Dolmar 133

[Fruecrue]

Just received my 133 from @Guido Salvage ,
Thanks Gary!
Showed up fast, well packaged and as described.

I can tell already that this is going to be a favorite.
Going to take a bit to get running again.

The good:
Looks low hour, dirty and grime from sitting but doesn’t have the caked in crap and wounds of a battle worn saw.
Cylinder and piston so far look good, compression feels good.
Saw has spark.
Lots and lots of magnesium.

The bad:
Parts availability.
Missing parts- so far here is the list,
Fuel cap, air filter, air filter cover, bar nuts, recoil screws, top cover screws.
Chain brake parts.
Dry rot- fuel line shattered when I touched it.

All in all it’s just the kind of project I like, can’t wait to tear into it.
My experience is mostly Stihl saws, this if my first Dolmar, I’ve only had one across the bench before but all I did was close the bar rails and dress it, saw ran great but wouldn’t hold he chain.
So far I’m seeing similarities to a 2 series Husqvarna.
I’ll get it out to the shop for some pics as soon as I can.

Also got an offer I couldn’t refuse on a bar and chain from @psuiewalsh
Thanks Keith!
That should show up by Friday, might just have to try it on before I tear the saw down any.

Which reminds me, I will also need a .404 rim sprocket, anyone know if they are a standard size?

 

[psuiewalsh]

I probably had a rim here somewhere. I think it was a regular large rim. Did you confirm it has a rim drum? Also is Cassadaga Edge & Engine still selling dolmar out your way? If not @166 is great to deal with.

 

[Fruecrue]

It does have a rim sprocket, shouldn’t be too hard to source one, I’ll try some others on it to make sure I order the right spline size.
Never heard of Cassadaga edge & engine, haven’t been through there in a decade or so.

I owe another thank you to @shorthunter ,
Thanks for providing me with the parts manual!

Seems the starter cover screws as well as two for the top cover are M5x25 and other top cover screw is m25x40. Both are common to stihl saws, should have plenty in the ol’ parts bin.

Fuel cap is common to many saws, still available.

Still working on the rest.

 

[psuiewalsh]

Stihl screws may not fit the top cover cutouts. Metric cap heads might fit better.

 

[Fruecrue]

Ordered the right screws for top cover as well as several other needed parts.
Found seals as well for about $20 shipped at another vendor.
Seen an air filter cover on ebay...

 

[psuiewalsh]

Hope your order comes on time. They are 40 minutes from my house and the website kept moving the ship date out to over 2 weeks. I ended up cancelling the order. Went to my husky dealer and had the parts in 2 days. This was for a redmax blower.

I may have the parts you need. If you are a patient person, you can send me a list.

Thanks, so far I think I’m doing pretty well.
Air filter cover, bar nuts and chain brake parts still on the list.

When was your order? Recent?

 

[Guido Salvage]

Glad it got there safely, I have owned two of these saws and both were missing about the same parts. Post up a video once it is up and running. I have 3 more Sachs Dolmar builders in the Trading Post if someone wants to try their hand.

The brake components bring a premium. If you find a decent deal, jump on it

Gotta throw in a bottom pic

 

[Fruecrue]

Had some M10x1 nuts, they’ll do for now.

If you happen to stumble across two filter covers let me know? I am in need of one.

 

[psuiewalsh]

There are some on eBay but the retainer knobs are missing

 

[Fruecrue]

Bar arrived yesterday.
Ordered a NOS filter cover from eBay.
@Redfin , there is one more, $28, I can post a link if needed.
Working on the cover knob next...
Chain brake parts are elusive.
