    Yes Oleo Mac are still sold here, they were also sold as "Blitz" and I noticed some "MTD" chainsaws are built by "Efco" very good chainsaws but poor dealer support.

    Ordered a 165 Efco from Baileys yesterday. Will let you know what I think of it in a week.
    Someone told me it would have cutting performance similar to a 116si Dolmar. If so its a winner in my book.

    I believe a 162 would have been a bit better (more power, less weight)......

    They do not offer that model, so I went with what they had. I agree that the 162 appears to be a better option.

    I havent heard of Oleo-Mac either, untill a few days ago...was visiting my local Husky dealer and he offered me a 970 which he origionally sold new, seems in good shape, just needs a chain...made in 1998. He says parts arent a problem, and this particular saw seems to have very good compression.
    Im kind of tempted, but I dont really need it. Seems that they are still available in uk, although this particular guy now stocks Efco.

    If you can get that 970 for a small amount of Euros g.b. p.`s etc I would go for it. With a muffler mod. they have a lot of grunt are rugged & well put together.Over here in France spares are easy to obtain & reasonably priced even here +we can get parts from Italy I had one & was Pestered out of it by my neibour He keeps going on about how good it is. Grrrrr wished i`d never let him have it Wouldn`t mind it myself if the price is right but then the shipping would kill the deal.

    Well...I eventually weakened, and called by the dealer. 150, which I thought was a bit pricey...but it doesn't need anything fixed on it...so I bought! Has not been used for about four years, starts on the third pull, might be a good idea to seek out an IPL!

    The 165 is a minor redesign with the stroke stretched from 34mm to 35mm.

    Curiously, the WOT rpm was dropped from 13,500 to 12,500, and rated HP dropped from 4.7 to 4.35.

    Otherwise it appears to be the same basic frame and weight as the old 56/62cc series.

    I don't understand the reduction in speed and power. Their 56 is still rated at 13,500 rpm and the 81 is still at 13,000 rpm. Hard to make sense of what those Italians are doing. .

    I picked up an older Oleo-Mac today (my first), type 261. I know these saws are plenty available in europe and less in the US, but still can't find a source for an IPL of these saws.
    anyone has a link where the oleo-mac IPL can be found ?

    thanks

    thanks. At first instance, I thought the IPL listed was not for my saw, but it covered several models...thanks Gmax.

    PS. My 261 is not in a bad shape but it's not as nice as yours

    Oleo Macs won't win any races or set any records but they are tough with a capital T.

    Laurie (rooshooter on AS) told me a funny story once when his 880 blew up. He borrowed a mate's 120cc Oleo Mac and started cutting into a decent Redgum log with a 6' bar. He said it ran OK but was a bit "gutless" for a 120cc saw. He found out later it was only 100cc! By the way, I think this model saw is still available?

    Here's some of the piccys, I don't think he'll mind. It would have to be one of the ugliest saws I've ever seen...






    It's not his Landcruiser either that he's filling with woodchips
