Vintage Chainsaw Collectors Lounge

Question for y'all;

What was the biggest/best score of chainsaws you've had at one time?

I bought a couple piles of old saws that were in the back of a couple of old trucks
About 50 saws all together,old Mac's,old Homies,old Pioneers one old Titan and the best was a Solo Twin.
Got them all for less than the value of the Solo.Got lucky the Solo was on the bottom of one pile and got spared from weather,except the air filter which is made from a bunch of steel plates.It got water damage and rusted.But the saw has great pistons and spark.

In regards to my 750? I'm not certain. I haven't dug in that far yet...

Cam on the crankshaft and plunger. Takes a good deal of tinkering to find the right initial setting. Halfway between max and min flow.

750EVL pulls like a diesel truck w/24".[emoji106]

Best I've had was 14 McCullochs, 2 Homelites, a Lancaster and a Remington for around $200

I live about a mile from the old Lancaster saw manufacturing plant. You see lots of them here.

hi Dave. a little soggy on top the hill today. the state is gonna close our road so they can replace the bridge at the bottom of the hill. i'm thinking when that happens it might be a good time to wack that big dead oak i showed you when you were here. might need your long cable.

Find the high place on the cam. Turn the pump body down against it. Turn pump body out one turn and test.

If you turn it out too far you get no oil. Turn it in too far you run risk of ruining the cam.

And put new 'O' rings on it. Them will suck bar oil and smoke.

Spoiled if you got enough wood to cut all to break a saw in. If I didn't toss the mill on the ms361, I wouldn't even have a tank in on it yet.

Welcome to AS! You have come to the right thread, all the others are inferior.[emoji16] You will have to let us know how the 3d printed stuff works if you get to try it out. Quit curious, what filimant could you possibly use that would act as a gasket/seal?

Sorry for the delay. I make gaskets out of NinjaFlex filament.

Hmm, neat! I was considering recently of creating a cad file for some Homelite antivibe mounts and having someone print them, until I looked a little on ebay and found them for a song of what printing them would have cost. It would be quite interesting to see how a print like that would hold up for a anti-vibe system on a saw. I definitely see a use for it, particularly with expensive, hard to find parts.

If you make the STL model files I will print them for next to nothing for you... for science.

Any recommendations for bucking spikes on my Echo 750 EVL?

You would have had me sold this winter when I had some more time to draw a file up! Now with spring here I have way less time, and really want the saw running again. I will keep that in mind next time.

I feel like your best shot at good looking bucking spikes for those echoes will be fabricating some yourself, Echo never really produced reall agressivd bucking spikes to my Knowledge.

 

[67L36Driver]

I don't have it anymore but, to the best of my memory the Echo 750 was very similar to the Homie C-5, 7 & 9 spike.

I'm pretty tempted to fab my own but I'm not certain what design would work best. Any patterns out there?
