You want to practice some more sandblasting and painting a case on a 440? I'll pay shipping to and from.:hmm3grin2orange:

Hope to do something with my 440 this spring but not to this extent.

Your saw is looking great. Thanks for the pics to show your work.

If i only had that much free time, i would consider it for a fair price.

Guna have to make a thread and post pictures

Got alot done on the saw today. cleaned up all the plastics except the tank handle. Sandblast first, then 320 wet sand, 5min in oven at 175, fisrt coat 5 min in oven, second coat 5 in oven, wetsand 600, 1 or 2 more coats final in oven for 10 min. Works great and looks good.
If you don't 600 wet sand the finish is rougher but still good
i also wet-sanded the filter ocver

To get the grip off, do you think you can sneak in the wd40 straw tube that comes with the can and squirt some in. Work it to the middle from both ends and slide it off.

To reinstall I don't know if hair spray or spray adhesive on the tube and inside the grip would work.

BTW, it looks great with the bar the way it is if you decide not to pull grip off. A little touch up with the rattle can and it will look just fine to me.

Snow has been coming down since about 1pm. there is about 8-10 so far.

If you really wanted to get the grip off a little bit of compressed air with oil combo on the ends will probably loosen up the grip enough to remove. Don't know if too much pressure of air will rip apart the grip though.

Heat the handle in VERY HOT water (bathtub or big sink), the hotter the better. Tube should slide off fairly easy. Heat rubber tube, only, to install.

do you got a pic off the tool that you pulled the case together with??

very cool build matt you rock

 

[matt9923]

Just use a sleeve or washers with the clutch spider to pull the crank to the clutch-side. then just evenly bolt the flywheel side on, you can also use the same washer method on this side. just got slow and keep everything even.
