Just got an old mac 1-42 running again. I have really enjoyed using this old saw, but it needs some spikes on it. Anyone have any idea where i might find a spike to fit this old saw. Thanks!:greenchainsaw:

are you sure it uses spikes cause the ipl of the 1-42 dates back to the 60s and it dont show a spike on the whole saw ?
thanks

The ipl lists it in the back under tools and accessories, it is part # 51443
How much are you willing to spend?
4 tooth or 5 tooth?

But there is a pretty good reason not to mount a spike
On any of the 1-4X engines....

1-46 with the 4 tooth spikes - worked pretty well

Very good
The 46 is the only exception......now why would it be?

The same reason makes it a good idea to not run the same saws at 50 to 1

I have the whole 1-4X series, and though the IPL's only show 50041 on 1-41, 1-45 and 1-46 all of mine came to me with the brace.
The 1-46 is the only one I've actually taken out to cut with and decided I'm not man enough to do that more than an hour or so any day.

locustslayer - I can come up with a spare 50041 as well if you are interested, all it takes is $$.

Archie, were you going to see if you had any air filters for the 910 & 930 Jonsered saws? I think we corresponded on that topic a while back?

Actually I did find some
For at least one of the two......new ones.
The 1-4X had no bearings at the piston with the exception that Mark pointed out.
So loading the saw by digging in dogs is asking for problems and if coupled with running 50 to 1 it is almost a sure problem.
You can do it but it is like putting big wide tires on an old family sedan that has a big V-8....it will work but you spin those tires a time or 2 and you're gonna break stuff........

...including the handle and airbox, since many of those did not come with the lower brace as noted above.

locustslayer,
My apologies for hi-jacking your thread :arg:

I believe the brace they are speaking of is the brace from under the saw extending to the rear handle.. If the lower brace is not present it is common to break the rear handle off when bucking with the spikes do to the pulling upward on the handle..

Im sorry but I dont know the difference in a 50041 or a 51443. I really need just one as this saw is just a toy.

If the two CP125's I have coming in have the spikes on them I will have a spare I can send you.. I will know Monday.. I bought up a couple off of E-Bay a while back and put one on my 1-43 mainly to protect the front of the tank from getting all scuffed up..
