Whoa! Stop by Race Brothers on your way to the charity cut. I just bought a 71 driver .404 Stihl RS that was less than that.

Do you have any bars off of any C-series saws?

I've got a couple C series hardnose bars in the 18-20" range around here. If you're interested, I'll try to dig em out this weekend and see what sort of shape they're in. Could deliver to IA GTG and save shipping. I might have a decent used loop of .404 semi chisel to go with, but don't quote me on that part yet.
I put 3/8 - 8 on my XP1000, seemed to work well for the little while it ran. I need to get it out before the GTG and figure out what died, but it's somewhere in the ignition department. Lost spark all together and all at once.
Any other parts you might need for that C51, I might have. I have a couple C series parts carcasses here.

84 dl of .404 x .063 chipper chain from Jeff's south of River City was 21 bux. I was smilin' when I left.
If you are positive on the driver count, I could get him to make up a loop and send it along with Mo.Jim.

Nope, the normal Homie D096, D196 bars are too small in the tail. B.T.D.T. Even my somewhat larger Remy roller nose were too small.

thanks Carl! I think Doug's bringing me a chain, I'm gonna see how the saw cuts with a good chain, I'll let you if I need another thanks again cobey
Any one know what is cranking pressure for these old saws. My 707D blew just shy of 145psi. It has a new piston and rings running in a scratched, but not severely scored cylinder. It has now run Idled and throttled up for a total of about 10 minutes.
I have to send off my dead new tinytach and hope to get a warranty replacement, so I can set up the governor to 6K. Then I can cut wood and get it tuned to break from 4 stroke into 2 stroke...yeah baby...

Saw this on my local C/L. Not my thing, and way more money than I'd spend, but if someone here wants it, let me know and I'll do what I can to help. It's right on my way to work.

Wow! Way too rich for my blood, but what an exceptionally nice specimen!
I saved this Homelite from the scrapyard. Opened it up and found the P&C were badly scored. I thought they looked similar to the original EZ so I got into my spare parts and guess what - same parts. The crank bearings felt tight and smooth so I put it back together with the good P&C, put new diaphragms in the carb, did a general clean up and it runs good. Clutch and drum look the same as a C51 and the sprocket shows just a little wear. Aside from a cracked engine shroud and repaired plug wire, this thing looks original and in pretty good shape. Fuel and oil tanks are clean.
So, what model is it? I can't find any model number on the saw - there may be a guard missing around the carb. I looked through the Acres site but short of opening each model, I couldn't find it.
I'll probably be selling it.

Thought I'd add - checked compression today - 145. not bad for this engine.
