At this point, we may raise the deck on the swamp mower and level the cat tails ..

Looks like I'm patching my muck boots and going to look at some timber today. Hopefully worth bidding on.
Tore apart a 017 and no, the sleeve don't fit. Rats!
Off to Jack Horner with a grocery list.
066 parts circling the drain in Chicago.
Pulled the cylinder off MS440 #2 and it looks fine despite the piston lost part of the rind land and broken rings. Have to do the same on the MS460.

Sawing for Sanity
When I enlisted in '99 I went to school to be a Crew Chief on B-1b's. I loved and despised that airplane. Everyone ought to try replacing an APU or over-wing fairing seal, just for fun... The front windscreens were a peach too. That said, I loved being around it and after busting my ass for 10-12hrs to watch one blast off with 40-50' trails of flame coming out of the 102's it was gratifying. I do miss them ver much and would like to know how many that bled on have now dropped in anger...
Mine is similar but a bit different. There's and inert-only range near Salina, KS named Smoky Hill. It's one of the bigger range complexes in the mid-west. After the B.R.A.C. was over and we knew that we were losing the Bones, they did one final drop at smoky about a week before they left. The unit was invited out to see the drop along with family/friends due to that being the final farewell. The one I launched out that morning no. 86-115, was piloted by a friend/mentor of mine who was one of the best and most natural pilots I've ever seen. I asked him to give me one pass after the drops had been made in a N/S direction, cuing in on a small tower and my '85 Cutlass, as fast and low as the tower would allow.
The result was that after the drops, I watched him fly off into the distance and disappear. A bit later there was a speck on the horizon. It got bigger slowly and then much faster. When he passed over, the shockwave was building at the wing glove, tail root and the nose and there was NO sound. However tall telephone poles are, he was about twice that height. As he passed over, (low enough that I spotted a missing apex fastener in the tail)... When the sound finally caught up, it caused a mild heart arrhythmia and my chest felt like it was in an earthquake. That was something I'll never forget.

I don't think I've ever seen a bigger pile of Super 2 parts.

That is not all!
There are a few more
You need to find a twelve to fourteen year old eager to learn (and wash parts).

She is 7 lol.
Good news is, the 028 runs and don't leak fuel.
Bad news is the freakin' oil tank leaks.[emoji35]
Now I have two cardinal rules for tinkering saws.
#1 is always, always dump the fuel out of a 'new to you' saw!!
#2 is check for tank leaks!!!

Somebody a couple weeks ago was talking about wanting a John Deere 140, I think. There's a real nice one posted in one of the Facebook Groups that I look at. It's located in Linn, MO

If you don't have an account, I can pull down the pics and details and repost them here. Just let me know.

Not a thing wrong with the fuel tank. It works just fine.
The oil tank, which is part of the crankcase, is leaking somewhere. Hopefully at the vent but with my luck it will be the seam.

Carl, I started out in an 81mm straight leg unit. When the Humvee was being tested/evaluated, our unit was chosen to be one of the test units & became motorized. Later I was in a mechanized/tracked 4.2" mortar unit. While everyone spends time on gun crews, most of my time was spent in the FDC section.
Dad was stationed at Andrews, AFB in the mid 60's. It was not common for there to be some pilot ready to get out of the military to do a sonic boom pass every 4-6 months. You learned not to put fragile items on shelves pretty quick. Yes, it was a big no-no even back then.
A-10's at a firing range are mighty impressive! "Brrt", (1 sec), is all it took for the vulcan gatling gun to fire 100 rounds of 20mm.
Our son just graduated from flight school at Vance, AFB, OK in February & will be starting flight school for C-130-J's in July.

Alright carl, ya I know oil tank is part of the crank case, lol. Just wanted to make sure no fuel was in there. I also have the crank case , it's yours if you need it. Rough as a cobb. Not a speck of paint on the front. But I don't thank it leaks. Let me know.
Just finished cleaning up the 'extra' MS440 crankcase assembly for Jim.
Will next see where the oil tank vent is on the 028. Havn't found it so far.
Edit: found the oil tank vent at the bar mount. Back flushed it with carb cleaner. Filled it with mineral spirits and no leak.
Refill him with oil and sit overnight in a plastic tub.
Maybe OK after all.[emoji11]
