I was able to copy my saws and paste my other post on another forum to this one, but only a few of the pics "ones with a thin black border" will showup to view their larger image...
OK, here goes nothing... The photo's are blurred the closer in I got, so I hope they turn out OK on here...
To start with here are some pictures of my C9... You will notice that it has a 36" bar with .404" pitch semi-chisel chain, but unfortunately it only cuts 32/33 inches due to the newer bar meant for the newer saws on an older saw... The C9 has had a new fuel line and filter put into the tank and new line from tank to carb... I also went ahead and rebuilt the carb with a major rebuild kit for the final fuel system repairs and replaced the air filter... Ignition wise I had to put a new plug wire on it and regap the points... Seal wise the only seal that has been replaced was the oil reservoir seal... It has the optional "flat style" muffler on it versus the "straight pipe" setup as well "to help my hearing"... Also some will notice that it has a C7 rewind housing "red in color vs. the green" and fan shroud due to the fact that when I got the saw, it was a parts saw...
This is my C91... It has a 30" bar with semi-chisel .404" pitch chain, but like the C9, it only actually cuts about 26/27 inches... This saw has both the optional rubber padded handlebar and the "flat style" muffler... You can probably notice that the C9 has the original style "green grip" handle... This saw is probably one of the best that I have ever bought off of eBay, due to the fact that all I had to do was put a little gas and oil in it to fire it up and keep it running... I did go ahead and replace the air filter though... I also went ahead and relubed the over running bearings in the starter drive and the sprocket/drum assembly with some nice synthetic grease, but other than relubing and minor clean up, it's all original...
This is my C7... It has a 21 or 22 inch bar on it "can't remember off the top of my head", with .404" pitch semi-chisel chain... It has had all of the fuel system components replaced "like I did the C9" and the carb has been rebuilt along with having the air filter replaced... It "like the C9" has also had the points regapped and a new plug wire installed... This saw "physically wise" is all original except for the bigger bolts on the rewind housing and of course the bar cover... I’ve got plenty of original bar covers, it's just that this one works fine and I can save the original styling covers for the final restorations... You will also notice that it has the "black grip" handlebar found on the C7, C7G, C71, C71G and C72...
This is my C5... It is actually what got me into collecting the C-Series collection... I found this in our sheds one day and found out from my father that it was my grandpa's saw that he used when he was cutting dogwood crossties... It is also the only saw that I have gone this far with the restoration efforts so far on... I have put all new seals, bearings, clutch shoes and sprocket, fuel lines and filter, carb rebuild, new air filter, rewind dogs, coil and points assembly and piston rings into it... I have even done a quick experimental paint job on it to see how the coloring would hold out "it appears to be getting darker instead of slightly lighter like I had originally hoped for"... I used a Duplicolor Light metallic blue on it... It's the closest match I could find at the time... It also has a 21 or 22 inch bar on it with .404" pitch full-chisel chain... When the chain is nice and sharp it will throw shavings out up to a foot long... A very nice chain...
This is my C51... I believe that it has either a 16 or 18 inch bar with the .404" pitch full-chisel chain... All I have done to this saw is replace the fuel line from the tank to carb and rebuilt the carb along with replacing the air filter... I have also like the others replaced the plug wire and regapped the points... It will fire up every time "doesn't matter how long it has been sitting" the first pull... It's actually the only saw that I have that will do this... All of my others require 2 - 4 pulls... You will probably notice that the air filter cover is missing it's original hold down, but other than this it's pretty much all original...
This is my C5/7 combo saw... As you can tell from first glance it is missing the rewind housing and fan shroud... This is due to the fact that the rewind spring broke and I have yet to get another one to replace it with... By C5/7 combo, I am referring to the fact that if you take a C7 crank and put it into the C5 engine, it will make one very torqy saw, this is due to the fact that you are getting a slightly higher compression from the .022" higher dome of the C5 piston, plus you have the longer stroke of the C7 crank... This saw has a 16 or 18" bar with .404" pitch full-chisel chain... It has also had the carb rebuilt, air filter changed and fuel line from the tank to carb replaced... It also has a handle bar "black grip" on it off of one of my C7 parts saws...
This is just a picture of my misc. parts that I have either collected or gotten from my two C7 parts saws... I also have some other "4 I think" extra bars of different lengths that are not pictured...
Also everyone of my saws have new bar nuts and lock washers along with 6 clutch shoes per saw... The basic C-Series saws were only suppost to have 3 "a money saver I guess" and only the gear driven versions would have the 6 shoe setup...
I would like apologize for the long posting and for any pics that don't load correctly, this is only the second time that I have tried this, but my first actually posting pics, so if they don't load correctly, if someone knows how, they are more than welcome to fix them, but it took me litterly hours to make this posting, so I hope it works out OK --- extremely slow internet ---
I hope there is some enjoyment to be had from these pics and if someone wants to, they are more than welcome to print them out for color scheme references or just whatever they may want to do with them
