Want to Trade Big Husqvarna saws for Alpina and/or McCulloch saws

[Jacob J.]

Hey Guys-

I'm looking for more larger Alpina chainsaws and newer Alpinas. I'm also looking for a decent McCulloch Promac 72, which is a newer Italian made model. I have cash and also recently rebuilt Husqvarna 3120 and 385 saws to trade. Pictures coming soon of both.Thanks!

Yessir, I'm interested. I'm on the coast by Newport.

Okay I was just there at Beverly Beach a few days ago lol! Let me get some pictures and compression check. It's a very well built saw but hard as heck finding parts for it. I remember compression is super strong and it screams. Has some minor cosmetic issues.

We do a lot of tree service work at Beverly Beach, and I fell some hazard trees there just last November. I think I'll be going up there again in May to take out a few more.

So here's what I noticed with the saw. Clutch cover damaged, missing one bar stud, and the kill switch lever is broken, but does work. Starter cover has some damage, handle bar has some tape wrapped on it. Also it will probably need a new carburetor kit and possibly lines. It's been sitting in my shop for awhile. Last time I started it was last summer and it fired right up. That being said shoot me a fair offer.

Yes definitely, seem to be very well built. That's the first one I've ever come across. I would have kept it and fixed it up, but it was hard finding parts for it.

What model Alpina is this? I'm asking because I was just given a saw very similar to this but with an orange clutch cover. No markings on the exterior besides the obvious ALPINA but I can see the faint outline of a missing decal that said "TIMBER" on this side.

If it has the orange clutch cover, it's likely the 120. Those were sold a lot more here than the 90. The price difference wasn't much.

Thanks Jacob J.
I have to correct my first description. Now that I'm back home from work, I looked at the sticker shadow and it says "Forest" on the upper part of the clutch cover, not TIMBER.
Age make memory work harder.
BTW, have you any sources for parts? My first interest is in replacing old rubber mounts.

 

[Jacob J.]

No sources for parts that I'm aware of, other than buying used saws and carcasses when you can. These all went off the production line in the early 80's and new parts have been NLA for 30 years. Even the dealers who had NOS inventory are pretty much long gone.

That's a big BUMMER. Well, good to know what to expect. I'll be keeping a lookout as I usually do. If I find other Alpina's I may contact you down the road to let you know if you're interested. I'm up the coast from you in the Olympic Peninsula but I sometimes travel as far south as Coos Bay.
