Very hard to find the full wrap for the rigid mount saws.

5-10



I'm pretty sure I have another one in the attic but it's not going anywhere.



If we could get enough folks seriously interested, I know of a shop nearby that can do custom tube bending that could possibly reproduce them. I was thinking of steel tubing to make welding the stub a bit easier.

@mortalitool and I would be interested.

 

[astnmacgto]

I would be interested in a few as long as they wouldn't be over the top on price

Great idea-thinking----David

 

[LonestarStihl]

I could be interested at the right price as well

 

[Doug Stevenson]

I would certainly take two, for the 10-10 and the 700. Good idea.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Exactly I'd do one for 10-10 and 700 as well

I will try to get to the tube bender shop next week and see what they come up with.

[mortalitool]

Any news back about the tube bender shop being able to make these up?

 

[heimannm]

Sorry - had to leave the country.

I should be home for a few days week of 29 May and will try to check then. I just found his card again when I got my old Ranger back last week.

Any news on this Mark?

Just today...good news is they made some prototypes to check out. On the plus side, while they don't exactly match the original shape, they look very much like the full wrap on the SP80/81 type saws. On the negative side, they only really match up correctly with the RH start machines since that is what the original came from.



On the 4-10







It will also fit an LH start saw if you have the oldest version of the clutch cover, shown on the right.



But it is a tight fit on the starter and under the clutch cover.





These would be $50 to $75 depending on how many we can get lined up and order at a time, 15+ will get them for $50 each.

Aww darn, that won't work for me[emoji53] I have a newer LH start model, chainbrake and all.

 

[beavis331]

I have a right hand 10-10 tucked away somewhere. Would be interested in one.

Looks good Mark. What size tube are they using? I wonder if they could bend them out of aluminum and tig weld the down part?

 

[heimannm]

Steel tubing was much less expensive and lends itself to a simple brazing operation. I didn't think the weight would be an issue since most folks won't make these saws their primary work saw anyway.

Mark

 

[astnmacgto]

I wonder what the difference in weight is?

By the way Mark, if you can get them widened for left hand start, I'll take 3 at the 50 dollar price, 2 if they end up being 75 each
