XP oil is a 'synthetic blend'. At least he's not running the regular dino oil.

Norm knows I'm no stranger to working on dirty saws. That 288XP will be nothing next to this Homelite 750 that I fixed up for our friend John.

After cleaning up this bugger in a tub of diesel, I ended up with a coffee can full of mud/pitch/dog hair/diesel paste......AFTER I
'd drained most of the diesel off. Yucka....

I think if somebody brought me a saw that dirty she had better be good looking and it be from her recently deceased husband.

Dat one aint' nothin' compared to some.
I'd rekon most was just from storage.

I got one that had so much white death the only thing in real good shape were the mounts.
Ok I did get my monies worth.

Could be like the local tractor guru. The biggest farmer in the county kept bring him tractors covered with manure. He told him that he charged $50 an hour whether it was mechanicing or cleaning crap. Guess what, they started coming in clean.

LOL. John isn't my "type".............but he did give me my McCulloch SP-81 (see my avatar) in exchange for getting his 750 squared away. We both did well.

That mess on/in this 750 was EVERYWHERE except inside the engine. The pitch/dog hair mixture was almost like fiberglass cloth and resin. Nasty stuff....

Yes Aaron I heard the heckling LOL! I still like the long bar for limbing, hate having to bend over to cut. But dam that 36 is a bit much! Shane I love the post count buddy:msp_biggrin: Sachsmo and zero junk great to see ya. Thanks to Aaron that dirty beast 750 sparkles and runs now:msp_biggrin: Fell this tree on Bohan Dillon road in Cazadero CA in 1986. Pictured is Brian Parmeter, who is one hell of a faller, like his dad Will who fell the tree. John is Brians older brother, and owns the saw now. The a pic John topping a fir, he was over a 100 feet up, a job we did 4-5 years ago.

G'day gentlmen, just droped in to say howdy, its great to see this thread is going strong and still generates interest.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Neil and great to see you my friend!

 

[Big_Wood]

hay Norm and Aaron. if you guys are interested go on youtube and type in 70's logging. my buddy skadill (todd) uploaded a vid of marcel who is a long time family friend. don't mean to throw off the thread but there is a 2100 in that vid. i have a few vids like that from the 60's to early 90's and more to come as marcel transfers them all over to discs. marcel and my grandfather fell tree's from the early 60's right up to retirement together. my grandfather ran all the camps up in the area where i live. i like watching all these old videos. i'm gonna get a nice one all together in to one disc. marcel has 300 tapes of just logging videos. i have a few but i've asked marcel to group them all into one disc. he said he will and he's gonna name it "A toast to the loggers of B.C". i will try get a copy to you guys if you are interested

 

[Eccentric]

Damn right we're interested Shane.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Shane I'm in! Love a copy! I have seen a few Marcel vids on you tube. Very impressive. I love those old videos too! And books I collect the books and pictures.

 

[metalspec]

I would love to get in on a copy of that too Shane! I would gladly pay for it too! I love old videos of these old saws in their prime, doing what they were made to do!
