Thanks. I will get that info. The last 2 clutches I found, one was correct and the others center hole was to large. Both had the same part number stamped on them. I'll get some photos.

The great eBay purchased clutch with the larger center hole is just stripped out. It Figures.

OK I see the differences. I'll post and PM you if I find something or somewhere else.

Couple I got yesterday that looks like they will be parts instead of builders. 77cc 80cc

Thanks, I would appreciate that. The Super EZ AO was certainly a featherweight compared to my first 2 saws, a Homelite reciprocating saw and an old Homelite C51. I envy your passion for saws.

Tear downs done on both. Going to part them.

Had one just like it for years. 24" bar and a darn good running saw.

IT was among 5 or 6 saws that got stolen. Ended up in a pawnshop in columbus. Insurance company would rather pay out than retrieve saw and return.

Couldnt you have filed with police and they picked saws up?

Little 50 took in looked at and sold.

I was just going to part it out. But 2 guys I know wanted it whole for builder.

By the time the saws were located, the person responsible for stealing them had OD on heroine.

So for the cops it was a closed case and they had little to no interest collecting the saws as they werent needed for evidence, and the insurance company had already written check to purchase new saws.

But yes I "could" have filed, the police would have got the saws, and It would be about of month before I would get them back. BUT, I wouldnt keep the insurance check to get new saws, and being in wood cutting season I couldnt afford to wait a month while cops held saws.

Insurance company knew the saws were found too. They were pretty much the same way. They could get the saws if we wanted....but easier and cheaper to write a check

Once the insurance company paid you they owned the stolen saws in event of their recovery. Rarely do they pursue anything as small as a couple chain saws. Handled some Rolex watches one time for a company who paid off as a result of a jewelry store burglary. Also, many vehicles, trailers of all kinds, skid steers, tractors, pickups.
