Good to know, I just assumed (we know where that gets you...) from the muffler gaskets out now being a different material than the other gaskets that the regular material would not hold up. I guess I can make one up and give it a try and check on it every so often to see how it is holding up...

I think it is quite smart, one more thing you can break while taking it off and have to buy another carb...that is thinking ahead on their part!!

Looking at the IPL manual range for the model 6000s there are 8 IPL iterations for the 14 series, 600014A, B, C, E, F, G K and U. Since this series covers the date range 06/77 through 09/82 then I would guess yours will be in the later end of that date series, figuring late 70s, early 80s...

Homelites are the same way, the only real help in figuring out approximately what date those saws are come from a ledger kept by a shop for close to 50 years with each type of saw, its serial number and date sold. For McCullochs, like Mark said, best guess is to look through the IPLs and find...

Yes, the Super 10-10 (both right hand start and left hand start) use the low filter (pn 66992).

I use Felpro gasket material. You can get it at automotive stores, but usually get a better deal on-line. They come in flat sheets and rolls. Here is an example you can get from AutoZone: AutoZone - Felpro Gasket Material You can get different thicknesses depending on where the gasket is...

Unfortunately the featured is a short one, might have to try back from time to time to see if they get any of the high ones in.

If you look through the 10-10 IPLs you may be able to narrow down the change over. I tried to fit a low filter on my saw and I don't believe it was even wide enough to cover at the base, you might be able to 3D print an adapter. My 10-10s (non-Super) have the high filter: Part number 66774...

That list didn't include the 046 or the plethora of Wildthings that were there too!! :D

Got a family picture of the all of the Husqvarna's I have: Front to back: * 136 (dump find) * 440 (well used store loaner saw) * 55 Rancher (dump find) * 455 Rancher (customer returned to store - said "was a piece of junk") * 272 XPG (dump find) * 2100CD (dump find)

I found a Husky 136 at the dump missing the clutch cover, recoil and has a scored piston and possibly some scoring on the cylinder, but found it worthy to bring home and revive. I figured if anything it could be the "loner" saw when someone comes and asks to borrow one! :D

Here is the IPL diagram showing the clutch drum, here it shows using a .325 rim, but you might be able to find a 3/8lp rim to fit it.

I know it is not a popular idea among log cutters, but wearing panty hose under your pants will keep the ticks from biting you. Using them may help cut down on the amount of Deet or amount of reapplications you might need too.

Awesome, good to hear!!

That is awesome, it is good to be in the right place at the right time with the right equipment and the right friends!! Congrats!!
