FarmCrest, Super 250.

I got this saw years ago, Never looked at the numbers stamped it to the crankcase until today.:biggrin: #62481 same as one of my Super 250's I checked.
When I got the saw the flywheel cover was replaced, It was yellow. The starter was original light blue. I painted it with the only blue I had at the time.

I wonder was Farmcrest related to Walmart but for farmers

Wow Cliff, you have the most amazing collection of incredibly interesting and desirable saws.

I have a late production 250 (non-Super) that also is stamped 62481 on the cylinder.

I'll be putting it in the Trading Post in a day or two, but I wanted to show it off before I did. I have no idea on value of this saw.

It has spark. One of the bolts that hold the bar / cover on is broken off.

UPS dropped off a nice PM800 powerhead today from Hoss. I'll post a picture after I reinstall the handle bar and put a B & C on it. It will fill the hole left when I give my brother my PM8200. Thanks, Hoss. Ron

 

[PainAndMurphy]

if it's just the bolt that's broken..

Super 250 carb usage

Going thru the 1970 mc carb usage guide SI-29 trying to figure out some carb swap ideas for the super 250. 84050 is the Mac-1 carb used on the s250 and the s550. It has a .687" Venturi. The HL63G was used and it has a .688" Venturi. But at the back of the guide it lists a 68752 Mac carb for the 550/660/795/797. It has the air filter stud for the 550/660, so it could work in the s250. If it has the flow for a 797, than this could be a good carb to use. Anybody have anymore info on it. I have the scanned copy from Bob, I can't tell if any more info has been cut off the bottom of the page, but part numbers would help. It only describes the carb as a service replacement for these models. Thanks.

Attached is Page 29 in it's entirety, not a lot of help.

Funny I was wondering almost the same thing last night. I am not much of a fan of the flat back carb.
Can anyone tell what the Venturi size of hl 87 c from a 1-51

 

[heimannm]

I believe that all of the Tillotson HL carburetors except for the 272 used on the 940 and Welder were the same; .687" venturi and .812" throttle bore.

The 272 has a .875" venturi and 1.000" throttle bore.

This is the oldest but best oiling 125 I have, still pulls this in through wood the full length.
Sorry,Forgot camera on last cutting (Willow 1.80 m diam.)

Thanks for the info.
I am going to convert to the tillotson.

That's how I remember it. Only the 48890 flatback is a bigger bore. I have one on the MC-91/790 and it works well wide open, but idle is a pain. A bit too big as it sits in the saw. A straighter shot at the reeds or on a v4, it might be fine, but the turns in the intake stream weaken the signal a little bit too much at idle.

Hmmm that Willow would be 70.866141732283 inches - nice little stick. Ron

1-72 Fans?

Any love for these old beasts? I understand it's based on a kart engine with a Tilly HL carb and obviously the RH recoil.

That is a fine example, you giving it away?

 

[heimannm]

I have a 1-72, actually it is a pretty nice saw to use. I only wish it had an automatic oiler like the 700 Series saws as I sometimes forget to keep the chain lubricated.

On this particular day I switch from my 066 Stihl to the 1-72 and never stopped smiling.
