WOW, that is a nice one. What do you think it is worth/will sell for?

Good morning everybody. Heading to church.

Hay, I'm still alive just busy, round hay, quilt shows, moving our quilt shop to a bigger building. I haven't read a post in months PM if anything is needed from me, it comes to my email.

I got a text from Wiggs and that reminded me of this place, I am going to KY GTG.

Gotta check in more Steven! Glad to see ya still alive...

 

[sunfish]

You know, we could pick up Don on the way through... We gotta travel the whole length of highway 60...
And stuff...

Would love to, but I doubt I can fit anything in before mid October. When is Wigg's gig? When is your gtg goin to happen?

Browsing the Wright Blade Saws on Acres I see some with the same displacement as the C-70 (116cc).

Here is a piston/cylinder on evilbay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261541144380?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Model number would be a help.

Piston looks different.

Here's my P&C before I put my C-70 back together.

Nov 1 should not be a problem, but Sept 27 is unlikely, maybe... Thanks Matt!

Same here. As far as Barbara knows all I spent on the C-70 is "a lot". She be raisin' a stink if I 'fessed up.

I could likely get this one to run but it would be a crime to run it with the mains in the horrible condition they are in. Same as or worse than 'Fat Alice' was.

Carl, I got my bearings locally and the seals from Joe at Parrish. Around $50 total if I remember correctly. The bearings are a common size.

Steve do you know if the clutch and sprocket on the C50 is the same as the C70?

I'll check and get back with you Jim. Pulled the locked up C-70 out of the goat barn a couple days ago and the C-50 is on the bench.

Took me three years to sneak up on mine. Started looking AFTER I passed up one in Northern Arkansas for $200 that was so nice that the writing on the bar was still perfect. :-(

Still trying to wake up for the day. Tried getting in touch with a guy selling a Husqvarna 450, but he hasn't replied after I asked if I could look at the condition of the cylinder...... Might run out to the garage and start tearing the Craftsman 1.9 down some more. I think I'm gonna start assembling my 026 that's been sitting in a box for like, forever. Stole the jug and piston from it for another saw. Think I'll use a factory cylinder I have and order another aftermarket piston to try. Screwed my last one up, but that was due to getting to happy with the hone.

Got the skinny on mains and main seals from Chris Bean. The usual 6203 bearings and #6105 seals (SKF ??).

Weather cleared off so we could do a test and tune on the Lombard 68. Not much luck with the used loope of 7/16" , rakers need profiling maybe. Put on the nearly new loop and it was like Wow!!. I had the old pup going in and out of four stroking just by leaning on him a tad.

M R big chips.



Need to fashon a button for the oiler stem.

I remember that saw, I tried contacting the guy and never got any answer back.

How about finding a cabinet door knob to fit the stem or auto parts stores have little knobs that are held on by set screw.

On my PP 655 I used a 1" round ball of maple from the hardware store. Opened up the pilot hole to 1/4" and Gorilla glue. This one needs to be about 3/4" to clear handle.

Why the compression release message.

Here you go Jim. They look and measure identical.

C-50 on top & C-70 on bottom.

Might double check that seal number. They are very skinny.

Thanks a million Steve, that will make finding a clutch setup a lot easier, now I have to run down a air filter and cover.

Well, I've decided I'm not going to waste my time on the craftsman1.9. Tore it all the way down and split the case. There's way too much tedious work with this thing for something that I'm probably never going to use. I'll post it on the tradin' post to see if anybody needs it. Started putting together another 026, but I'm out of clutch side oil seals, so I'll have to wait for now. Tore down the 034, I'm pretty sure the cylinder isn't salvageable. There are chunks missing from the piston and the transfer is very thick. Might just part it out and call it a day.

I bought a nice 758G david bradley last night.. needs a carb kit (leaks) but runs
