Blimey, I guess I have to ask why? I can understand having one in a collection but this is a bit obsessional. 

Yes he absolutely loves them the last I heard he has bought four or five 

since this video was made 

Here’s a photo of 1/3 of his collection of 166’s in 

Sachs Dolmar and McCulloch version 

Yes Dan I had an alert and thought I better have a look

They are lovely saws and pull long bars like a freight train 

there isn’t a lot wrong with this saw only a bit of

carb work probably 

I know one person who’s bidding on anything interesting 

in the big Dolmar saws he also collects Ford escorts 

so he probably won’t stop much below 2K

the other option is a Dolmar CT or a 153 both lovely saws 

but nice too hear from anyone who likes collecting 

Sachs Dolmar and Dolmar

Andy if you need any help let me know but what Dan says stick with the 050 1.3mm narrow kerf a better cut for that saw

but the dcs4300 is just an older version of the ea4300

A new tank isn’t going to break the bank 

this is the most expensive one I could find 

worth fixing up 

if you need a 3/8 spur sprocket for your saw I have some packed away somewhere and I’ve got .325 spur sprockets

as @Stere says if you can find a 3/8 lo pro rim sprocket

you can use a clutch drum from Ea-5000 or ea-6100

or if no joy try your stiga dealer and get a 3/8 lo pro spur 

sprocket for a stiga sp-386 

Thank you sir ,  you’ve got a few saws with wrap handles 

What size handles are you needing

is it single bit or double bit handles

Thank you Andrew. Another dumb question if you have the time,

was the 4300 /421 built on that same chassis as the 460 / 500, I even had two of them

but sold them, it looked like they were, they held a good drop of fuel and oil

for sure.

there not the same chassis but they do share some parts with the 5105 and 6100

Are the Dolmar 460 and 500 saws built on the same chassis.

yes they are 

Very similar on two models there’s definitely some 

Use or copied out of  older Dolmar makita models

If I put any money on it I would go the following way

the stiga CP-466  is based  on the Dolmar PS-460 

the stiga CP-526 is based on the Dolmar PS-500

these models where the red top semi pro versions 

from 12+ yrs ago 

in the next couple of weeks I will take a closer look 

at these models

@wyk

Got 5ltrs of this too winter up machines I won’t be using for a while

I think your right 

This is how it’s set up once you’ve got the top plastics off you’ll see everything much easier

The coil and flywheel are around the same cost both can be bought 

individually £75 -£80 + vat

Yes I did have one great sounding saw  quite lively

but sold it as I didn’t have many spares

And it helped fund a vehicle I got some photos of it

somewhere

There seems to be a distinct lack of Dolmar's in this thread😜

I think one should send one up too @Crocky
