Barn Find

[huskyhouse]

You might want to look and see if it has a reed valve my 758g broke and I couldn't get it running. I'm still looking for an air filter and cover to hold it in, I think my son was playing with it and now can't find it.

The saw was sitting on a dirt floor for years. Here's some pictures of the damage.

I'm thinking either:
1) Clean up the remaining aluminum, build up with some two part epoxy like PC7, sand & paint.
2) I found a parts saw online that will cost me $60.00 to my door with a good frame and gear cover.

Any thoughts?

It runs!! Not to bad either.
I want to be able to run this saw on occasion so I decided to disassemble and JB Weld the damaged aluminum. I did the gear box cover first. It's not artistic but it sems solid.

I prepped some other parts as well.

Here is a link to the Acres site with the specs for that saw.
Cool old saws. I have a David Bradley 360 that is very similar to this one.

I stripped the saw down to the frame and today I'll start repairing it. I'll post more pictures as I go along.
