They don't "need" it , obviously ten series McCulloch saws never had any and it could be argued that they cut 1/3 of the worlds fire wood 20yrs ago , along with Poulan and homelite.
However it does protect the oil tank from violent smacks of broken wood, and it makes sticking the saw easier when moving logs or resting .
Alot of older guys around me (70+) believe if your bucking logs and only have an outside spike ,that it should be removed.

I agree.

So does it go on the same bolt then? I dont think it will reach from other.

I have four 1127 saws original that will be in my sites tomorrow or Tuesday for a look at the wiring. The ones here are in a crate disassembled.

Is ther supposed to be a big washer on that 039 like this in pic inbetween the oil pump and the clutch. Ther wasnt one in box of parts. I thought maybe ther should be so i got one but it dont seem to fit. Clutch drum wont go on far enough with it but will without it.

Those are the most left out parts on the Farm Boss types. That and bar plates or chain bumpers.

The open style clutch require the ‘clutch washer’. Clutch with guide clips don’t.

I’m always pleasantly surprised when the stack of parts works out correct. [emoji57]

Who makes the foam filters for the 020,200,201t's Kenny?

The last and final customer saw I'll be doing. I'll still be doing my own builds from time to time but shop has been shut down to the public. Tired of the headaches and bs of dealing with people. The $3 you make on fixing power equipment ain't worth the time and frustration. Supposed to be getting a coil soon for this thing and away it goes

Yup I agree with you. Not worth the BS and most homeowners power equipment cost more than it’s worth to fix. Designed obsolescence.

Going to see if I can get a little more power out of this older 550.

Solo 70. Looks to be all here. I’ll proudly let you all know if I get it running.

What good oil looks like in a saw

I just pulled the top end off my 550 and it looks similar to that one, but blue.

Dirty on the outside but clean where it counts.

Kind of expensive but I just cut firewood so it should last me awhile.
