Mini Mac

Look what I just found on letgo! http://app.letgo.com/k8Mk/VcDwT0usSC posted by Lynn

thistle how hard is it to do an oil change on one of these? Cool little saw and looks to be in decent shape.

 

Don't forget the filter too!

 

I think I would go with the extended life high mileage stuff!

 

They did not cost that much when they were new.

 

I'd grease the muffler bearings while you have it all tore down for the oil change.

 

I wouldn't trust that dry rotted old fan belt anymore either...hate to burn up a Schneckel valve over an old belt!

 

Might as well do the timing chain too.

 

I thought the macs had gear driven cams?
Might need to check for smooth cam phaser operation though...

 

I think they switch to the chain driven system when they introduced the roller valvetrain.

 

I've got one of them somewhere my grandpa gave me years ago I'll have to dig it out. Nice buy!!
Ps don't forget to set the injector pump timing and I think it takes a quart of 15w-40

 

I think those have a twitch that goes bad sometimes. The one that you flips up for summer air and down for winter air. Sorry, can't remember the name.

 

Does it have a hydraulic chain tensioner or is it the old mechanical style?

 

I think it is the new revolutionary electric on

 

The electromagnetic damping type?

 

Yep that's it.

 

These guys are joking!

 

Joking about what? Our saws are high tech! Mine even has a remote starter so I can warm it up in the winter!
