Just made a fresh pot of coffee, I'm behind on my caffeine fix for the day. I got the DR trimmer back on line and used it for awhile. The C70 is still soaking, I think this might take awhile.

What are you soaking it in? I have had the best luck with a mix a ATF & acetone for freeing up rusted items. A few years back Harbor Freight sold rechargeable aerosol spray cans. It makes it handy, take the lid off, add the mix, recap & use your tire air chuck to charge the can.

On the GMC in-line 6 cylinder engine on the boat I am working on which had been sitting since 1978, close to 46 years, I removed the spark plugs & misted the cylinders with the ATF/Acetone mix. After letting it sit for a couple of hours, I was able to to get it to turn over in about 3-5 minutes.

Yep 50/50 acetone and ATF is amazing. Just used it to get a hub bearing to separate from the steering knuckle on Tammi's Tahoe. The ultimate penetrant is wintergreen oil. Use it at work when nothing else works.

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.

You are right Jim. Need to keep the Farmsaw. So, what I should try to sell this fellow is the 'Fisher Price' special. My Homie XL-800. It would be more suitable to running 24 or 30 inch bars.

But, I'm going to have to come up with a 24" Homie pattern bar for it. Or 30". Yikes!

I thought the same thing when I stepped outside this morning.
If this is global warming, send me some more.

LOL. Between the air hammer and regular hammer, I sounded like the village blacksmith gone insane until I mixed up some of the stuff to break it loose.

Which one? John Deere 18 from the looks of the muffler. Or, maybe a 19. Remy PL-4 or 5.

Those things are magnetic. I sold a running 18 to a dairy farmer east of Joetown and now he has three. LOL
