Hedge, I sent a PM to Seam from Japan. Hopefully he can give you some info on the Shindaiwa.

 

[SEAM]

Nope, I've never heard of or seen a 48 so far. The 488 is quite common and I would guess the 48 was the 2-digit predecessor of the 488. In the earlier days most pros would choose Stihl or Husqvarna over Japanese equivalents in the around 50 cc class.

She seems to be in nice shape - I would put her on the shelf

 

[Oliver1655]

Thanks for the fast response.

I got the results from the CT scan today, they said the circulation is sufficient for now. I asked the doctor about my little toe and the pain it causes,bottom line was if it turns black, they will cut it off for me. Okay doc, thanks for your concern. I have a appointment next friday with my regular doctor and if futher treatment is called for she will see to it. If she was single and ole Jim was 20 years younger, I would camp on her doorstep untill she either let me in or had me hauled off in a paddy wagon.

You must be feeling better.

If you are looking at the ladies again you must be feeling better

Well?? Too late.. Levi has decided it needs to be used, so he's been whipping on it for a couple days now....
Aside from the carb that only has a low circuit adjustment, it runs very good..
Better saw than an 028 IMO...

Cobey lucked out. My source had a length of 80 drivers left to make the 78 dl loop of .404 x .058. (Carlton chipper).

Claims he can get another reel but that remains to be seen.............................................

Turn the speakers up and let it play. Used to know a stripper that danced to this one every night. Man I have gotten old.

 

[Work Saw Collector]

One more, if you ever find yourself in a bar in Junction City KS tell the girls I said hi. I think I paid for that place back in the day. LOL

 

[Oliver1655]

Stihl 050 AV. Other than what Bill's & Mike' sites say, who has used one & how long of a bar do YOU think it can take?

 

[Work Saw Collector]

John T has a 051 he comes around every once in a while.

 

[Work Saw Collector]

They can wear a long bar they just lack the higher rpm of modern saws.

 

[Oliver1655]

Mike's site said 30" max. Any idea if it will oil a 36" bar?

I would let John answer that, I know he milled with his but I can't remember what bar was on it.

John, I knew a logger that a 36" bar was all he run on his 051. That saw has a adjustable oiler.

 

[Oliver1655]

Thanks Jim.

My brother-in-law is at a swap meet & saw one there. I gave him some numbers to use if running or if not. They thought it had a 20" bar. I didn't even try to find out what type of chain is on it. Most used saws I get need a new sprocket anyway. If he is able to pick it up for the price I am offering, I will be wanting to have a 36" bar & will be running .404 .063 chain on it. One of the things I will be getting educated on at the Iowa GTG is chainsaw milling. I don't plan to do a lot of it but do want to have the capability to do it as projects come up. (Outdoor benches, trailer decking, ...)

So now it is wait & see how bad the seller wants to sell. BIL will be checking with seller towards the end of the day when he is more likely to "Make A Deal"
