If memory serves me correctly old Gyp was going to replace the piston in his 999 but the danged piston was like 150 bucks .So I'm thinking it's kind of a toss up of which is harder to find parts for ,the big Oleo or the big Solo .
Stick all the parts in a box and remember where you put it and eventually some day when you least expect it the parts will pop up .That's kind of the way it goes most times .

Does anyone know what the piston pin diameter is for an Oleo-Mac 999F.
From what i understand the piston is 56mm in diameter which is exactly the same as the Solo 603.
I am trying to find a replacement piston for the 603 but it has a 12mm wrist pin diameter. I'm hoping the 999F also has a 12mm wrist pin diameter and similar piston dimensions to the 603.

Those air filters are totally standard equipment - quite impressive to see an automotive style air filter on a chainsaw.
The 999F uses a 3 element filter with a removable and washable outer filter element.

Filter reminds me of the HD air filter option on the dolmar 7900 now days.
Was there a standard air filter set up and HD filter option on the 2 you posted above too?
I've only seen a 999 around here and they seemed to weigh a ton.

These Oleo-Mac chainsaws have a serious air filter system. If only Stihl and Husqvarna could make such a decent air filter.
In ways, they look a lot like early Solo chainsaws - 670 -680 and 690- 603 series.

Gypo AKA John Lambert had a 999 that everybody and his brother tinkered with .It was set up as a torquey miller at one time and had plenty of grunt .Big Dave reworked it to gain a little speed which it did .
I mean the thing had some grunt but actually if it would outdo an 066 or a Huskey 2100 it's hard to say .Definately a saw worth acquiring if you could find one .That brand is just something we in these parts are totally ignorant about because they simplely did not exist .

I'm curious as to what the forum members think of the Oleo-Mac 985HD and 999F chainsaws.
How do they compare to other saws in the same engine capacity.
From what i can see the 985HD has a brilliant air filter system and the 999F looks like a nice alternative to a Husqvarna 395 or a Stihl 066.
