Vintage Chainsaw Collectors Lounge

The coil is cracked to heck. I was able to locate a wire and was able to successfully solder the spark plug lead back onto it. I was going to use marine epoxy to hopefully seal it better. My spark is very bright when a reasonable RPM is achieved but I cant help but feel that starting will be difficult. Do you think this unit has any degree of collectivity? How rare/common are these GL-7R saws?

I collect Remington saws, and have yet to see a GL-7R; they are rather uncommon. It is quite a collectible saw to Remington or Mall enthusiasts.

We NEED pics!

I'm finally home at least but haven't been feeling well for days now. I've got the kids today while mama is at work. Maybe during nap I'll pull out a saw and hold it for a bit

As if a screaming chainsaw won't wake them, wait til they are awake.

Is the Poulan super 380 a junker or one of the "better" ones?

 

[Kensie1988]

One of the best and it's a Poulan Pro, 61cc 13,800 RPM

It will not work for you wrong color..... Drop ship to Gettysburg.
That saw will give you nothing but trouble

It's awfully quiet in here! But, I bet Ya'll are either cutting down trees right now or working on your chainsaws, right? I haven't heard much about the under 40cc chainsaw competition. Who's got the fastest saw, thus far?

No, on vacation right now actually. Haven't even started on the saw build yet. If I was home I would be using a saw though. Got quite a few severe storms so far this week in our area and more on the way yet.

Well, have a great vacation. Hope you get a saw in your hands, very soon.

I've got a few things I'm working on, but I have the Saw for the challenge at least lol.

I did this little modification earlier, it's really common for the mounts of the 450 muffler to break which will cause the muffler to split, well mine has been repaired but I have trouble keeping to bolts in, so I needed to at least make a 3rd point of contact and I figured the one next to the carb housing was the most important so I fashioned a piece of metal and slipped it on between the carb housing and the cylinder to bolt the muffler to.

I just switched jobs this week. I was in the wedding/party tent business for over 7 years and was a foreman that knew everything and trained people. Now I'm in the lobster business and I'm the new guy that doesn't know anything and learning. Not much time for saws. I have a few little saws muff modded and tuned and trying to figure out an aggressive chain to file. I need more time and practice on the chains. If I can not find time or better my hand filing skills I might just use new loops of Stihl pro chain. The one thing I wish I did do was before and after videos. Some of my runners were modded awhile back while I was just getting into saws and lurked on this site before joining.

Ik the feeling, my probationary period ends tomorrow which means I can finally shed my yellow helmet in favor of my permanent white one. It feels good. Best of luck with your new job

750 EVL pulled a 28" full chisel chain through the nasty part of this log without struggling. The evil orange might be slow but she's strong!

The job is awesome. It has a group health plan and dental and a 401k. Everything a family man needs. Congrats on your newest pro saw.

Well that's great to hear and thanks I hope it's not a lemon, it's a 2011 model.

Thanks, it's hard to enjoy myself though. Nearly a whole week without doing work is pretty tough, starting to get to me lol. And yes, a saw is going to be one of the first things I touch when I get back home Sunday. First things going to be modding the ms361 oiler in preparation for milling.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Ugh, so hard looking at all these saws, and being unable to touch one! I can't wait to be back home, storms might net me some fun projects, will have to see. Anyone want me to bring them a project boat or outboard? In the Florida keys, and the place is covered with them.

Well I looked over the 5200, piston and cylinder looks great. Now the bad news, the pictures tell the story. Needs a handle assembly and the right side case. [emoji30]
