A JUNK YARD SUPER MAC-15 RATFIND!

HERE WE GO AGAIn folkz another one! Yep another one!!
Found this nice old MAC 15 chainsaW in the junkyard! saved it from the crusher!
I Sure like this old saw i cant wait to get it up and torquing out again..
I think its gonna be MY NEW GOTO Old bush SAW!
This old brute of a chainsaw still has alot of good compression in it!
Ok i know its not perfect and all but oh well..And AND
yes it has a lil trouble in the manifold dept..
One side of the manifold is broken off!!
but oh well im still very happy with it!
OVER all it is in nice shape..the chain even looks very decent and sharp!
yuuuup!
Very excited about this oneFOLKz!! Ok again i can wait to get it up and running again one day ...
I see that someone before me has tryed to JB weld epoxy it up the intake manifold,.,sloppy job..
I dont want to use that method i can help it....i hope i can find a intake oneday..
If not i guess i will have to epoxy itg with devcon but i truely dont want to do it that way!,,,
Or maybe oneday in my JunkYard adventures i will find a parts saw that may have a good manifold on it......my rat fingers are crossed..

Heres a few pics to Drool over..

PS
Pray for me boys! Cause im on another hot trail for another old pioneer saw that i seen at a YARD SALE!

Enjoy...

Was thinking of taking a big HAMMER to the rivets on the coil to flatten them abit more,,so they tighten down to the plate..

But changed my mind.. After seeing the answer was right in front of me
sitting on my bench ,.,
Sheesh i think my timing is a lil off these days,,,

ha!

Remove the JB weld from the manifold. Make up a plate from 1/2" steel plate with holes drilled the same spacing as the carb. Bolt the manifold and broken piece in place. TIG weld the crack. Remove the plate. Weld the crack from the inside. Take a light face cut on a mill to provide a flat surface for the carb to mount to.

ya good method thanks man,,i would love to play around with a tig for a bit..
.Never really tried one out.. ,,
seen them before and seen alot of people using them they look slick
ect..but i dont have one..Mind you i should have one..
I guess they work like a hot dam for broken off studs and bolts in heads and exhaustmanifolds ,, Seen a few dudes weld a washer on the end of a broken head bolt and then weld a nut on top of that and extract it like nothing. ,,And it worked well..Ya Tig welders are a must..
As fer my saw manifold Probly easier just to find a used part but if i had to i would try the method you have written and will keep it in mind..IF i get tig welder someday..
thanks

Great saw, sweet deal!

 

[Steve NW WI]

Cute little fellers. I got a 50V here that needs some work.

Don't see the smaller Deere/Echos around much.

 

[sledrat]

Cool i had no idea that a JD was just a echo cool thanks for that info..

They've been made by several companies over the years. Homelite, Echo, and Efco mainly.

 

[Vibes]

Complete with the famed banana bar. Nice saws. My grandpap had one of those small Echos. He ran the snot out of that thing for years.

Its a shame what those scrap guys pitch into the smelting pot. I rescued a very clean Homelite Super XL 924 just as it was going into the furnace. It was converted to a concrete saw with one of those Keen Cutter conversions. The diamond wheel on that thing was worth $100. It needed a piston and that was it. I bought it for $.16 per pound. Sold it for $350
