Hello BillG and sb47. I got your email, Bill. And now I've read all of this thread. I log into Arborsite 3-4 times a week and read all the posts in Chainsaws, but I never read the Homeowner Helper Forum. I have nothing to add to this subject. Other members gave good advice earlier in the thread...

The back one.

On my workbench is a really fine running and cutting Husky L65 with a stripped bar bolt. I can't get the clutch cover off and don't know how I'm going to get the nut off the bolt and the bolt out of the powerhead casting. It's a great old saw and I want to fix it.

So sad to hear this. Of the thousands of people whose posts I have read on the chainsaw forums, Gypo Logger's posts and comments have always stood out in my memory. He was the real thing... a woodsman, a logger, a chainsaw expert and, I'm sure, he could use an axe, build a fire in a blizzard...

I wrote a bit about the Mono saws in the chainsaw collectors' Swede-based forum: ********************************/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=209562#p209562 We discussed the Mono saddle-tank saws there and the later SL-series Monos. There are a couple of brochures showing various Mono models. The...

Looks good, Bill. There are more Skarie saws known to still exist than I thought. With this one of yours, nine now known to exist. Still a really rare old collectible.

Also the Cox Beaver. This one belongs to Kevin Krotenko in Sasketchewan. Kevin also has one of the Skarie saws and Pete Smyth in northern California has one, the original Skarie company in Baltimore has one and I have three. I had five at one time but I traded two away to Kevin and Pete. Mark...

And the Skarie Chain Lightning belt-drive made in Baltimore MD a year or two before the Porter-Cable 530 and 533. Only six known to exist.

Why are you messing around with saws that cost $600 and $80-100 every time you take one to a dealer? Get you a good old iron-clad ProMac 610 or two and a good Echo 452VL both for around $100-150 and get to know Sam Alire in Las Vegas, retired Husky saw technician who still works on saws of all...

Joyce was a fine lady and very knowledgeable about Homelite chainsaws. She and her husband had a Homelite dealership in the 1950's-1960's and, after he passed on, she kept up the dealership for a while, then sold parts for early Homelites and many other models clear up until her passed away in...

Bill, who is tending those beehives? Are there colonies of living bees in them? This will be my 52nd year of beekeeping. We are in the midst of a prolonged drouth here and it does not look good for bee forage in most places around here this year. Some small areas along irrigated fields in the...

31 Mac 3-25's, with SN's scattered all over the 113,000 SN's of the 3-1/2 years of production and showing all the changes in design and parts, is enough. Unless I find another one of the 1072 which were made in October 1949. In that case, I need 32.

ST - Do you not understand that the McCulloch 3-25 is ONE model? The 3-25 was the first one-man chainsaw made by McCulloch. Bill - Looking forward to the pix. Ken

Hey, Bill. Glad you're back. You know I only have 31 McCulloch 3-25's...

They're still working out glitches in the power controls. Some dube at the test facility cut the ankles off 212 sheep in a pasture a quarter mile away. OSHA won't sign off on full production and distribution until they figure out how to protect elementary schools near logging shows.

I got a 4'x3' Stihl dealer's sign from a former Stihl dealer in Colorado for $20. Vintage about 1980. Had to remove it from his building. 2-sided. Exposed side was slightly weathered. Side toward building mintish. Shows a saw from late-70's, early-80's on each side. I'm not much of a Stihl fan...

You can find parts listed and maybe a manual here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/2e9c930ak1-000247/craftsman-917351071-chainsaw-parts

I'm still keeping the Early McCulloch Serial Numbers list. I still check in here from time-to-time to see what's going on with other AS members. Post your 5-49's serial number and I'll add it to the registry.

Are the Hoedads still a functional group? Tree planting and thinning in the early 1970's.
