395xp Build

[Tzed250]

Alot of my Buddies work for PCS in the potash mines here in Saskachewan. Are those the type of miners they would run? I want to go down on a tour to see but they haven't offered them in a long while

These miners are generally used on low-seam coal. Here is a video showing the machine at work.

Nice work on the piston and cylinder! That guy is gonna be grinnin'!!!


The part I was milling is a head lift arm for a Highwall Miner. You can see them in the pics below. They are the parts that angle down and under the ripper chain. A left and right pair cost over $30K...

Wow heavy duty stuff.

PW - did you widen the ports in the piston, or lengthen them? Or just smooth out the Radii??

Both a little, but mostly to make it flow better, take out the casting flash and any imperfections.

Yes, they are much better, they look like what I made there.

Thanks, good info. I didn't know either.

 

[parrisw]

Not sure what I would use it for but I WANT ONE.

Nice work on the P&C Parris.

Thanks!

Cool....i figured the latter...but noticed there might have been some other changes..

Meteor piston? where from?

That one is not a meteor, its stock. Although I just got a 395 meteor piston today for another 395 that next after this one.

Stock? was this saw just needing a crank/bearings??

Yes. Bearings, crank seals, gaskets, piston rings, carb rebuild, fuel line, filter, impluse line. A major tune up. It would die if layed on it's side to fell a tree, kinda pain in the ass.

wow... i guess.

worked hard it's life, i guess.

What causes it to die when on it's side? mainly the carb i'd presume before??
