A vacuum test is something I havent tried out yet. I guess I will have to look into that. Are thise seals available still for crankshaft?

I had a little trouble getting the saw to start if you have it sitting flat on the floor/ground, or hold it in the same position it is hard to start. If you tilt the saw over on it's side maybe 10 degrees it starts easy. Once you have it running in the upright position it tries to die, or if...

Anyone have the manuals for 038s and 056 stihls?

Yep, had to follow me home. Looks like the one saw has lost spark. I have some parts already being shipped for the saw. We ordered a loop of chain and hopefully will piece remote throttles together. May be up and milling in a week.

Today we found a sawmill at an auction. Just trying to find any info about it we can. It is a Timber Technologies, Inc. Model TT-3b. It has 2 shindawa 575 saws and a bar. It is missing some throttle linkage parts and a chain, but all else appears to be there. Really pretty neat. I am...

Here are a couple pictures.

Very handy info. I am 99% sure this was a saw without the brake from the start. It even says 038 av electronic. With a seperate tag that says super above that. It isn't listed as a quickstop. And operation of the guard,has no feel of being connected to any linkage, but taking the dust cover...

Searching more now...

No I didn't take it off, but I will pull it off tomorrow afternoon and look around. I will try and get some pictures of the saw too.

I just aquired a pretty good shape 038 super electronic saw. I ended up giving $145 for the saw and it runs and cuts great. The question happens to be who has added a chain brake to one of these that didnt originally come with the brake? It appears it would be a bolt on affair possibly. Been...

Well thanks for the replies, not surprisingly the guy flaked out.

Is there anywhere online to find service manuals for these saws for download?

I had thought it looked like it could be, but I am not familiar enough with the tags, and guy wasn't interested in getting more pictures... Also, should I be lucky enough to add this saw to the inventory, i will be sure to get pictures and post what I find out.

That is the plan I had going into this. I mostly cut with a ms290 since my 026 needs a rebuild, but I can't imagine it feeling much slower than the 290... I figure keep it sharp, and it should eat compared to the 290, let alone the poulan pros collecting dust.

I have not met this saw in person, but I am hopeful one of the resident saw gurus can identify anything about it from a simple picture. I am going to have a look at it today, and if the price is right, I am sure it will follow me home. From what I gather regardless if it is an 038, 038S, or...

I have posted to the antique thread as suggested. Just waiting to hear back. Thanks for the idea.

I have a part of a disston saw. Was recommended to post on this thread. I got this bar and gearbox as part of a estate sale. It appears to be a functional usable group of parts. All I have is what you see. My question is what kind of value something like this has, and are the something a...

Does this thing have any real value? I got it as part of a big package deal with an estate sale.

I think it would be a 36" bar, and I posted a picture of the chain possibly showing the pitch. Didn't know if they would be useful

I believe it is off of a disston 2 cylinder chainsaw. Based on the pictures I have seen at least. I figured I would post pictures somewhere people who know what they are looking at can tell me what I have.
