Shame to get it dirty. Should at least paint the raised logo on the starter cover yellow..., just because.

What prompted the "Rhino" theme?

here is the super44a i am thinking of parting with. Starts but carb is plugged with filter wick bits. Has a broken choke spring. A couple fins on chipscreen are broken. And there is a chip out of clutch cover.

I was running a 24" 404 but i put the original bar back on. The 404 chain is beat.

So I fit some .404 , 050 gauge to a 24" bar for the ProMac 700.
The loop was incorrectly placed on a .063 bar .
The cuts are poplar, maple (hard as hell) and aromatic cedar. I noodled the cedar, and I love pink noodles!
As you can see the 700 didn't have a tough time with the old semi chisel stihl chain.

Seems like she is running nicely.

Yes, I bought this saw from a local saw shop with the understanding that it was locked up, starter cover was misaligned.
I believe that if I'm going to test a chain , sprocket , or bar length its important to use a known good running saw so as to get a correct estimate of how a combination works.

yes sir i agree but it would be a shame not to run it..i wanted to paint the logo white but could figure out how to do it and not be affraid how it would turn out..its still a mac no matter the color

A lot of shops just pull the cord and assume rather than work on a saw that is out of theyre comfort zone. Had a lot of them over the years that needed nothing to fix. Had a 576 husky for 150 bucks with pinched wires to the cutoff switch, went through 7 shops...nobody even tried. Said it was scored. Carbon marks because the spark kept dropping out,that wiped off with no effort. Still have it. Its a nice saw that cost 20 minutes and 0 dollars to fix.

And yes on the known good. This is why i didnt sharpen my chain when testing my 850. Literally comparing apples to apples from my 800 to the 850. If i sharpened it when i swapped it i would only be estimating. And i took that tree down with the 800 and swapped the bar and chain to the 850 to get a real feel for the power one to the other.

 

[huskadolmar]

I had to take that red oak down at chest height because i didnt have the clearance where i needed to drop it. The next cut using the 800 took just under a minute. Thats why you could hear my wife say 43 seconds holy **** on the test cut video for the 850. Not even realizing she was counting the time to start the saw in it. It was faster for sure.

 

[huskadolmar]

I would figure...with the same bar and chain i was 20 seconds faster with the 850 over the 800 in slightly thicker wood.

Its still a real nice mac whether its yellow or not. If you use it and keep it going, who cares what color it is. It adds a personal character to it.
