USMC615 pro mac 700 raffle saw

[Chainsaw Jim]

I have the cylinder done and ready for reassembly.

The casting was a little rough on it.

All cleaned up.

I also polished the transfer dividers to prevent the plating from peeling off like the original. I looked at another used pm700 cylinder the other day and it also had that same problem with the chrome chipping away at the transfer.

Nice work!

Nice work!

The videos he has done of vintage saws made me a believer in Jim's ways with these older saws. I wouldn't send an old powerhead to anyone else!

What’s going on now is great. I understand fully things like this project takes time. I know they’re crazy strong saws...and I’ve heard and read as well, Jim, is the man to go to. And ported, tricked out...Jim is the one to do them! I’m looking forward to this gentlemen.

[TreeLife]

Very exciting, I cant wait to see it rip once again.

How’s this one coming Jim?

I’m looking forward to a video or two.
I love the way the old macs sound

The saw is done to my knowledge, I know Jim has been very busy.

Story of my life......I get it.

Ive donated some not so easy to find and not so cheap parts for this saw. Id kinda like to know whats going on too.

 

[TreeLife]

This is it done, as far as it's current status whether it has gone home or not is unknown to me

More parts to swap out! Now it's the darn coil. I thought I had an extra but I do not. There isn't much left on this thing that hasn't been replaced. The carb is still original, so are the handlebars.

Dont forget a coil from a 600 mcblock is the same. You just have to shorten the wire.

Looks good Jim

I need a cylinder for a seven series to hack-up this winter. My SP is yet untouched, no love

Were you able to track down a coil Jim?

I have a friend who is going to send one out asap.
