Anyone near this Shindaiwa in Santa Clara that could check it out and ship it if its worth a damn? Bob says its too much hassle to package and mail. Plus I like to trust but verify.

...Bob says its too much hassle to package and mail...

know how he feels. it is sooooooo hard to put a saw in a box with good cushioning and take it to the post office. you must be trying to get into his doobie time dood.

I would't trust it Ted. The plastic and the 'adhesive' don't seem to age well. MANY reports on line of them failing. Seems to be a common thing...

Very nice looking 7-10. Better than the one I just restored. Many people are not willing to pay for quality, but for the BIN price this one IMO is a steal. Only bummer is that it doesn't have the wrap handle bar.

On a positive note, in the item specifics he list the model as a 2101, so that is a steal.............:hmm3grin2orange:

My mind was on an internet parts search. Had taken a quick break from the frustration and was checking the CL listings when I saw the 'train saw' that Jon listed. Looking for a water outlet/thermostat housing for my Wife's explorer. Damn overpriced, glued-together plastic box split the seam and sprung a leak on my way to work yesterday. Had to take a sick day (dammit, I'd rather have been at work) and get the damn thing towed home. Thank God we have AAA with the 100 mile free towing 'premium' membership. Was a hot, nasty, crappy afternoon.

Dealer wants a FORTUNE for said part and has to order it. Only one chain AP store carries them, and they'll have it for me tomorrow morning. Still expensive $53 for a lousey plastic box), but about 1/5th of what the dealer wanted for it. Wife has all kinds of driving stuff to do over the next few days, so the pressure's on to get the wheels rolling again.

Why was I driving her car yesterday? Because I was SUPPOSED to pick the family up at the airport after work. That plan got ####-canned. They took the airport bus back to a town close to home, and we all squeezed into my little Ranger at 1:00AM this morning.

AARON!!!!!!!!



MAKE DAMNED SURE it's not the INTAKE manifold!!!!!


When I was working at the shop, I had a 03 4.6 explorer that was MIS-DIAGNOSED by a "SEASONED" tech...

the manifold was split ALSO...

customer was PISSED that it was going to take 2 MORE days to get the new part... IMAGINE how PISSED they would have been if it was "fixed" and they DROVE AWAY :bang:

Aaron - Is the Exploder old enough that you'd find the part in a boneyard?

these are composite plenums...( yes, UNCOOL :bang: ) you'd NEVER want to trust a used one..

I would't trust it Ted. The plastic and the 'adhesive' don't seem to age well. MANY reports on line of them failing. Seems to be a common thing...

YES... BUT.. also the intake...

you can UPGRADE the thermostat housing to the ALUMINUM VERSION which is LESS failure prone..


BUT it's STILL on a failure-prone intake... :bang:

SOMEONE liked the saw...

it's gone as of 2 minutes ago!!

Makes me happy my Cherokee just turned 198K today and is relatively problem-free and the wife's CR-V just keeps rollin' along ....

 

[8433jeff]

Well apparently this saw is either coal, diesel, or electrically powered.

Gas train saw, 18"


Aaron, at least he didn't list it as a Poolen, polan, poulon, polin........etc.

Note the 50 on the saw cylinder cover, probably what the flea market guy was asking.

baaa!!! JB weld on plastic with a 16psi+ coolant system...ain't gonna work!!


Good for you on the Jeep!! they are ULTRA reliable, and EASY to work on...

I've seen them with 445k on them...


my brother and I could consistently get 21-23 mpg's EVERYWHERE (in New england...QUITE hilly) with the injected 4.0 5 spd

Jay -

BITD, we'd get some similar plastic and shave it into little pieces. Then throw into a jar with some liquid airplane glue before putting the cap on. 24 hrs later we had matching 'glue' for the plastic we were fixing. Worked great on coolant reservoir bottles and similar non-pressurized applications.

I can get 20+ MPG with my Cherokee with automatic, but I really gotta nurse it and stick to 55 on the highway.

Sears Chainsaw with 20 inch bar

This would be pretty cool to have a metal craftsman case like this?
Price seems high but looks pretty darn clean. No where near me:frown:

Did they actaully make ametal carrying case or did this guy convert an old tool box?

Not everyday you get a lot of electrics

Pretty high considering I just bought that saw for $20. :hmm3grin2orange:

I'm quite sure that is just an old toolbox. :msp_wink:

Thanks guys. This is the 4.0L V6. Plastic upper manifold (dry....no coolant passages) with an alluminum lower manifold. Leak is definitely at the plastic water outlet/thermostat housing. Saw it leaking, and have already removed and inspected it. Warped and sepparated at the glued seam. That's where the water was shooting out. Crappy design. 132K on the clock and this is the first real issue. Been a few gremlins with the power windows...
