Alpina Prof 120 Clutch sprocket

[fiddlin logger]

 

 Hi i'm a new member here, i have an Alpina 120 that i am using for milling, and after quite a few years steady work she needs a new clutch sprocket, and clutch springs and i am having problems sourcing the parts?...any help would be much appreciated....or has the old girl cut her last slab? ....she seems sound in every other way apart from a couple of fins missing from the flywheel, thanks for reading.

Welcome to the board!

Seems to be somewhat rare. Only thing I could suggest is keep your eyes open in the usual used channels. Otherwise, perhaps something else could be hacked on to it, with perhaps a bit of machining? Probably more money than it would be worth, unless you or a good friend are a machinist.

If it were me, and money isn't a huge problem, I'd get something more modern/popular as my daily workhorse, then shelve the Alpina while looking for parts. Then?? Either put it back into production, or do a full restoration, and keep/sell it as a collectors item. Depends on how sentimental you are regarding old machinery. Unless your work is very light, the day will come when you need a saw, and you don't have the parts to make the Alpina run.

Thanks for the reply
the work for this saw is very light. most of what i do is just logging for the house and i have a couple of husky's for that.Reading the other threads probably a Clone saw would be ok for my purposes and a bit more future proof,and probably lighter.

just thought someone here may have had the same problem, and there may be an easy hack with another clutch drum
thanks again
