piston pin tool

thats a pretty good pin tool,,, does the piston get scratched or nicked in the pipe? i just bored a hole with a hole saw thru a piece of soft pine, then sliced the wood in half so i had 2 blocks with half circles in then, then i drilled a hole thru the bottom of teh half circle, so the pin could be pushed out,, i use it on a small drill press and it worked well teh few times i needed it,,,,,,,,,,

That looks like it will work fine!
Do you mind if I steal your idea?
You have posted that on the group page haven't you???

Yes it worked fine.
No, I don't mind, I stole the idea from the factory tool
No not yet, I keep forgetting about the new group

And no it don't scratch or nick the piston, I made sure its insides was smooth without burrs or knicks.

Oh and the wife just walked in and told me that my daughter called and just got the 4000 to the UPS man today, so I should see it by next week.

I'm pretty sure that I'd like flea markets in South Carolina.

Nice score!

I agree! great job on that tool, Will definately try and make one before I do another Poulan piston job. And, with CAD setting in, Im sure there will be another job. If it was pretty..I couldn't afford it or make it, lol

Gregg,

Well I have no Poulans of merit, but I have learned alot by tearing them apart and playing with the newer consumer versions. I generally listen an learn when talking about saws, an just throw in smart @$$ comments on fringe issues.
I will offer this up, I bought a reconditioned 4620 AVX and I am surprised at how it runs and cuts. I do not dare to compare it to other saws, but feel it and my 2150 earned their modest cost. I have had some craftsman and poulans that I would shoot as soon as look at.

I have 10 hours of work on the 4620 and the funky chain tensioner is working fine. Everybody rails on this set up and I expect it will strip out on me at some point. I have heard there is option to buy a retrofit brake & tensioner turning it back into a 295, but I was unable to locate it at ordertree. Anyone have a part number or web site?

Thank you for any assistance.

I got a 3000 for free, it needed an AV and a pulse line. I now have $7 into the saw. Modded the muffler and retuned the carb. That saw changed how I feel about Poulans! It absoultly rips! I love it, It is by far my favorite mid size saw.
