I use stp when i want something slippery.
Especially on rubber components. Stuff is
slicker than snot on a door knob.

Suggestion was followed ..... Set the line in some HOT water for about 5 minutes, shook off and dipped in 2-stroke oil. Still had to really yank on it hard before it finally popped into place. Nice!
I have a can of that crap here; the STP, not the snot.
Glad I finally found a use for it!

Drill shot
Seems nobody knows much about them.
Here is what they look like. I can't wait to bore a hole in something.

Auto oiling and manual override for that little extra shot of oil when you need it. I want to tap the oil hole for a copper tube then run the tube out for drilling in metal (mostly as a novelty) put the cutting oil in the resivour and hole saw away.
Fired up the last two last night. they were out of gas.

Holy Homelite!
I found a bin full of SXL's and 360's, I only had $20 on me but since I fixed up yard bosses mini mac he said he would put the bin in his building where no public is allowed and save them for me, there are 30+ saws. There was also 3 or 4 yellow saws and a single orange and white saw.
I picked up these 5, 3 360's, 1 SXL, and the lone 923xl.

I sure would like to see the official stats on this claim as Homelite chainsaws are still putting wood on the ground 63 years after the first Homelite chainsaw hit the market.

I can't speak for everywhere, but from my experience in east, TN you rarely ever see old stihl's, however there are all kind of Homelite's, Macs, Poulans, and even Pioneers. I don't have the funds to run around chainsaw pickin', or I know I could dig up some cool ole saws instead of all these sewing machines with a chain that are around nowadays. I know for a fact my dad cut, limbed, and bucked over 100 acres of hardwood with a Homelite Super XL, then my grandfather milled it it with a Frick circular saw mill.

I got to tinker with a few of the homies I brought home yesterday. The best looking of the two 360's will need a boot, I will have to get to the other two tomorrow. Of course the super xl fired right up and runs great. I did not get to the 923xl either. I swear that those SXL saws are indestructible, I found out that these are all forest service saws and have been buried under a pile of scrap for over a year, to pull one out put gas in it and have it run is just a testament to how well built these saws are. I can't wait to get the rest.
