Sachs Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

Milling 10x10 cants for my first try at timber framing.

It will be an enclosure inside my pole barn. An area big enough for working on vehicles and small enough to heat with my old wood stove.

It will have a mezz on the top for storage, and a bunch of insulation.

May even air condition it.


You know them bugs were in Michigan before they got here.

I have heard they are already in New York State.

Good luck to ya Brother.

Yes Sir,

Them bugs are devastating, it would be like some organism got into your body and started eating your veins.

All your extremity's would get no nourishment and would die off.

Quite a gruesome way to go eh?

Not nice to think of surely. My Grandfather and his people always girthed all the trees they wanted to cut for lumber, they did this in the early spring and cut the following winter. They thought it stabilized the wood better by drying it on the stump.

540 gets an upgrade

My PS 540 is one of my favorite saws. I would also take it over either of the pro 50cc class stihl or huskys (we all know which 2).
I have wanted to upgrade it to 3/8" for a while and my parts finally came in. I got my new Oregon power match replaceable tip 16" bar and chain and a 3/8" 7 pin rim.
I used it today on some dead oak 6"-12" and WOW what a combo. It is super fast. I had that trunk cut in about 3 minutes. The hard part was carrying the logs 100 yard out of the woods to the truck:censored:
What an awesome saw.
New parts installed

old .325 setup, lots of life left too.

Looks good in the new basement too Joe.

Here's my latest, back together now, well almost. Dolmar 166 / McCulloch SP118. I was pulling it over to see if the rebuilt carburetor would pump gasoline (trying to watch the Tygon fuel line while I pulled) when this beast fired into life without the muffler in place. WOW!

It starts and idles well but I need to find one more "brake spring" for the starter 113 166 081, and a couple of o-rings for the manual oiler.

I have a 34" bar that came with the saw and look forward to trying it out at the Iowa GTG this coming Saturday.

I need one of those little springs that operate the starter pawls

Nice saw Joe, ..I would like to run one sometime, the closest saw I have to one of them is the older 115i, it is a real cutter for its size.

[sachsmo]

That yellow Dolmar is a beauty.

Can I have dibs on it?

 

[pioneerguy600]

Mark your SP118 is coming along nicely, hope you find the spring you need for the recoil, it should be a popular saw at the GTG.

That looks to be the same spring as on my 153. Could not find one, so I made my own.

It only needs a very slight bit of tension to work properly.

It is the main reason I am going!!

Well, that and the tour of the world famous Dike Mac Museum!

Nice saw mark! How many ccs is that? any idea on the year?
The cellar isnt done yet. I cut my bench top and put shelves underneath. Lots more to do!

 

[heimannm]

Introduced in 1984, 118 cc's. It certainly has a distinctive thump at idle.

Mark

Fixed it, should read 118, sorry to get everyone so excited...

Nope

Nope

Is 12hp correct? That is more than my snowblower

 

[stihl_collector]

I have a Sachs Dolmar 153 with Elec ignition which has let out the smoke, Have any Sachs Dolmar owners found a replacement ignition for this particular saw or is there another model which shares the same ignition?

The 166 was introduced in 1982
and is 118cc's. Not sure when Mcculloch
signed on with Sachs Dolmar to intoduce
mccullochs SP118.

No it is not, that is a SAE rating I think, It's not that high, in the real world.
