My saws...

[hamradio]

My 039- (don't mind the loose chain; came from eBay, as a parts saw, and I rebuilt it with another parts saw)

My 011AV- (leaks bar oil from partially wrecked oiler; my fault, I got it free)

My little Olympyk 935DF- (I've never seen a pic of one on the net, besides Mike Acre's site; cost me $30)

All 3 saws-

And, my four wheeler, with the chainsaw bracket I built for it- (if you want more details, I can post more pictures of the bracket; it works very well, and is made from some scrap I had around, and part of an old tire)

If you'd like any more pictures, I have a ton of pics of all saws and of the bracket on my camera; I can post more.

How does that holster clamp? Do you have to tighten it evertime you put the saw in?

 

[hamradio]

Yep. Just has 2 giant wing nuts I made (welded round stock onto nuts. 2 steel plates, with tire pieces on each one, clamp the bar in. Much faster and much more secure than bungee cords. I want to make one for an enduro motorcycle (kawasaki KE175).

If you get it perfected, I'm sure you could market something like that.

I gotta give you credit for the hold down clamp. Looks good, is functional and can be made fairly easy. Thanks for the pics. I would make one, but sold the quad I used to have. lol

They sell them, but I'm so cheap. I figured, $70 is what all the stores want for them, and for free, I could build one. And I did.

What is that big orange thing under the right rear fender?

 

[hamradio]

I think you're talking about the gas tank. It's a 1985 Kawasaki Bayou 185. I rebuilt the top end. Intake valve was broken off when I bought it. $100 later, in parts, I fixed it. Not bad for $300 total. It's old, and it is a very rough ride (no rear suspension), but, it is very dependable, and indestructible (until now). I would crack it wide open, down the driveway (1/4 mile driveway), and I sheared the key on the flywheel. My guess is, that it has over 10,000 miles on it.

How about a close up picture of the bracket? Thanks!

It looks to me like the rough ride would wobble the powerhead back and forth a lot, thus being hard on the bar mounts?

I was wondering about the same thing. I sure like the idea, though.
