[turtle561]

norm- yeah i guess it's a waiting game for parts to come along on the street. the auction prices are bonkers for any of the covers i need. just have to keep a lookout.thanks
i saw one in for repairs at a shop too and tried to buy it, but just got a grin.lol

ductape-i was afraid of this:msp_rolleyes:

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I will ask around. Yeah as far as guy's parting with saw's. Same here good luck! I know a local guy has four or five, and doesn't fall timber anymore. He wont part with em. Do you have somebody that can weld aluminum?

 

[turtle561]

sure, there's a lot of boat related stuff here, tuna towers and all. there's two shops nearby. one is use to me pestering them with my little pia projects. they're good guys.

I have a full Wrap handle, and extra that came on my 2101. It has one of the bracket's broken off on the bottom. A clean break on one side. And like all those handle bar's is not 100 straight. But a good fabricator, could re shape, or bend it back real easy, and fix the tubing on the bottom. If you want it I will give it to you. Just snapped a couple pic's.

 

[turtle561]

thanks norm. that looks fixable. the welder has racks of tubing, all different sizes. the old one was squashed flat into the fins you can see broken.
that would be great, it will break the ice and get me rolling on fixing it up, plus having something to hold onto while starting it! gracias !

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Ok man you got it. Pm me your'e address.

longer bar

Here is one of my home made bars, can't find that long one but found this first one i made back in the 90's.
that 051 still gets used for cutting packs off in my mill most days and needs the 36'' bar to go through the packs in one pass.

will keep looking for that 60'' plus bar, i think it may of been nicked.
the bar shown measures 49 inches and is made from 2 28inch bars.

Good stuff Neil, I like it!

Good stuff Neil, I like it!

That old 051av is in bloody good nick and has done a lot of work for me in the mill. I have never fell trees with it as i have better gear for that job but in their day they did fall ####loads out here.
Its good for docking timber packs because its slow reving and can be leaned on plus it dumps the exhaust out the side instead of hitting the pack and back onto the sawyer like newer saws with front exhaust.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice, I agree, and there are some really good older saw's. Strong runner's even when compared to today's saw's. I have never run a 051, but know they have good history. I have run a few 076's. I have a 041. But youre's in in good shape my friend! And like you I have many saw's, and all have there place, and use.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks for the picture of the 051 Neil. My late logging buddy used one as his primary saw. Between us we put a lot of wood on the ground( of course I was running Husky's that might have helped). Diabetes got him at 51. One of the best loggers I ever worked around.

joe46,,, thanks for looking at the old girl still working for its keep, it runs 3/8 oregon CJX skip tooth on a 7 tooth rim sprocket and 36 inch oregon bar. The 051 is nicely balanced with that setup and when you sit it down it does not fall over, and for what i use it for (1/2 to 1 hour per day ) its a good saw.
Your mate would of liked using his better if he was running todays lighter roller nose bars with todays chains and rims ect instead of 404 on duramatic solid bars of the day.
As i said before, i have not felled logs with this saw but if i needed to i could.



Norm,,, a well set up saw, ready for work , i see its a skip tooth chain is it CJX or something else.
No need for weight training to use a 2100 mate, real men are made to use the husky saw hahahahah

 

[Joe46]

Hey Neil. We were running sprocket nose bars. I don't recall if he was using Stihl or Oregon. I was using Windsor. Both running Carlton .404X.063 full skip chisel.

I've noticed there appears to be two different styles of mufflers on the 2100s. Is there any performance difference between the two? I think I'd like to change from the one that exits above the top of the bar to the one that exits the front of the muffler through a bunch of louvres.

 

[turtle561]

ductape- i've been looking at those too. my ipl calls it a jungle muffler and shows it with a screen and a baffle behind the louvres.
make it easier to mod for sure.

i was thinking of getting the louvre plate and doing a cut out on the face of mine, maybe adding a baffle and drilling it.

 

[Ductape]

I believe I'll be putting a 288 clutch cover on mine to have a brake...... and the exhaust exits right at the plastic brake handle. If the one with the louvres mods easy, that would just be an added bonus !
