OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Wanted Canadien 270 chain saw

Hi all , I am looking for a spur sprocket clutch drum for a Canadien 270 chain saw
The part number is : Sabre N215 B7 And the chain pitch is 404 , if anyone can help
Thanks , David .

sorry can't on that 61-62 95cc chainsaw but the Canadien PNs was 270645 for the 7 tooth sproket and 270653 for 8 tooth sprocket.

Thanks AVB for the actual part number , here's hoping I will be able to pick one up , 👌👌👌

G'day all,
The IPL for this saw can be downloaded gratis from https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/u...name/canadien%20PM%20175%20270%20271.pdf

As far as the sprocket goes, it looks like GB Forestry here in Oz still list the 7 tooth .404 version under Stock Code CN580-B7N; http://www.gbforestry.com.au/store/...-spur-drive---7-tooth-404-pitch-2-detail
That took a fair bit of finding, as the saw make isn't listed on the index page!
GB Forestry are a wholesaler, so you'll need to order the part through one of their dealers.

The Canadiens were one of the better saws of their day, and were imported to Oz by Mobilco Ltd in the 1960s. Their agency ended in around 1969, when Skil Tools bought the chainsaw division of Power Machinery of Vancouver, BC.

Thank you so much for this info Gadge , very much appreciated , I Know I was searching the net for ages but getting nowhere , I will give them a call in the morning , thanks also for the info about the chainsaw , it's great to be able to share this info , many thanks again , David ,

Just a quick note Gadge , had success , there is a sprocket in the mail now , he has 93 Left now ,

G'day David_M,
In all truth, I was a bit amazed that this part was still available here, for such an old saw!

My family had an Outdoor Power Equipment business in Northern Vic, that had a Mobilco dealership in the 1970s [until they closed down in 1976], and even then, the Canadien parts we could get were aftermarket gear like Tillotson carby parts, and bar/chain/sprocket stuff.

Thanks Gadge for more great info , well sprocket arrived here in the mail today , I'm one happy camper now , 🙌🙌🙌

G'day again David_M,

A couple of items that may be of interest to you;
A 1962 ad for that saw is on this page; https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/14635385

A 38 min 'timelapse' video of a rebuild/restore on one of these saws; he does make one avoidable error; in busting the carby/barrel insulator, but fortunately has the capability to reproduce that item;

BTW, be sure to put a dab of grease, or a couple of drops of engine oil, on the needle roller bearing inside the clutch/sprocket unit, when reassembling it.

Well Gadge this is more great info , Check out the price of them back then , that would have been a couple of months pay , loved the strip down video , am going to have to watch that a few more times ,The one i have here hasnt done much work , its been wrapped up and left in the shed , when we got it we made up a fuel mix of 20:1 and 3rd pull it started , god know how long ago since it was started up , i will have to get some pictures and get them posted , so many thanks again ,

Here is a couple of pictures of my Canadien 270
