If you ever need some parts for the 1-53 I have a parts saw that I would be willing to take parts off of. It had spark and the piston looked really good, but I'm reluctant to repair it since it is missing some expensive covers, and because of the Mag rot on the handle.

Mine is missing the felling dogs or dog, I don't know if it came with one or two. I was thinking about making a set but if you have them I'd be interested if I get this thing running. Also I'm missing the "I assume", rubber boot that mounts on the air box cover in line with the carb adjustment screws.

Those 120SI's are awesome saws. Great power for a 30 some year old saw.
I use them all the time in my little firewood biz. Got a few hours on one today.
I have three that are set up just like yours with full wraps.

I was super impressed with it! It will most likely be my go to Saw moving forward, I have several good ones but nothing that runs like that one does, for its size and weight of course.

I'm missing the clutch cover on my 1-50 and that is the only place where the dogs mount so you are out of luck there. However, I have a dog on my mac 250 that I would be more than happy to get a pattern of so you can make one. The rubber grommet is also a common missing element. Let me dig around on my phone and I will try to find a picture of what my diy solution was. It was basically 3 pieces of EPDM with contact adhesive to bond it together. Works pretty good and looks way better than tape over the opening.

Here's the grommet I made.

I like the fix for the air box. Dementions on the dog would be cool.

Just had this given to me today another project runs great just a clean up and I have a new Christmas tree saw. it maybe a little new for the lounge but it's vintage to me.

Yeah, my fix was kinda ugly first attempt and the adhesive is beginning to fail but that was my fault for not prepping it right.. Going to make a better one at some point. I will be sure to get a trace out of the dog when I go back home from school next time. It will be a couple of weeks though. Nice stihl as well, you will fit right in with Lonestar and myself. The other members of this forum seem to like other brands more for some strange reason. 031 still fits in the vintage category for me. My term of vintage is everything pre 90' or so.

Nah, nothing is too new for the lounge, just because we collect vintage saws don't mean we don't like the new ones as well!

That's right. I got a new to me Poulan super 25da last week, although it maybe older than these guys.

Most of these saws are older than them.

Speaking of Mac needles. Is there anywhere I can get 2 or 3 instead of a whole set?

Dimensions and a bearing house? I don't know for sure, never gone that far into an old saw.

For what saw. Not sure if most Mac's used the same needle. I have some good
used ones out of 797's and 125's. I can send you a few if you want.

Just finished this one a few weeks ago. Not your typical 797 Super.
Fired it off the other night, Purrrrsss like a Lion.

Takes awhile to do one right.

I think 797 needles will work. I believe I have a 740 or 797 with a MC100 kart motor installed. I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

My gosh! That looks like a beauty, excellent job! Looks like it's missing a polished dog though.
