Ancy, I believe you inbox is full. On a side note, I would mind burying the bar of my 372 in that big wood...
Freed up some room!
yeah I can see them now.
350/2150 build off update... Sounds like everyone is off to a good start or nearing completion of their build-off saw. Since we have a good field of heavily moded saws I think my 2150 is going to be down graded to a stock runner we can get base timing from.
Mike or Mitch,
If you wouldn't mind helping me out with my cylinder problems... I'll have her kickin' in time for the GTG!
Andy,
You need to bring me some of those logs and your trailer sometime in the not so distant future. PLEASE! :smile2:
Anyone else,
I'm looking for sponsers to donate door prizes, build off prizes, race prizes... PM me if there is someone you think I should be contacting. Greg at Bailey's is already sending us a "care package." I also have a few odds and ends that i have picked up at local shops
Speaking of which we have a new Iowa GTG Challenge!
Greg and I were talking via PM and from what it sounds like we need to come up with our fastest Farmboss Rebuilders. Greg will be sending us a ms390 engine and some extras and we are going to be racing other state GTG's to see who can swap a ms390 engine the fastest. I will be donating a ms290 for the build off and we'll be raffeling it off. Proceeds will go to a charity of our choice but Greg suggested it be a local charity. I think we'll be the first to be timing a ms390 install so we'll be setting the curve. Rules to follow...

Well I will try but I leave soon and trying to get the honey-do list down before I go. I don't think I have a way to load that big oak but can load the trailer full of cedar, locust, and silver maple. We could grab more from Redfield if it comes down to it, just that most of the dead fall oak which we could take would be hard to get to. There are some dead white pines right up top that might work. Remember I leave 31st-10th!!

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
I'll bring a couple of Makita Li-Ion 1/4 drive impacts and a set of long star drivers. They tear stuff down fast!
we can get to it after your back.
don't have the time or skill to make a runner that will compete with the others...
I think we're being relagated to hand tools only... I have 2 bosch 12v drills for breaking down stuff too... LOL...

That sounds like fun. I just picked up a 029 and 3 290's a couple weeks ago they don't take long to tear down. The 290's pistons and cylinders are shot so they might turn into 390s the 029 had a new piston in it and the didn't put any gasket sealer between the bottom and top end it'll be running by this weekend.
Will try to make it to this get together but it'll depend on the harvest.
Got to start somewhere?:msp_wink:
work has me in the office 60-70hrs a week these past few months, 3 chainsaws in shop for others, 2 more dropped off tonight and I'd like to get my 9010, 076, 056 magII, redmax 3800, 260pro and 036pro all buttoned up before Fall GTG gets here... and if I have a spare few mins I wouldn't mind getting over to the honey hole to pick up that efco 132s for $25 and getting it running too. Oh and I need to get the 2150 running for the GTG base line timing, set up for the GTG, help remodel the bathroom, oh and fix my wood hauling truck... oh almost forgot I have a couple 026's to get back together too...
I think that's enough to keep me busy until GTG time. This winter I'll go through the finer points of porting and get started with a degree wheel and all that. No rest for the weary and all that bunk...
Hope everyone is doing good on their saw entry's!!!

I actually have 2... Both in boxes... Barely serviceable jugs... A few parts just plain missing... The thought of digging into them don't really excite me much right now... But I can have one carved up in a couple days when pushed... I got another stupid 028 to deal with before I get to it... I'm developing a hatred of those saws... :msp_angry:

I looked at my 350 today....
Didn't do anything with it...
Just looked at it...
Sometimes it takes alot of looking at a saw, then poking it with a stick to make it run right...
