I was super impressed with it! It will most likely be my go to Saw moving forward, I have several good ones but nothing that runs like that one does, for its size and weight of course.
I'm missing the clutch cover on my 1-50 and that is the only place where the dogs mount so you are out of luck there. However, I have a dog on my mac 250 that I would be more than happy to get a pattern of so you can make one. The rubber grommet is also a common missing element. Let me dig around on my phone and I will try to find a picture of what my diy solution was. It was basically 3 pieces of EPDM with contact adhesive to bond it together. Works pretty good and looks way better than tape over the opening.
Yeah, my fix was kinda ugly first attempt and the adhesive is beginning to fail but that was my fault for not prepping it right.. Going to make a better one at some point. I will be sure to get a trace out of the dog when I go back home from school next time. It will be a couple of weeks though. Nice stihl as well, you will fit right in with Lonestar and myself. The other members of this forum seem to like other brands more for some strange reason.
031 still fits in the vintage category for me. My term of vintage is everything pre 90' or so.
Nah, nothing is too new for the lounge, just because we collect vintage saws don't mean we don't like the new ones as well!
Dimensions and a bearing house? I don't know for sure, never gone that far into an old saw.
My gosh! That looks like a beauty, excellent job! Looks like it's missing a polished dog though.Just finished this one a few weeks ago. Not your typical 797 Super.
Fired it off the other night, Purrrrsss like a Lion.
