it looks like a 111 dolmar 52 cc
 
Stopped by to get the correct carb kit for the 042 yesterday, after work. They were out of stock. :(. Oh well, not in a big hurry. They are going to get 5 back in. Apologized for being out of stock. I told them no worries, it's a project anyway. Seems like most of my stuff is always a project. :laugh:

Need to have a saw with the built in stone. As in old Craftsman. Was popular on their saws back in the 70's and early 80's.

Morning midlanders!

Down to making one from two out of the pile. Swapping out broken plastic between two power heads.

Stopped by AAA Lawnmower while in NKC yesterday. Came up empty on Echo parts but did get a needed Hoosky fuel lid.

You were only about 1 1/2 mile from my house. AAA has pretty talented folks; I think most of them are family.

I had the feeling that the 661 was likely a fine saw and Stihl's answer to the 390xp... I like the 395 and 9010 better if that's the case.

I have burned up more 066's than any other saw. I think the 661 was a much needed upgrade from the 066/660 series. I never handled a 395, but I sure like my 3120 and 372 (back when I had it). On the other hand, my 460 Stihl is rapidly becoming a favorite.

And you better have all your model, type, and code numbers, too. They don't talk to you long if they think there is any potential for getting the wrong part.

I went there once for a snapper push-mower side discharge chute. They insisted on getting all the numbers before they would even try to look it up. I had to get pissy with them and insist that it was the same discharge chute found on every commercial push mower for the last 40 year...just go around back, grab the first one you see and I'll take it.

I got the right part, but it was a pain. I quit buying husqy parts from them and went to buying them mail-order from Bailey's. I get 'em quicker, 'cause they don't have much inventory in commercial quality saw parts.

Yeah, I'm like right behind the pleasant valley QT just south of Liberty. They have some saws, but not many. Unless it's in the scrap bin, might as well not even ask. And there's nothing but old decks and bent mower blades in there. They are pretty reasonable overall. They're pretty much the only shop I know of that has fair prices and a clue. I think they're about the only non-stihl dealer around. Unless you head south a ways. But, I haven't been to every shop either.

I go to that QT all the time.

Don't speed if you are visiting. Pleasant Valley likes to write tickets.

A flat file works fine. You could also use any regular chain grinder with a stone dressed out flat, like I use to set depth gauges with. Question is: what craftsman was ever big enough to pull .404?
