This may be slightly off topic but I remember seeing a 090G that had the 137CC piston and cylider mod go for around $1700 on ebay about 6 months ago. I think it was in pretty good condition though. Talk about the ultimat milling saw for big wood.

I have been finding out this saw is worth some money. To bad It's not for sale. It is going to be a fun project.

I just found out a guy down the road has a 041G . That saw also has only seen ice, it was at my locale dealer in for repair. I told them to let me no if he was interested in selling it.

One can never have two many projects:hmm3grin2orange:

I remember reading Chainsaw Lumbermaking and he said the gear drive saws were good especially for big wood. But there could be problems with shortened transmission life due to lack of lube because of gearbox position during milling.

Just had a look in Chainsaw Lumber making and he said he had good experiences milling big wood with an 090G, his only mod was to change the transmission case vent line (an extended elbow and a filter) to prevent gear oil loss. Apparently it'll weep out of a stock dset up and eventually you run the box low enough that the gears are no longer picking up oil... a very bad thing!

Here are those pics I was talking about, it does look a little better, almost like a new saw.

Bob L if you need any more let me no.

Thanks

Unless that's been restored that's likely the best one around anywhere. Amazing condition.

Has not been restored, the owner took care of all his toys.

Cheers Beefie,

Wow, that saw looks like it's hardly been used.

I'll have a think about it - it looks like my new mill design will work on this saw. The current plan in my head for the coupling between the mill rails and the verticals is a bit complicated because I like to use cam locks - how handy are you at making stuff?

Well I was a machinist fore 12+ years. I just don't have the equipment at home to do stuff. I do have friends that have some equipment. Let me no what your thoughts are and I will see if I can get something made.

Excellent! I certainly won't teach you to suck eggs the - I'll just have to give you the principles and you should be able to take it from there.

Cheers
