Ive heard Claude did make the bow saw also from a old dodge truck fender

So I just pry it out, because I've tried to just lift it out and it doesn't budge, I checked the IPL and it looks like only those 4 bolts holding it in.

May have to wiggle it side to side with screwdrivers it fits snuggly

K so in case anyone needs to in the future, a small set a channel locks to apply some upward pressure then a couple whacks to the crank with a small plastic mallet broker her loose. So how do I get the crank seal out?

Haha nice, and where is here?

Ontario.

 

[Kensie1988]

Man your way up there, I bet y'all have some pretty awesome stuff up there! I can't imagine your climate being as bad on saws as our hot humid climate down here in the south.

Can you take a small punch and tap it out from the back side working from side to side little at a time

I shall try that tomorrow when I get off of work tomorrow.

Does anyone know what that other bolt by the oil line is for?

 

[Boomer 87]

Has to do with the oil system but im not real sure, do you have an IPL for your saw, if not go to the beg for manuals sticky you can get a downloadable version

 

[Kensie1988]

When I look at the IPL it says a cap, but it has a rubber line and filter on it, but it goes nowhere.

Be sure to check the local pawn shops for saws. I would also ask at city & county DPW shops and departments for saws that quit running and got thrown under a bench.

I haven't had a chance to make it to any pawn shops yet, but the DPW shops and departments is a good idea. There was someone online selling like 8 eel taken care of SXL-925s they got from a local fire department.

I got a echo cs-680 from a pawn shop for $70. It runs but the chain won't turn due to a bad place on the bar. They came down from the $120 asking price. That means they probably only gave $35 for it.

Yea I definitely need to check the pawn shops.

I was given a new .325 .063 62 DL stihl chain. I have an 026 that is set up for .325 .063. I found a bar on eBay that is listed for this chain. It is listed as fitting an 021, 023 and 025. 026 is not listed. Does anyone know if this will fit an 026? Thanks

I sure don't know haha, I would assume that they would all take small stihl mount
ADLM

 

[Boomer 87]

I dont think so 021 023 025 use small mount 026 uses large mount

 

[astnmacgto]

It's more thank likely I'm wrong

 

[Boomer 87]

Im not 100% either i think my 028 super takes the large mount

 

[brandonstc6]

Stihl doesn't show a 62DL 16" bar for an 026.
