[GASoline71]

The cat that won at my party did the same thing. Swung it by the starter rope...

It's got the stock 6 tooth spur, it would never pull a taller gear. I got a little more out of it after I shot this video by advancing the ignition timing a little bit. I'm going to bore the outlet hole in the fuel filter out as it's tiny and I don't want to lean it out.

I have the 7 tooth .325 on mine, its about the same diameter as the 6 pin 3/8. mine is a rim and drum for a 36-142 husky.
I guess it would be easy enuff to put the 7 pin 3/8rim on it since I have a 16" 3/8 bar but like you said it probabely anit gonna pull that much gear.

We did that at the GTG at my store last October. Weimedog was the winner by almost 10 feet. He used the "David" method, as in David and Goliath, and swung the thing by the rope. That poor little saw flew a lot faster than it ever cut.

Did the saw run before and after? :spam: :greenchainsaw: :spam:

I hadn't thought about using a husky drum, a rim would be fun to play around with. Thanks for the idea.

I didn't bother with 2x4s, but I figured this maple would be a good test.
Chain is a Chinacrap semi chisel.

Lookin good Mike.

 

[Andyshine77]

Mike not bad at all, actually pretty impressive.

Nik when are you going to pick up a WT???

 

[Mastermind]

Will this qualify in the Wildthing class? The one I've been working on is only 36cc, this is a 42cc, and we all know there is no replacement for displacement.

[rms61moparman]

I never thought I'd live to see the day that I was looking for a Wildthing for parts!!!

And I SURELY never thought they'd all be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
This is great.
Anybody got an idea what rim-sprocket clutch fits these things?
I'm working up a second one now!

2800-2900 pouland oregon has a rim drive .36-142 husky oregon has a rim drive.
same part# will fit wildthingie.
2.5 " drum 10mm crank- you will need a plastic cage bearing because the metal cage bearing in the wildthang wont fit the oregon drum.
The oregon drum is the outer race for the clutch bearing.

 

[Zombiechopper]

this thread could triple the value of a wild thing on craigslist across the USA!

Bidding wars for wildthings on ebay!

I can see it now. Poulan thanks you!

 

[Mastermind]

About the sprockets, my old 36cc has the outboard clutch, the red 42cc has an inboard. The red one is the one I will be working on now so what rim drum will fit on it?

I could only get so much out of the 36cc saw, and after Mike posted his I knew I was beat, and beat bad...lol. That's why I dug up a different saw. :spam:

 

[stihl sawing]

yep... its a red wildthing

But it's a pro saw, It even says so on the cover. Totally unfair.<a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&lpver=3&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000203FC.gif" border="0" title="Click to get more." ></a>
