Thanks Jacob J already found a 029 cover. Did u ever find that super2 black trim piece for the handle we talked about a while ago? still looking for one. Also looking for 064,066 plastic! And a tank handle.
Oh well, not to worry- I'm sure you pamper her in many other ways.
Quinn-
I have a clutch cover you can have, it's brand new. My little contribution.
Pm'ed you about that clutch cover.
Yeah I already have two of those that I'm not really interested in doing much with. One I got for free locally, the other I got on trade from a member here. I'm going to pull both motors and make them into go-kart machines.
Picked up a poulan super 31 and a mac 33 or 35. Both turn over freely and the mac is complete with bar and chain. The poulan is just missing recoil cover and string. If anyone is interested PM me.
That's a 35. A 33 would have an air filter that's about 1/2 as tall as the one on your saw. I have a 35 and a 35A that someday will merge to make one runner..........once I pick up a metering diaphragm for it.
You know where to get a diaphragm for one of those???
There have been a few on feebay lately. Usualy they are priced pretty steep however (more than I payed for both my 35's). I still kicking myself for missing a stack of them that were being sold by a fellow that didn't know what he had. For some reason I never set up the snipe on that auction. That was about six months ago. A couple other members here have some of these gaskets, and I'll bet that Bob Johnson and Discount Marine have some yet.
I have a good running 35. After going through that carb I think I have now seen it all. LOL
The diaphragm is ok in it but I would like a spare.
You said it. 50's Mac carbs are something special............to put it kindly. You haven't seen it all until you've gone through a McCulloch 49/77 carburetor by the way (or possibly that from a 73 or a 5-55). They're even worse than the 33/35/39. Kind of like a German MG34 or the engine in a BF109........if you're into old firearm and/or aircraft engine designs. About 20 times as complicated as it needs to be.
Did you know that the 33/35/39 family has a pump diaphragm down in the fuel tank under the engine? It's a different part # depending on which of the three models you have BTW. The metering diaphragam/gasket 'sandwich' assembly (that goes on the side of the saw) is the same for all models IIRC. PM me if you need an IPL for your 35...
My theory is that in both cases (WWII German small arms and aircraft engines, and McCulloch Chainsaws of the '50s), they designed them that complicated just so they could show off their manufacturing skills. There's a reason the McCulloch 77 gear drive I recently traded away sold for something like $500 in 1957. That'd be about $4K in today's dollars.
Anyone have any gas hedge trimmers up for trade?
Using a cord with my hedges is a joke.

Oh, other classic saws. I'm not really a Homelite guy per se', although I have a few Homelites kicking around because they're cool saws. This 550 is a low-hour old man saw that runs good and has great compression.
