When cutting your own, what material and what thickness is preferred? I have gasket material that I use to make NLA tractor gaskets with. I just do not want to choose the wrong gasket material for a saw. A tractor can leak a little oil and be fine. If a saw sucks air, you have got problems...

There are very few gaskets you have to cut for yourself if you search a bit. The easiest place to find them may be Randy Duncan, but his are often the most expensive.

Maybe the only one that is really hard to find is the 10 Series fuel tank gasket for the models with the take apart tanks. You can cut a small strip off the end of a roll of gasket material to make your own, seal the edges with threebond or similar.

Bob Johnson in NY is a good source, PM if you need his phone number. Discount Marine in Bark River, MI http://discount-marine-parts.com/ is a good source as well.

e-bay will turn up most, usually they are not so expensive if you consider your time to have any value. Lately there has been an e-bay seller making modern reproductions of the more common ones for the large frame saws and selling them 5 or 10 at a time.

Well known e-bay seller customshainsawparts has quite a few as well.

I have been collecting saws and parts for a few years so I have a pretty good stock of the more common ones stored in some old drawing files, seems a pretty good way to keep them organized.

I keep several different thicknesses of gasket material in another drawer as a back up plan but haven't had to cut a gasket for a couple of years.

I have bought from both Randy and custom chainsaw parts. I do not think I have dealt with Bob yet, so I will keep him in mind. Thanks!

I use the gray 1/32" material at any auto parts store. Mark is correct though, most the gaskets are readily available.

Working on a deal for this pile.

Have one in place for the SP81.

What would be the worth of the balance of the pile? Assume they all need the usual fuel system and ignition refurb.

I would give 15 for the 1-10 & 3-10. 50 for the sp60 70 70. 75 for the sp81. There are alot of possible bad engine mounts sitting there.

There's a lot of nice saw pics here already. How about some action vids with results.

That cedar dust gets everywhere don't it! We milled a bunch of Cedar and everything within 200 feet was pink!

Neat stuff Joey, looks like the woodshed was just out of the water at high tide.

My new "woodshed" isn't nearly so nice, but with a tarp thrown over the top it does help keep the wood dry.

How do I gather the firewood?

I fired up my 380 last night. Runs like a top and will idle at very low rpm. I am impressed with it. I will post some pics sometime after I get the bar cleaned up. I can hardly wait to stick it in some wood!

Joey, I can smell that cedar just from your pictures. Nice mix - McCullochs and red cedar. Ron
