I've also been busy straightening up the shop and storage building. Part of that was to organize all the 82cc Mac parts. I didn't realize how much that part collection has gotten out of hand. Not pictured are the non running part saws in that same category

The motor on the right is a NOS. Not pictured is another identical to it.

I found a few extra clutch covers. One for the pm850, one for the sp80/81, and three for the 800 and up.

There are two NOS pm800 mufflers in the bags and the bagged cylinder is a "C"

I'd like to get some more seals and bearings. I'll put that on the to do list.

Looking at the lower right hand corner of Joey's photo above; the spike for the older 10 Series have an offset, the spikes for the later models have no offset but there is a notch in the clutch cover where they fit.

I am thinking about making up some flat spikes patterned after the later model saws, but with a bolt pattern to fit the older short clutch covers.

Anyone else interested in such an item?

Is there an overwhelming reason why the "flat" spike would not / should not be used on the older saws? Seems to me it would even make adjusting the chain tension easier since the spike won't be laying right next to the adjusting screw.

What got me thinking about this was the home made flat spike on a short clutch cover that recently came into my posession.

I'd like to see how they look on the short clutch covers. That spike on the PM800 looks darn good Mark.:cheers:
