Iowa Fall 2012 GTG

[Hedgerow]

Pssstttt... I'm working on my door prize(s) for anyone who can start my Makita 6401 that has been dormant for two years or so (it has a spark).

However, I need directions and a date for arrival. Last I heard, October 6 was set, and somebody said this event was somewhere south of Des Moines, IA. Has any URL been set up for details? TIA. :msp_confused:

Consider it started Doc... All I gotta do is beat Kenneth to the site...
Which you can PM the OP to get directions to...

Now, I've read plenty of posts about the great Stumpmeister. But this is the very first I've heard about him creating cannabalistic zombie saws. I might even send him one down, if he gets them to do all that with a degree wheel and a dremel! Pure hillbilly voodoo, I say!

On second thought, if I'm gonna need a priest to deal with my saw once it comes back home, the costs may become prohibitive. Additionally, it may put the rest of my saw "family" at risk, as they are all stock. I'd be mad as can be if all I found in the shed in the morning was Husky bones and feathers.........

Send him a husky then... They just cut fast and are herbivores... "Feed only on wood"
No bad JUJU....

Maybe some of those fine gentlemen coming from Wisconsin could bring something from New Glarus.

I plan on bringing something from near and far.

ms390 engine swap race

Greg from Bailey's said everyone that is doing this is getting a pack of hand tools to be used for the build off.

Trying to find a new 20in B&C for the ms390 for after the build off. Anyone want to donate?

This saw will be raffeled off for a charity once completed. My question to YOU GUYS coming... Should include others from AS that won't be present in the raffel? Or you need to be present to win?

I'll buy a new B&C for it. How about the Carlton Speed Tip combo from Baileys?

Funny you should mention that... I was just eye balling one of those...

 

[Homelite410]

How about the unbranded carlton B&C combo for 29.99? Are they stihl mount?

I think that is small mount Husky.

 

[Hedgerow]

That would be correct... But they look good!!!

 

[Stumpys Customs]

Those are re-branded Windsor bars. Should be worth the $:msp_biggrin:

I worry though, that they may throw the sideways balance off a bit...:hmm3grin2orange:

I like the metal /w/ black tip...
SEXY!!!

Unless someone knows of a better deal I'll order it up this week.

So there is only one P/C, but many hand tool kits?

That's a decent deal on the B/C combo, that's almost dealer cost from the Oregon folks for a replaceable tip bar, free chain to boot.

Carlton Bar Testimonuy

Funny you should mention that... I was just eye balling one of those...

I outfitted a Stihl 084 with a 36" Carlton bar last year for a logger friend and added a new 404 chain. Rebuilt the carb. It's still in use today. That's the one I tested at the Iowa GTG last year. That old beast performed flawlessly and cleaned the clocks of a couple of MS 880s that ran against it.

I don't doubt it... The 084 is a very desirable saw...
For a Stihl...
And stuff...
