Another great day. I ended up getting the whole pioneer 620. Might try to get it running, and find a different coil for the 450? I also got a (technically) free Mcculloch super 55. Not a bad first MAC, Eh? It was from the storage room of the museum I volunteer at, no one there is much into saws, and the guy in charge said I could take it. I slipped a $20 in the donation box to prevent any guilt.
I think it will run good with a bit of work. It has tons of compression, but the piston is slightly scored. The rings and cylinder are just fine, so I think I will be able to buff out the minor scuffing with some 15 micron lapping film, and reuse it. Atleast two more felling saws are joining me next weekend, and I have a chance at a Mcculloch 1-76. I plan to get the mac all torn down tomorrow, I am doing a full resto to factory condition, so it won't be going for a while. I will get some pictures up a little later, have to transfer them from my phone.
