Well the Mac 250 is pretty well done now! Found a bronze bushing for the clutch drum and finished up the bar and chain conversion. All spins freely and oils and adjusts as expected. All that is left is to figure out a grommet for the carb adjustment. Should hit wood tomorrow [emoji16]. Video coming for sure. Also probably going to pick up a 36" to complement the saw as well tomorrow. The 20 just looks too short on it if you ask me.

They powerhead looks about as long as the bar in the photo.

Do yall have a Tractor Supply up your way, they carry some grommets. Not sure what size you need and what size they carry.

If it's the hole above the starter handle, looks like the size of a brake shoe adjustment plug on the backing plate.

It is, and thank you for the excellent idea! Will have to check on dimensions, but I may be able to find one that will work! Even easier than what I was thinking of doing.

See why I need a bigger bar! The proportions just don't match up.

I drove through Texas and never seen a tree big enough for 6 foot bar
Hell I have no idea how anyone was ever hung
well a hangman's gallow

Are you overcompensating ? nevermind

You ever been through east Texas? There are some monster trees out that way, right close to the state line of Louisiana. But they are usually in fields or old home places etc. not many out in the wild anywhere other than parks or reserves, and that's anywhere in the south.

I just kept my eyes peeled on eBay and got the right grommet. They pretty much all used the same one on those style saws as log as it was a tillotson carb.

Well first off that kinda talk will get you banned on this site...who really neeeeeds any of this stuff? That's messed up man [emoji23]

And I actually used to have a picture from our anniversary at the beginning of the month but it seems to have disappeared from my phone.

I'll get a picture of a local hanging tree for you when I can though.

This is just a stock internet photo. I'll get a better one next chance I get.

I worked out a deal for some saws for $135
1. Pro Mac 10-10
2. Poulan 245a
3. Stihl 028 super (scored piston)
4. Stihl 036 (scored piston)
5. Stihl 044 ( case and tank only)
6. Stihl 044 (case, tank and cylinder) piston has a hole in skirt. Cylinder may be okay.
Is this a good deal?
