Nice job! I like the sound of that saw, kind of like music to my ears.
OK Brad, now you need to bolt 2 of 'em up together on a big double-ended bar.

Just wondering how many hours did you put into this rebuild?
stihlboy
Guess who's back
i think he told me around 14 im not sure though cuz he worked on it today for over 5 hours
my adhd would have had me bouncing off the wall at hour 4

I'm guessing somewhere around 20. I kind of lost track after a while.
These are the very first cuts made with it, so a little tuning was in order on the high end. It's still a little rich I think. I'd rather be safe than sorry with these old things.

These were the craziest noodles I've ever seen! I'm talking 9/16" chain, no sprocket cover, and nearly all three feet of bar buried in wood. I bet some curlies were a couple feet long!

That thing is cool. Definitely wouldn't want to go cutting firewood all day with it.

I liked those noodles. I don't think that Dean has ever tried that with any of his DA-211 saws.
Time to breathe some new life into this thread. I've still not messed with the 2nd and 3rd saw. But I finally found a replacement front plate for this first one. I've got it pulled back apart to replace it, and to paint everything. I just got started on it tonight, so not much progress yet. The biggest part will be getting everything ready for primer.
This is all the farther I have to get into the engine. The mufflers had to come off to be painted.
This is the broken front plate that's being replaced. This large piece holds the front crank bearings, yes there are two of them, and bolts onto the front of the crankcase. The replacement is in the parts washer.
All of these parts must be painted.
These are all the loose parts that will not require painting.
If it rains tomorrow, I hope to make some real good progress. If it's not, I may be out cutting wood with Nik and Andre

leave the paint! Chrome it all !
The problem was finding the right color of silver paint that didn't look like chrome
I'm trying, without luck, to source new crank seals for these saws. I've checked with both Discount Marine where I bought the coils, and a local bearing supplier. Neither was able to help me. I was hoping maybe one of you guys would be able to. Here are the details.
PN 211-103
ID .7865" (crankshaft)
OD 1.2535" (housing)
Thickness .240" (approxiamately)

You try Grubbs Marine in Pa? They have been a source for antique Merc parts for the out board community for years.

I posted a bunch of details a while back at another place. You may have to have a user ID and log in.

Thanks Sean. Is it typical to have a .005" interference fit on the seal lip?

Up to 4" shaft is .003" +/- per National, w/ a note saying "Tolerances greater than those shown should be used only if agreed upon between user and supplier"...
