DOLMAR/MAKITA The Official Sachs Dolmar Dolmar Makita Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

Here’s the latest from my shop. This is 143 #3 to roll out. This saw was completely built from new parts. Even the screws (except for two) are new. Probably the most significant part has to be the Euro spec muffler ! I have @Shane¹ to thank for that. For now, it’s never been gassed, the NEW Tillotson carb is still a few weeks out. “She’s a beaut Clark”! View attachment 376723View attachment 376724View attachment 376725View attachment 376726

That's a beautiful piece of dolmar history glad I could add a piece to this fine piece of artwork. Good work Jim that is a really nice saw!

Very fine job done, Jim!
That 143 of yours really is a beauty!

Thanks Horst, I couldn’t believe it when Shane came up with that muffler. Now that makes it look as cool as yours. I still can’t believe it.

Mufflers are like ghosts for these but I couldn't waste that nice of a muffler on one of my projects when Jim had that beauty needing a muffler. Thank you @av8or3 for the nice items too!

Got some new toy at my place:



A DOLMAR PS-6000i of 2001 as a special edition "Classic Edition".
Runs fine, needs a little cleaning work an a fresh set of decals and perhaps a new bar.
Found her a few minutes drive away in a nearby village.

Unexpected close by personal pickups tend to turn out best, I got my PS-3400 like that, and my second PS-7900, and a bit of a drive away my first PS-7900 & PS-6100CE.

Was looking over some 166 parts today and came across this casting date. Many in the know say the 166 didn’t get here until the mid eighties.

Nice!

Is anyone able to identify this saw from the crankcase? I cannot find an ID tag or even a part number anywhere on this thing.

I guess I didn’t look hard enough, found a few on eBay just like it. PS-510 I believe.

Or a 5100 or 5105.

AFAIK production started in 1982 and since the main market for such huge saws is north america, I wouldn't assume
they waited some years before shipping into the US.

This is a crankcase for PS-4600, PS-5000, PS-5100 and PS-5105 but not for PS-510,
although it would fit the latter.
On your last two pics, there are the letters "Mg" for magnesium visible. The semi-pro
models with a 3-digit model designation such as PS-460, PS-500 and PS-510
had a cheaper and slightly heavier aluminium "Al" casted crankcase.

Are those Mg and Al the same and swap between? I've seen some PS-460 very cheap and consider building a 5100 myself.

 

[old_sir_henry]

As far as I know both are identical except for the metal alloy

My little sach dolmar with a debarker

 

[FATBOY2017]

I was trying to order a couple of short circuit switches, ( on off switch) for 430 -520, 115, 6000i etc, I'm told NLA,
I tried part number 965 605 400 and 957 605 112, can anybody offer an alternative part number or replacement idea's?
Thank you in advance
