Careful, parts saws have a way of becoming project saws. C'mon guys, I know I'm not the only one...
Are you talking about the chain brake/bar mount cover? They're on ebay all the time. Just like the one I ended up buying for my "parts saw".

Isn't that how all saws start out?
Two layers of saws there it looks like - is that some homelite red I see peaking through the sea of yellow? I wouldn't be sad to see that trailer backing into my driveway...
I can hear that conversation now, "What? I just needed a couple parts..."

I have a Mac 10-10 bar cover, I need a-----
No I trimmed it to fit inside the slot where the screw sits, so looking at the outside of the clutch cover you would be able to see steel through the hole/crack.
Found a decent Pro Mac 10-10 at the flea market yesterday, just needs an oiler button.
No luck with the button yet?
Nope but I was thinking about getting an aluminum bolt with a long shank and making one , just need to mic the button for size ,hell I might make one out of stock and mount a tiny skull to it ! That would be cool also.
That would be very cool.

Took the 10-10 auto out for a run on the weekend at my uncle's cabin. Cut about 2 cords of wood with it, mix of hemlock, vine maple, big leaf maple, birch and alder.
I can see why these things have a cult following, its a nice little saw that has no problem with the 24" bar. I think I put 7 tanks of gas through it and it fired up really easy every time. Just need some bucking spikes and it'll be a perfect firewood saw.
It got me excited to rebuild the 7-10

Great pictures. Nice axe too
7-10s are awesome saws. Not much more weight with a bunch more CC's
Yep the 7-10 is an animal compared to the 54cc 10-10
I'd be very interested in which piston and cylinder you find in that 7-10..., especially if it's an early one.

I've been following your 7-10 piston/cylinder exploits closely. I will take some photos when I get it torn apart.

The axe is an Arvika 5 star. I really like the weight/profile for splitting green wood. Handle could do with a couple more inches in length to save my back....
Nice man very nice. Will get me 1 of those 1 day
Sorry sometimes I don't get here often enough.
Can I throw in what little I know FWIW.
I have good scales and I weigh each saw as I get a chance and write it down.

Interesting stuff.
I don't use my pm10-10 it's far to heavy for its power.
I'm in the midst of itemizing where all the weight comes from.
The older pre pm saws are far lighter due to material changes.
There is 125grams 0.275 lb. In the starter parts alone
Goinwealing has split the tank and weighed it and I've got a pm tank to compare. The clutch cover is obviously heavier but wouldn't of been so bad had they not changed the material.
I have an old right hand pull 10-10A with a lefty and 10-10S engine and hot dam it's a wicked saw very light and dam neer pulls like a 70cc
