Traded some saw work out for this ole girl.   :) Piston and cylinder are good.

Unfortunately it has a catastrophic failure right now unless someone has a 6900, 7700, or 8500 case half.

Did you get your 8500 running yet?    Nice old saw and was just wondering how you were doing with it.

No, I thought I had a crank case found for it at one time, but it didn't work out. I look at a lot of resources daily, keeping my eyes out for a crank case. It may take a while to find one, but it aint eatin nothin while it waits. :)

If you can't find a crank case, would you like to sell the piston/cylinder or that power head?
