Any idea what model the little Sears saw sitting on top of the larger one is? The guy that I bought it off of said he tried to start it but couldn't get it to run. It helps to put gas in it.:msp_wink: Runs like a top.

I guess they got caught up in the excitement:biggrin: U.S. News - Oops! FBI uses chain saw on wrong door

This saw will hit and run a second or two and then die. I've checked out the fuel system and ruled that out by swapping carbs with another known good running saw. It just seems like the timing is off somehow. It backfires violently sometimes when pulling it over and sucks the rope back into...

I needed to exchange the clutch between my 750 and a parts saw that had one that was in very good condition. I decided to try the parts saw first and it was a good thing. That clutch is TIGHT! I didn't have the Homelite clutch tool so I tried the old punch and hammer routine. It didn't budge...

Was wondering if anyone had an idea about what vintage this 6-pack of Homelite oil is. There is no Zip Code in the address so I assume that it may be 1963 or earlier?

I mentioned to my wife that I wished I didn't have to work this last Saturday so that I could go to this auction. It was at the home of one of the oldest chainsaw dealers in Springfield. I was surprised when I started getting text messages from her with pictures of the items at the auction...

Trying to figure out how to remove the round goose medallion on one of my old McCulloch's. I'm trying to swap it into another housing. It fits so tight in the old housing that you can't even get a razor blade between the housing and the edge of the medallion. I've tried heating it up assuming...

Found this tach in one of my tool and equipment magazines. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with one of these. Supposed to work either wirelessly or with the included pickup. The specs and features look fairly good. Not sure about the update rate though. Electronic Specialties Inc...

I recently got a Olympyk 962 chainsaw and boy is it hard to pull over. It doesn't have a decompression valve as it is an early model (1997). Fortunately it doesn't take many revolutions for it to catch and fire up. It runs fantastic with a surprising amount of power for it's size. I...

I recently got an early model Super XL-12. The fuel tank was varnished up real bad inside so i decided to take it apart and clean it. The fuel line was just a strip of black tar inside of the tank.:dizzy: It has a hole which appears to be for a molded fuel line at the top of the tank and also...

I picked up a Stihl 011AVT a few days ago and the throttle cable is broken. I went to one of the local Stihl dealers and got a replacement cable. It seems too long. I suspect that it isn't for a top handle model since by the pictures that I've found, the trigger is closer to the carb on a top...

Bought an XP-1020 at an auction last week along with 4 other saws. The carburetor was loose and after checking it out and it looks like it may only need a couple of gaskets and some adjustments. I was wondering if anyone knows the correct way for the idle needle and spring to be installed in...

Was wanting to remove the flywheel from a Jonsered 361. It has two blind holes that don't have threads. Are there any tricks to remove it? I though about tapping the holes and using a puller but the holes are pretty small so I don't know if the bolts will have enough bite to remove the flywheel...

Does anyone know what the filing angles should be for an Oregon Type 61 .404 chain? Does it take a 7/32 file?

I've got about 50 rounds of white oak 16" to 24" in diameter. I don't own a splitter and usually rent a 22 ton from our local rental store. Do you think that it can handle splitting rounds that big? It worked good splitting 10" to 16" elm the last time that I rented one from them.

Picked this up at a garage sale the other day. Added gas and it started right up and runs good. My guess is a Mcculloch 33 but I thought I'd ask the pros to refine my guess. It looks like the emblem on the right side was originally red but was painted over. Would it be worthwhile to restore...

From what I've found out so far, everybody and his dog seems to have sold a version of this saw. My best guess is a Model 36 since it has a 1/4" pitch sprocket. The serial number on the handle is 04083. I was wondering if I would have to get a sprocket cover specific for this model or if some...

We have a large high pressure gas line going across the front of our property and it is in the process of being replaced by a new 16" line. They said that they had to remove two of our shortleaf pine trees that had been planted over the line about 30 years ago. Well today they decided to...

I've got a shortleaf pine that died a year ago standing in my back yard. Is this worth while to use as firewood? I wouldn't normally consider it but it is a 100 ft trip from the tree to the woodpile.:laugh:

I recently traded for a bunch of NOS Homelite bars and trying to identify one part number. It is GW 20501. Wondering if anyone knows what saws it fits. Thanks Here is a pic.
