Sears H58G gear drive chainsaw

[cdahl383]

Picked up this Sears H58G chainsaw yesterday. I believe it’s a 95cc saw with a tecumseh AH58 engine based on what I found online.

It definitely needs some work but for the most part appears to be complete. Missing a few small things like the oil tank cap and some little screws.

It’s not seized up, though it’s a little low on compression. The piston isn’t scored up though. It has no spark, so I’ll have to figure that out. The fuel lines and filter look like they are newer which is good.

The chain on it is in good shape and it’s huge! Appears to be 1/2” chain possibly as it’s bigger than the .404” chain on my pioneer.

I still have other saws to go through before I get to this one, but it should be a fun project trying to get this one to run again.

Interesting. The Sears H58G must be a generation later than 758G (David Bradley). Seems both AH58 Tecumseh Air Products company !?

I happen to have 2 of the 758G. Bought a parts saw that turned out better of two & easily made runner. Holding original as parts unit, only missing recoil. Two decent 20" bars & one as new 1/2 chain plus 2 or 3 old loops. Sadly, chain worth more than saws.

Message me if any interest. I really don't need. Visit Michigan on occasion so could drop-off lower state. Some other stuff too; Pioneer 600, Pioneer 2270, Pioneer 9xx (omc carb unit/ holiday?).

I'm not sure when it was made. I'm still trying to find more info on the saw at this time. It does seem to have a AH58 Tecumseh engine though from what I found so far.

Do you have any pics of the 758G?

That's the problem with a lot of these old saws. They're so obscure that only a limited number of people are really interested in them. No one wants to use a 25lb chainsaw on a regular basis anymore when there are way lighter/more powerful modern options out there.

I'd be interested in the 758G and Pioneer 600. I have a Pioneer 620 I'm working on right now. I think the 600 is almost the same saw with just a few minor cosmetic differences. I'm over in Monroe country (southeastern Michigan).
