Now that's a picture.
Maybe instead we can look forward to you riding around on an old Vespa while wearing Annie's hat. Ciao!!!
You talkin about this hat?

But a good one...:msp_smile:...CAD fever has struck again. I just got a 610 Echo on a BIN from Ebay @ $179 delivered! It seems complete but I doubt that it's a runner, however when added to my other 4 who knows??...
So how does it look? Just wondering if the echo twin arrived yet. Hope it's promising. Surely with 5 of them you could make a runner. What's the part that's hard to find with these? Or are they reliable? Hope I get to see it run!

It's tough finding any parts for the twins like the AF cover.
But it's easy to find the whole saw. :cool2:

Hey Sheldon......
It's here! Was as described by ebay seller, Just missing the oil tank cap, rear flywheel housing casting missing a piece where the plug wire comes out, no boots over the plugs, but very good compression on both cylinders when pulled over. I'm going to give it a shot of fuel and try to fire it up but that will likely be it for now. I expect it to run! As Ric has graphically pointed out these twins are out there. Pieces are hard to come by and the ignition pieces the most rare. I got lucky in that respect thru my contacts with RC fliers who snapped up the twins but used their own special ignition systems and was given some extras...... Good news and bad from here.....The Mitsubishi steering gear is on it's way and the tractor will be at work on the "Fair Grounds" next week,.......:msp_biggrin: the out door shower is a HOOT,.....:msp_wink: however it looks as if our septic system is going to need the leech lines redone..........:msp_scared: More to come.......Bob

Hell In Farleyville......
What a day....
.....Squirted some fuel mix into the 610.....No fire but still good compression. No problem. I have enough extras to make a nice runner of it! Just not right away. The steering gear for the Mitsubishi came and at first glance it seemed right. However in comparing the old with it, a bracket on the column was in the wrong place. DAMMMMMMMM.....said I. Well not to worry. I'll just take the new one apart and exchange the columns. Anyone know if there are odd or even numbers of loose balls on top and bottom of the steering shaft????? May have lost a few into the cracks of the firewood pile I was working on............ Once the mess was made I rechecked the bracket that caused me to jump on a change and found that it wasn't even used on my tractor. On either shaft. The new unit would have just bolted on, no problem! Now I am looking forward to an extra day counting and greasing balls......:bang: ( make of that statement whatever you wish. I have earned it!)................Bob

Don't forget to grease the shaft. Don't need to count the shafts though, just divide balls by two.

I just looked...the GTG is the weekend right after the big Memorial Day weekend:msp_mad::msp_mad: does not look good for me we're all on big camping trips...bummer
Terry...we'll be coming up 97 a couple of days before the GTG. If you still can't make it but want to ship some stuff to Farley we'd be glad to meet you somewhere and take care of it.

i'll hopefully be down to farlyville this week to drop off some goodies . looks like the weather will be nice. just make sure the tractor is good to go to unload.
I think I am going to guarantee that it will not rain. We'll see. The Pointy Trailer, or the Smelled Like Wet Dog Trailer has a window that needs resealing. So, I shall be spending $$$ on getting that fixed, and it will never rain on my trailer again.
I still have not tried to start up Old Sparkless since the weather has warmed up.

Dammmmm Terry.....
We are going to miss you and your saws almost as much as your cooking!!!!...:msp_wink:... Isn't there some way to work it out? How about camping on the banks of the Mckenzie. I can get you a nice spot right on the river with out house and hot shower...........Well I greased the balls but the tractor only got as far as out to the mail box before the steering went out again. Now it's in another set of hands. The rest of my bad luck is holding........Well pump went out because the pressure tank went bad, then the basement laundry sink overflowed with "STUFF" from the upstairs due to a clog between the house and the newly pumped septic tank. Sunday was the rooter at 7:30am and a new pressure tank by 2pm. Friday I get the new leech lines done....
...That cycle should be done!!!..........."T" came in with two more big logs today and the fairgrounds are getting better! There are some new photos on the Facebook page ( Pacific Northwest GTG ) check them out! Oh and SlowP, smelling a wet dog would be a refreshing change around here......................... Bob

Guess it"s time to.....
Bump this thing again.....:msp_smile:.... Leech line guys just left so that's a load off....Or at least a load that I know where it's going! "FarleyVille" Fair grounds are starting to look a little better and we should really get going on them this next few weeks. Just a reminder.....We have a gas BBQ, a regular Weber, and an old pressure tank BBQ for you to use if needed, The axe target is in good shape, the climbing trees await ( this years saw will be a twin trigger little Homelite ), the racing stands are still in good shape and there are some scores to settle, we have lots of wood for the fire pit, the shower is done and the camping areas are in good shape ( reserved and non). Those of you who have bigger rigs will use the field next to us and there is an out house there by the river with easy access to FarleyVille. The gas station in Cedar Flats sells "Clear" premium and that little restaurant is good. If your looking for a motel try the Village Inn first and stay away from the ones on Main Street, Springfield unless you have a good sense of adventure and humor! We are going to have a GREAT TIME!!!......Bob
