Joe the small engine man 89 #3 Posted December 20, 2015 will get some pics up very soon and thanks for the help Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #4 Posted December 21, 2015 these are some pics of the saw, but at the moment the saw is in pieces being rebuilt so I know that there isn't anything wrong and so I can use it for cutting and to take to shows. I put it next to one of my stihl saws (321) to show the size difference some more pics soon of the saw in pieces 3 HeadExam, nigel and sten reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe the small engine man 89 #6 Posted December 22, 2015 Wow, that is a hefty saw! I'd like to have one, along with a Lumberjack to do the cutting, lol yeah it is a beast, wouldn't want to use it everyday! 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #7 Posted December 22, 2015 There is a Bolens 8hp one for sale near me, I can imagine how much it weighs, but I bet it will melt through a log 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #8 Posted December 22, 2015 I really like the old big saws, they cut easier because of the weight. defiantly get the bolens saw it will be a beast, a 8hp! my danarm is a 5hp I think and it has so much power the coolest saw I've ever seen is a v8 truck engine being used in a hot saw competition! it was so loud 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #9 Posted December 22, 2015 The 8hp Bolens is 375.00, not enough trees in the state to justify that, especially when I'm looking at doing another 600.00 tire/wheel upgrade soon. I have my sites set on at least on more tractor, maybe two, I have to set some boundaries, lol http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/atq/5341944843.html 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #10 Posted December 23, 2015 I prefer the mac that's next to the bolens the bobcat looks cool too, you have to go with what you want! 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadExam 1,783 #12 Posted December 24, 2015 anyone know where to get parts for a danarm? struggling for parts such as carb kit Was the carb used on any other small engines? Can you cross reference the engine to another machine? Good Luck 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #13 Posted December 30, 2015 the danarm has been put on hold because of all m new projects so will get back to this as soon as I can! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #14 Posted December 31, 2015 anyone know where to get parts for a danarm? struggling for parts such as carb kit When you get around to looking at it again, for Chainsaw parts, I suggest you try Danarm themselves first?. They may still hold spares for it. As for the Carb, Tillotson made them and the HL version is what should be on your machine. The Model number should be stamped on the Body of the Carb. You can order rebuild kits etc from Tillotson via this link- http://www.tillotson.ie/products-parts.php For service and maintaining the Carb, this will be handy if your not familiar- http://www.eccarburetors.com/pdf/HL%20service%20manual.pdf Also, I recall a member here who collects them, Danarmdave is his username I believe?. he may be able to help. 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe the small engine man 89 #15 Posted December 31, 2015 I PM danarmdave but I haven't had a reply yet, thanks for the links will try and order parts. do you have any danarms In your collection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danarmaggedon 2 #16 Posted January 31, 2016 Hi all, I've just acquired the same model Danarm which was my fathers and last used well over 10 years ago. Thanks to info on here (thanks Anglo Traction) and elsewhere I've rebuilt the carb and fuel system (it was left with some fuel in which ate the fuel pipe), tinkered with the ignition and recoil starter and now it fires up and works a treat! Just wanted to say for parts the DDA 110 is exactly the same model as the slightly earlier Canadian Pioneer 620 (not S620). I guess Danarm imported them and badged them as their own. Carb rebuild kit needed for this model is Tillotson RK-114HL. I'm planning on stripping it down and repainting it but I've a couple of others of my fathers I need to sort out first. If anyone has any photos of a DDA110 (not to be confused with the later 110 Manual and Automatic) showing all the original stickers etc. that would be appreciated as most of mine have gone. Anyway thanks again for the info, it helped me for sure! 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #17 Posted February 1, 2016 Glad the previous info helped you. Not much to go on, but this Site has a wealth of info on All Chainsaws if you have a few hours to kill surfing the InterWeb. This link will take you directly to the Spec details of your model (if you don't know them already). ....Image is not very helpful with decals. http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/a2116b63e2416f7a88256b4e0065068f?OpenDocument Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danarmaggedon 2 #18 Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks again Anglo. Yes I did find that site previously, a good source of info! Just to correct what I said before, the Pioneer 620 is not exactly the same as the Danarm DDA110 but is very similar, the grips and covers are slightly different and according to that site the carb is too. I'll post pictures up when I get a chance to take some. Joe, yours is missing a small rectangular metal plate on the hand protecting bar, you can just about see the welds on yours where it was fitted. 1 Joe the small engine man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
