Picked up an early production 026. ( oils when the engine is running ) needed mounts , bar trued , carb work , and fuel line . Made the fuel line...
I’m convinced Bar oil is engineered to get on things it doesn't belong on ! It also has some interesting characteristics that can’t be explained...
Pretty much everyone has done it at least once . If you own Shindiawas in addition to other saws ,it may have happened more than can be...
37-1 more or less :D
You could probably run a bigger bar than 24” on a 60 cc saw using skip ,or semi skip chain . I don’t think engine power would be the problem . But...
I use 89 E0 . For oil it’s either red armor ,VP ,,or Husq.XP @ 100ml to a gallon . I did try Stihl ultra . But I can’t stand the smell when it...
^^^^^^ this . Plus a pair of plastic hemostats designed for pinching off fuel ,and vent lines .
Check at Bailey’s . Sometimes they offer a package of Wiha tools for about 50 bucks . It includes 3,4,5 mm and 3/16 T handles , 3&4 mm ball driver...
Well, the latest PM 700 is a runner . Complete tear down ,new gaskets , P&V test , carb rebuild . These have to be some of the sturdiest line of...

Well, it runs . It was nasty dirty. Even the chip screen was plugged with grease and dirt . Needs a muffler cover ,carb gone through ,fuel line...
Well, it gets better ... I went over looking for a Black cover for a PM700 ,a I decided the yellow cover looks really good on myPM555 that has a...
This is the pump out of a 10-10 ,or PM 700 . But it’s fairly representative of any Mac style pump .The first pic shows the volume adjustment screw...
Most ,if not all ,old Macs ran the bar oil pump off impulse . Some of the old ,U.S. made Poulans had impulse driven bar oil pumps . I see a lot...
It’s SAE 30 ,so it should be fine for year round use . I kinda like the thinner looking oils more than say ,the thicker Husq.,Stihl stuff . Saws...
Okay ,it’s not a whole saw , but it’ll be going on one of my saws after it’s modded for a full wrap Handle that’s on it’s way . It’s NOS . The guy...
I’ll add my $.02 . But first welcome to FHC ! All the brands you mentioned make decent saws . Go with the brand that has the dealer that you are...
What do you think let loose in there ? Love the pics of your helper ...
