Time for another Mac 797G build

[Jacob J.]

They're multiplying!:jester:


Quite a few fellows here have the green Dolmars. Seems to be more common than the orange/red SD's of the same model. Probably has to do with the much larger dealer network that Poulan had at that time...

I have the SD version (153) and have been looking for the green version. I can't say which is more attractive, they're both fine-looking saws.

I don't think many of those were sold here. The 100cc and up saw market here seems to have been covered entirely by Homelite, McCulloch, and then the big Stihls (and finally the Husqvarnas). The S-6000 that Norm sent to Lee is the only SD saw of that series that I've seen in my area. To my eye, the red ones look the best, closely followed by the yellow McDolmars and then the green Poul-mars. Wouldn't turn away any of them though.

I've got both. They both look cool, never cut with either of them though! LOL, still looking for a recoil for the 153.

Lee, is that a Gravely peeking around the door? I knew you were a man of impeccable tastes. Ron

I would have keyed in on the hit and miss or the 8 inch rearend. 20 years ago when i was racing that rearend would have been more valuable than the any saw

 

[Bill G]

Of all the high quality builds you have done this one is probably the best looking. TOP NOTCH PERIOD

She is done, Made it's first good cuts today.
Had some issues with the ignition. Seems to
be ok now. Pulls like a freight train.

[hoss]

Great work Lee. What a cool project.

 

[parrisw]

Friggen SWEET!!! If that don't give ya Yellow Fever then I don't know what will.

 

[Eccentric]

That's awesome Lee. Needs at least six more feet of bar (and wood big enough to bury it in) however...

 

[Ambull]

Came out great Lee. I like the chrome mixed in, really looks sharp.

 

[leeha]

Thanks guys,
I really like the way this one came out.

Very nice!! Very sharp looking, and looks like it has plenty of balls to go with it.

 

[Warped5]

Very nice Lee ... top-notch work as always!

She's done. Looks absolutely sweeeeet, At least to me it doe's.
First pic shows the SDC carb which is used on the later
Super 797's. Thats why i went with the all yellow paint and
no black. This one will be labeled Super 797G. It has great spark,
Monsterous compression. All i need to do is add fuel and start.
I'm going to wait a few days for the fuel tank sealer to set up.

Thanks to all who have followed this thread.

Wow that saw is awesome! Killer job!

Brian,

Just think you dug up a thread from over a year ago:msp_ohmy:

I would lay odds Lee has some other builds since then

 

[Arrowhead]

Like always... another awesome job Lee.
I haven't had much time to post lately, I have a teenage son getting close to getting his drivers license and a 79 Camaro build that's been taking all my free time up. My next saw project is the CP70 you bored the jug for me.

Thanks Ed. Ya i know all about cars. They can sure
take a lot of time. Been working on a customers car
for a year now and almost done. Then hopfully i can
get back to some saw resto's myself. Good luck on
the Camaro.
