XL Mini Drill Conversion

[MI Old Saw]

Picked up an Australian Atom drill attachment a month or so back.  It came to me with 1/4 pitch drive, and the company was kind enough to respond to my request for parts info, and send me the 3/8 conversion components.  

The XL Mini is what I have come to learn is a US built export model.  I found this one in England.  This past week I was finally able to nab an NOS full wrap handle and West Coast EZ Muffler.  

Like most of my toys, I really have no practical use for this thing, but I have been putting 1/2" holes in everything that can't run from me.  I'll have to work on making up a video if I can ever find some time to myself, while it's still daylight.

West Coast Muffler add as well

So that's a West Coast muffler? Every SEZ we sold back in the 80's had that muffler and I'm in KS. Maybe it was the only muffler offered at the time?

Has your muffler had the mod done that spaces the shield out from the cap?

I could very well be wrong…for the most part I have ignored EZ’s because they are everywhere I look. But after quizzing a few collectors on their West Coast, full wrap EZ’s, it became very clear that package always includes this muffler.

It took me a while to find the muffler. I have seen at least 5 types of EZ muffler, and only the export reed muffler trumps this in apprent scarcity, but again, only from what I have seen.

Just this week I did find 3 non-wrap saws wearing this muffler, and each were in the SouthWest. However, I can still count on 1 and a half hands, how many I have seen in my time looking. I grabbed the first one I could.
