Shindaiwa saws

[singinwoodwackr]

I’m not finding much on these older models. I picked up a bunch of nos and used parts along with old Husky stuff today
mainly 300/360, 488, 577, 680, 750
lots of plastic, cylinders, pistons cases tanks, large boxes of small misc parts.
They don’t have pt#s on anything which will make ID interesting on stuff that isn’t otherwise labeled.

any help with sources will be appreciated, thanks

Any 266xp pistons?

I will look for any extras, however.

Was worth an ask anyway
Piston is all I really need for mine, besides a new seal kit of course

I do have a bunch of the thin rings for that version of the 266, will need to dig around for the regular ones.
Somewhere in all those boxes

Good, cuz I now have a lot of parts, lol
the problem is going to be figuring out what is what as there are no pt#s on the Shindaiwa stuff.

Wish I could help ya out on that, but really have no clue. Back when I was parting saws on feebay I would sometimes look at various models and compare my parts to theirs. 90% of the time I was right, once in awhile get a return. Good luck

I got all this stuff to have a project…retired so get bored. Guy had a saw shop for decades…retired 15yrs ago but kept a big pile of parts. Now he just wanted it gone. All the 2100 stuff will find good homes, I’m sure. A box of mainly 61 stuff including a nice cyl And case will find a home. I have a 61 so don’t need all those pts. I need 266xp stuff to eventually build one.

kinda fun going through it all

Anyone seen a model 750? I can’t find anything and even Benson is stumped so far. I know they exist i've found a 757 but not a 750.

 

[singinwoodwackr]

So, the model 750 is 91-92 and even Shindaiwa customer service doesn't have much info on it. Crazy

 

[singinwoodwackr]

So, one mystery solved. The 750 was part of a prototype program to compete with Stihl’s 044 and the Husky 26x platforms. the results became the production 757 saw. 73cc and similar weight category.
I now have the remnants of that program carried out by 12 US dealers In 1991. Pretty cool…the folks at Shindaiwa US had never even heard of the thing but now they are wanting more info and pics, lol
stay tuned…

I’m looking for a fuel tank/ rear handle assembly for a Shindaiwa 575 or 695. The 575 and 695 were magnesium and had the same part number. The metal tanks were prone to cracking or braking at the top air filter support. Thanks!

The only 575 specific stuff I have is the crankcase. (Orange one in center) There may well be misc parts in the 3 parts boxes, however, just need pt#s to check.
I do have a nos mag tank but no idea what it goes to...no numbers on it.
The 577 tank seems to fit the 575 as do the top covers. Tank is plastic

the 22157 is a model 488 designation.

 

[singinwoodwackr]

I think the mag tank is for a 360

Do you happen to have one of those ugly heavy duty air filter setups for a 488? Part # 99909-488p. I’d be interested if you do.

nope. don't have that kit...have a pile of filters for the 680/550 though they don't fit the other saws as far as I can see.

You could send an inquiry to the Novice Lumberjack on YouTube? I guess he may know a bit about the Shindy saws from a couple of vids he posted. I dunno? Shot in the dark maybe...

Ha, he's pretty crazy. some good vids on the 757, however.
