So while we're on the subject of repairs, let me pose a question.
I have a little green saw that I found in the same pile as my 7-10A. It didnt fare quite as well as the Mac. It had water in the crankcase, which gathered in the flywheel side crank bearing due to how it was sitting.
I took it apart and cleaned up with Scotchbrite. There is one small spot where there is fine pitting where the bearing runs. Cant catch with a fingernail, but I can feel it with a sharp pick. Sorry I dont have a picture. Wondered if anyone has had this same thing, and if anyone tried running it with new bearings as is. Was also wondering if there was something I could fill the pits with and get my machinist friend to machine it back smooth.
