That reminds me. I tucked away some old 2's, 76 2's, old 5's, old 10's. Cant recall if just 1 each or more. hmmmmm now to find where I hid them 30 years ago.

Lol, the quest is on. Hardest part is remembering.

Minor setback. Poo Pooed the PTO side seal. But I can get the rest of the saw together and wait for the other/ correct seals I ordered to show up.


After that I went to pick up some hi temp paint for the muffler, and spotted this down the road from the house. 1971 half ton International.
These Old turd spreaders have some sentimental meaning to me as I’ve owned several Scouts and a Scout II. Someone tried to fix all the rot in this one and did a pretty butch job of it. Weather is super nice today. Sunny and near 60* with no wind.


Edit: somehow I missed the hideous sunroof on that truck. And the seller wants $2900.... wow

Is a very cool truck for sure. It would be worth stupid money down here if it was on the road still

Seems to be. I’m sure it runs and drives. Looking under it the truck it’s apparent the build quality is suspect. welds that look like a bird did some strategic bombing

 

[s sidewall]

That's a (Run away from it, don't walk) kind of truck.

After I messed up the crank seal I knew I wouldn’t have the 5200 running today, so I opened a frosty barley pop and did some cleanup around the shop. Got some of the yellow saws out and ran them a bit to burn the fuel out. Neighbors loved it.


EDIT: this was inspired by Todd. Sorry they are the wrong color

 

[Todd Loosli]

Doesn't matter what color it matters if you run the saws or use them to use your swiffer duster and let them sit on the shelf.
I ran Green Ripper, after it wouldn't start, I found the impulse line had been beaten by the heat shield and it was off the nipple . Fixed that and made a new idle screw and it was dino time. That saw is strong. That's how my day went. Also ran RIP jr, also a strong saw
