the problem with a lot of old saws.

meant to say also that i believe the 251 is a points type ignition, same as my early 252. if the saw is a runner i'd snag it. parts saws are sometimes available; when you see one though ya better score it before one of us oly fans do.

Yes, the 251 is a points ignition.

A 1991 "999" with a 42" bar, I've since changed the bar to a 25" hard nose belly bar.

 

[heimannm]

Olyman has a 999 that someone worked over for milling, it is a brute force saw...

Mine was a slug when I first got it, the governor was kicking in too early (spring & ball bearing type) since I've disabled it It's a brute for sure.
Parts are hard to come by but I have a 999 cut off powerhead for spares.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

love (lust) that saw wayne. like to do some milling and i'm guessing that one would just flat do it.

Hey Gmax! Do you know anything about Stanley branded cut off saws. I was at an estate sale and one was there. I was with some people and we were on motorcycles so I didn't get a good look at it cause of course the rest of the group was in a hurry. It looked similar to my 999 in blue. I was wondering if it was a relabled Oly cut off saw.

I don't, but I did a google search, the Stanley one here sure looks like a Oly 999

That one does look like a 999. That's the first I've seen one. My google search turned up nothing when I looked. The one that I saw for sale was much older and less modern looking than the one in your link.Plus it was a lite blue color. I will have to keep an eye out for another one.

I didn't snipe you out of that saw but I was watching that one. That guy got a nice deal on it. What part of Western Pa. are you from? Do you look at CL? Theres a nice Italian model on there that I'm surprised has been there that long.

Not a clue about the serial numbers on the saws myself. I redid a saw out of parts that I was totally wrong on the model the whole time I was messing with it. I was going off the recoil sticker that I later found out was from the wrong saw.

45 miles due north of da 'burgh.off I go to CL
