Sartorial splendor

The problem is they'd probably like it :msp_scared:.

I think it is the black suits with red, white and silver accents combined with the shiny black boots that gives them away....they are into discipline, and giving and following das orderz.....

Wow

Screw a bunch of Stihl reps

I had the same rep for a number of years and I was one of his sources for tired 020 saws and parts which at that time he used
for wood carving. He was an OK guy. I am sure the pressure to sell is higher today.

An older gentleman near by sold Poulan saws and had a good following. I am going to retire in 3-4 months and one day plan to see if there is anything around from those days.

I still have oil left that I use in my saws, but I do not use them hard.

 

[67L36Driver]

I sold 3 brands of saws years ago [ 75-93 ] and used ash-less lawnboy oil at a 32-1 mix in everything that went thru the shop including new saws. I never advertised this to anyone, but the Stihl rep saw one of the guys mixing up some fresh gas mix once and really got on my case. We did sell and recommend using the manufactures oil in new saws.

It was just easy to use one mix for everything and back then we had 100s of lawnboys in the area and worked on most brands of chain saws.
I realize this was years ago but It worked then.

Long time Lawnboy owner here. Been running 32:1 almost forever. The saws will just have to like it.

Let the next owner re-tune.

AC 75A back in shape.

Finally got to tear into the Allis Chalmers 75A, AKA Poulan 25DA.

Needed all the old saw stuff, a good cleaning, points cleaned, adjusted, fuel line, carb kit, fuel filter, air filter, throttle seal and the oiler was shot on this one.

I gave both the carb and the oiler a bath in the USC and then put a NOS diaphragm and quad ring in the oiler. The oiler is working great now, just like they always did. This one has its original 14" sprocket tip bar and a Stihl 1/4" pitch chain on it. I wanted to leave the bar natural, but it was rusted up pretty good so after I cleaned the rust I gave it a shot of paint to keep if from further rusting.

The saws running great also, I made a few cuts with it and it walked right through a piece of oak.

Here are a couple of the finished saw.

Here is the 75A along side the 75

I also took a road trip this weekend to pick up this.

This ought to make some firewood work easier.

Mucho suckitude=you! BWAHAHAHA "Oh ya, by the way, just in passing, just got me a NEW TRACTOR WITH A FRONT END LOADER"!

Well, mr. smarty pants big bucks, I'll have you know that today *I* got a "score" as well, I found a used handle that fits my ten cent shovel head I got at a yard sale! So take that!!!

 

[R DeLawter]

Nice looking

What model is the tractor? 3 cylinder diesel?
Also looks like a swell trailer to haul it on.

I have an old Dayton of that type but it has very low compression. I'm thinking that looks like it must be taken completely apart to do a p/c job on it. Looks a little harder than the Micro I just did. Am I correct about that?

Yeah there a little bit more involved, but not really bad at all.

You should remove the carb, the front handle, the 4 screws out of the bottom plate then take the screws out of the top handle assy and remove it. You can get right at the cyl then.

Hey I'm happy that you found that handle!! Be happy for me will ya?

Thanks, I built that trailer about 12 years ago, got to get it in and get some new paint on it sometime soon. I got some sides to put on it for hauling wood.

The tractor is a 2000 model TC29.

Thanks Mark. I'll put that on my list of things to do, after I do all the things on my wife's list of things for me to do. I would really hate to part this saw out because it's in such good condition on the outside. I thought I had a pic of it but I guess I don't.

Me likey! Congratulations!

I need something like that for so many jobs around the house. I have dibs on my father's JD 4020, although he keeps telling me that he will be buried in it......But mom tells me he's being cremated so I might get it.
