Dumpster found 041 Stihl with stripped bar stud hole.

[Bob Wright]

My buddy found this 041 in a dumpster because the front bar hole was stripped and it looked like JB Weld didn't fix it. So he called and asked if i could fix it. No problem bring it over. Tapped the front hole out to 3/8" and made a new bar stud on my trusty SB Lathe from 4140 steel. Didn't make anything but got lunch from it . ...Bob

Looks good Bob. For those less skilled than yourself, Stihl makes a stud that is the same on the part sticking out, but a larger size going into the case. I forget the model.

Nice work. I love dump finds. It's amazing what people will throw away. I just got a brush saw that the guy tossed because it stopped running and wouldn't restart. Ha ha - the spark arrester screen was craked solid with carbon.
