Use a regular bolt and reshape the head......

That makes so much sense esp since they are NLA per the site and the parts place I stopped at last night. Thanks for the idea.

Your friend should consider getting rid of that saw. I don't think they're bad saws but I absolutely could not get parts for mine. The bar oiler went bad on mine and I looked everywhere, including Sears, MTD,(the manufacturer) and McCulloch, none had parts for this saw even though it's not that old. I sold mine for parts.

This saw is barely used. Piston and cylinder look new. Probably only gets a few hours of run time a year, if that. When something breaks on it that we can't get a part for then I'll tell him he's donating it to me as a "parts" saw and tell him to buy a new one. Till then I'll fix it and send it back. I'm going to have him use Tru Fuel from now on and run it empty when he's done with it.

The parts place I stopped at last night said it looked like it was made by Ryobi for Sears. MTD wouldn't surprise me.
 
I decided to go have a look see in a 2 cycle repair shop yesterday while I was waiting for new wheel bearing assemblies, and shocks to be installed on my truck. Apparently this saw was abandoned by the previous owner 9 months ago who didn't want to pay his meager repair bill.

That's a damn nice saw.

Impossible, I've never spent the night at the Cuddle Lane love shack.

Yet. You've not spent the night there YET. You too will be assimilated. :msp_sneaky:

My two favorite things in that movie are the 'Dueling Banjos' scene (of course) and the International Scout that Burt Reynolds drives. You guys can keep the 'squeal like a pig' stuff.....:sucks:
 
Got one of two 395's rebuilt both are well used stump saws from a tree company.

It got new Meteor piston, coil, carb kit, hoses, AND base gasket

How I found the base gasket, no idea how it didn't toast the saw.

Those 660's are nice, but I heard an Echo 670 is faster in the hard cut, and not as "jumpy". Which makes sense, since it's got higher numbers in its name.

I would rather take one of those slower and jumpy saws any day over a echo 670 turd.
