Minnesota,Wisconsin,Iowa, Dakotas GTG's thread

[Ryan'smilling]

I could use a break and mend for sure. My dealer just charged me way too much to spin up some 92DL loops from some clearance RS chain they had laying around. Could have bought a couple of those for what they charged me.

If I get around one I'll put out an all call and pick up whatever you guys need.

That'd be swell. If you do, I'm good for a break and mend!

Just chatted with philbert. Ironically I was within 5 minutes of him but now am an hour away. I can check the store up here maybe this weekend.

 

[Philbert]

Morning all
Philbert would it be possible to get one of those break and mend tools for me?

Ok, thanks

We worked something out for you Mark. Will bring to GTG.

How well do these work? 3/8 LP, .325, 3/8, .404 ?

I have a good breaker, but need a spinner. Is the NT one worth it, or is it typical china HF quality?
Where get the links and rivets?
I might only use it a couple times a year, but have some uses. I would not spend $40, but $15 I could see, if it works.

 

[Philbert]

The Granberg hand held tool, IMO, is not a substitute for a decent, bench top spinner and breaker. It is OK for occasional use, and nice to have as a field tool. I have one, but would not recommend it for someone making loops off of a roll on a regular basis.

That said, if you can find one of the clearance ones, it might be worth trying for what you describe. You should be able to get your money back on Craig'sList or the Trading Post if you don't like it - low risk investment.

The Granberg Break-N-Mend is made in the USA if than makes a difference.

I order Oregon/Carlton presets and tie straps from Bailey's, usually when I am placing another order. I get STIHL parts from my local STIHL dealer. You can sometimes find chain parts on eBay, or other mail order places.

Hey everyone.

Does anyone have a stock 346 OE? I'd like to run one and would be happy to set up a mini gtg if anyone nearby has one. Other saws welcome too.

@old guy

Jon, do you have a stock OE?

 

[JimMorrison]

I have one, it's nothing special, but it runs good. Haven't been to a GTG yet. Maybe it's time I did.

@svk

Are you thinking of swapping your 350 over to 346 jug and piston?
I picked up two junker 350's I planned to do it to but haven't found the time yet.

 

[svk]

Actually I was hoping to run my 241 against one stock for stock. I think the 346 will be faster but want to see for sure.

 

[old guy]

Iv'e got a stock oe Steve, it does have a gasket delete & muff mod tho.

 

[JimMorrison]

Pretty sure mine is all stock. Muffler has not been touched. Should be good example for comparison. Lots of use but well maintained.

 

[old guy]

I also have a completly stock 353

 

[svk]

Let's find a time to meet up guys. I'll bring my muff modded/Chinese cylinder 350 also and we can have a midweight shootout.

Jim, would you be up to driving a bit north of Minneapolis yo Lino Lakes? Looks like it's about 2:30 from you.

 

[JimMorrison]

Should be fun. I am not around this next weekend but maybe after that.

 

[JimMorrison]

No problem driving north. I have family in the Metro still. I was just up there for the cycle show.

 

[Dieseldash]

Wish I was closer. I'm a big fan of hot 45-50cc saws. We visit my in-laws lake place near Battle Lake, MN every summer. My NE 346xp might need a road trip.
