lets get Christmas started early this year

[redfin]

I felt bad I didn't have anything to give out so I made a stihl flywheel puller to go to a good garage in need of one. It's the smaller of the 2 stihl pullers I think it works up to a 044. Body Made out 17-4 stainless with a SHCS turned to a point on the end.

Oh I could definately make use of that.

The puller is spoken for. If I get time I'll make a couple more.

Nice work on that puller , if it works half as good as it looks it is definetly a winner , as Homelite said " sell them"

They look FANTASTIC!!

I have wanted to make a puller also, could you do a thread on how you made them?

Maybe. I'm up to my eyelids in "work work" that I have to get out before the end of the year. And the owner only looks the other way so many times till he gets a little pissy about my home projects. I make a bunch of other stuff not related to chainsaws so I have to play my cards right. Thanks for the compliment though. I was checking out your bar spacers the other day. They look really nice too.

And I thought only I had that same problem. Not sure about bar spacers but can say first hand his gen 4 chainvise is also a really nice piece of work and really made a difference from fileing them on an old bar.

Nice work guys!!

I made it mostly on a cnc lathe so it's not something everyone could make exactly like that one. The mat'l I made it out of is severely over kill but it was laying around and the right size and free. It should last long enough to become a family heirloom of it doesn't get lost.
If a guy had a 22mm set screw or bolt and some drills and a tap set and a bench grinder and couple trips to the hardware store he could make a working puller. It's not rocket surgery

Ahem... I believe you mean brain science.

You're welcome.

tlandrum started this thread and WE have allowed it to fizzle out. I take as much blame as anybody, so here's my speech:

I have been richly blessed in my life. I am not rich in money, but I have a wonderful wife, four healthy children, food to eat, clothes to wear and a job to pay the bills. Well, most of the bills. I have given one or two things over the years but never got crazy with it. This year, work has been crazy busy and left me very little time to play with chainsaws, so to make up for it I'm going to put a few things up for grabs. That way someone else can enjoy the stuff and I can enjoy knowing someone else is happy because of me.

I know shipping is higher than ever and I hate to ask for it, but I just can't afford to pay for it. Everything I offer will be free except for the shipping.

I challenge anyone and everyone else who is also "richly blessed" to give something as well. Or several somethings. It will do you good. I promise.

First up: Homelite Super XL parts. Starter is cracked on bottom but works. I didn't see any defects on the clutch cover. The thing in the middle connects the handle to the case and I know they get broken a lot. One Tilly and one Walbro carb, used but complete.

First PM, you pay shipping.

Next, Homelite CS 50 parts. What you see is what you get. Yes, the piston and cylinder looked good through the ports, bearings felt ok. I think this is the same saw sold by Solo, but not 100%.

First PM and you pay shipping.

Merry Christmas!

That's the spirit my friend!!

Now, giving isn't really giving if it's something you don't want or need. If someone drops by the house and asks for some rocks they're welcome to fill their truck several times. This part of Arkansas only has about three tablespoons of dirt in every cubic yard of "topsoil". Shoot, I'd help 'em load it! So ...

How about a nearly-new saw? Several folks here have read the "Dissecting an Earthquake Chainsaw" thread. Maybe some have wondered if the little saws really are that neat. Here's your chance to find out. I will ship this to the first person WHO DOESN'T ALREADY HAVE ONE that asks via PM. I will try to offset the shipping a little since the saw isn't worth a lot more than that.

This is the 38 cc model and is not modified. Yet. You can see you're getting a good one, the comp is close to 160 psi. I didn't fuel it and fire it but I have no doubts about the little fellow. So, who would like an opportunity to read all 125+ pages of "Earthquake" thread and modify this saw?

Also, I challenge anyone who has 10 or more RUNNING saws to make a contribution to this thread. Offer up a running saw that is ready to be modded or a complete project ready to be re-assembled. Give something you would like to have yourself. It will make you a better person. opcorn:

Merry Christmas!

I'd be interested..

Looks like the Quake is headed north for the winter. I'll dig around for some more goodies this weekend.

Nice work. I started on a set of those this evening myself. Making the bigger one out of 4140PH and the smaller one out of a mystery steel drop. 17-4 is serious overkill. The 4140 is too, but like you I found it on the scrap shelf and it was about the right size....
