Shindaiwa 757 who other than me

Needs pistons and cylinders for these saws? Maybe our benefactor site owner could look into if there was enough interest.

Enough interest? To do what?

Ordering a truckload from China?

Google alibaba site.
I doubt that there were too many of that model sold from Shindaiwa.

I dunno they turn up.on CL and eBay pretty regular. I have two( or most of two). They're like Alpina was. Lot of market penetration in certain areas none in others.

Aftermarket piston on chainsawr for 25 bucks.

I think the 25 buck aftermarket ones are made in a mud hut in somewhereistan.
The OEM is spendy and usually out of stock.

I understand... I'm crazy cheap.... Anything I can't ride doesn't get much money...

I would venture your jug will clean up. Shindaiwa castings are first rate.

I put a Golf piston into a 757 nearly 10 years ago. It's still going.

I have used Golf pistons in other applications as well without issue.

They are $25. OEM is $60. If your jug cleans up nice, buy OEM. If it looks real rough, throw a $25 piston in it and run it.
