Jim: You get that C-70 unstuck?

Geezer moment/too funny: After running the Lombard I was showing off the Farmsaw to Allen. Was deep into a long cut when I hit the kill switch as it is in the same location as the manual oiler on the Lombard........................Oops.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Well, it was a long day. Headed off to bed now. Maybe I'll actually get to play with some chainsaws tomorrow. I did buy some parts today. Got some chain catchers, chain guides, and a new clutch drum (rim type) for my 026. I'm gonna switch everything over so I can run 3/8" chain on everything. Tired of having to keep everything separate and/or not being able to switch bars around when I need to.

Dad and I did that awhile back for the exact same reason. I miss my old 346xp but it's a bit unfair to compare the 261 to it as the 346 wore .325 chain. I would have been interesting to see how it compared, apples-to-apples with the 261 while wearing 3/8's chain. It does make it a lot easier though when everything is wearing .050-3/8's though as we have 16", 20" and 28" loops which can go on any of the daily saws with the exception of my 36" Stihl bar and the .063-3/8's loops for it, but it only goes on the 9010 when needed. It's nice not having to look at the chain to know which ones belong to which saws...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm going for. Then I can just buy a roll of chain and make new chain as I need it.

Morning everybody!

 

[Hinerman]

Good morning. 70° here this morning. Makes me wish I had more than a 10 minute drive to work so I could cruise a little longer with the windows down.

I recently switched my newer 346xp over to 3/8" 18" with a muff mod and it pulls it very good. I'd say it's even faster than .325. But that one got shipped to mastermind last week, so it don't count anymore.

Afternoon Everybody.

 

[Mo. Jim]

Afternoon Everybody.

Afternoon Steve, worked up a sweat out there fighting the weeds and it's only 78 degrees. Going back out and work on my DR walk behind trimmer, won't start.
A friend stopped by with a 6401 Kita, couldn't get the chain to stop turning, checked it out and found a shot sproket bearing. Later Jim

 

[Hedgerow]

Howdy all..
Kenneth stopped by and sat on the deck with me for a while last night...
Sure was nice out...

Dang, I ain't even held one yet.

Fellow wants to buy my Farmsaw.......................................Dunno if I should sell it.

 

[Hedgerow]

Sell it...
Go find another.....

Running.....

I dunno Carl, I'm thinking you ought to keep that one.

Unless, of course, he offers a stupid high amount.

 

[67L36Driver]

Nope, can't keep him. Official count is 40 plus a half dozen projects. We B saw poor.

Carl that saw is a keeper, one that clean is hard to come by. Been soaking the cylinder on the C70 all afternoon, I think this saw has seen some water. If I can get the saw to turn over, I am going to tear it all the way down and give it a complete rebuild.
Found water in the DR trimmer as I suspected, need to get the tank cleaned up here in a little bit.

Is the sprocket bearing plastic cage? their is a retro kit but it requires a new clutch drum. i believe the new one is metal.

It was metal, I had to use a brass drift to punch it out. I have never worked on this series of saws and know zilch about them.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

give Edge and engine a call that is where I have gotten my clutch and bearing up grade. They will be able to tell you which you need. Dam nice day.

 

[67L36Driver]

Project saws include the Wright, Homelite XP-1000, 2000, Poulan XX, Remy PL-5 w/NOS piston & cylinder, Remy Super 75A and some I shoved under the shelves in the corner. Yikes!

What's wrong with the Remy 75?

 

[67L36Driver]

What's wrong with the Remy 75?

Compression is 110, runs but, and really, really needs a paint job. The other 75A, comp. is 90. Been sitting way too long not to do somthing with them.

A Remington collector needs at least one really spiffy Bantam type.
