Nice saw. Is cylinder marked KS and is carb marked 87, no decompression, if so you scored the hot rod. Mahle ones with 120 carb are still nice saws, you win either way. The muffler has a broken cylinder mounting bolt, easy fix. Those tabs on muffler plate can crack, if you put a washer over them not so likely to break, takes away form the look.I did "research" after I made the deal and that's what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation. I am pretty sure it's original. That may even be the original bar. I bought it from the second owner who bought it from his neighbor who was in his 70's and had trouble pulling it over. I think it has done a decent amount of work, but not an excessive amount of work. The second owner used it lightly but regularly over the years, he said.
Unfortunately it will have the plastic clutch cover (I don't know, as wifey didn't send me a pic of that side and I will not ask..).
I would not screw with an original factory hotrod. It is best left alone, IMO. I hope the muffler stud is not too problematic...
Just large enough to cover plate under bolt head. Vibration may cause them to crack, seen several crack at bolt hole from side to side, where bolts attach plate to case. Saw needs a rewind screw from picture, but man is that saw going to clean up nice. Top cover looks great, those tend to burn above muffler, a piece of heat tape with help prevent that. Those are one of my favorite saws, again nice!good info re: muffler
fairly big washers on the plate to cover the area which could crack, I presume?
I will have a look at the thing when I get home to see what I really have. I wont know for sure what shape it is in and what it is until I have a look...
thanks for the help/info guys!
No big trees in alberta. Its got a bumper thing on it, you dont see to many but they are out there. Fer cutting wheat,,How come there are no felling dogs on the saw?
