Flogging begins! Hands down, our Echo weedwhacker was better than the Stihl FS85($$$) The Echo always started and will sling grass. But since a new carb was put on the stihl... it has regained some thumbs up. It has handle bars and will pull a blade nicely.
 
Finally got that errant nadian to be of some use today..
instead of trying to lead supper to freedom,,got him to herd them to the cook pot ! :)

Hey, Mr. Slug!
Would you be able to take a measurement off one of your 066 pistons (I am sure you have one wih the jug pulled somewhere... lol) I need to know the distance from the center of the pin to the top of the piston.

I have an idea for using one in my mac as a replacement piston. If that measurement is within ~1mm of 22, it will work. If it is I will just need to turn the skirt down a bit.

I can do that tomorrow !

I have two SRM-2100 trimmers and won't part with them. Love them.

Details later after I get done working with it.

Sent on the fly.

Now for the details.

Okay so here it is. $800 cash. I wanted to get it for $750 but felt it was a good enough deal for a 1 year old splitter barely used by a guy who was out of work. Here it would have costed me $1099 plus tax as hey are not on sale here. I wouldn't have bought the extended warranty but his buying it adds value to the deal for me so now I have some piece of mind.



Nice guy. His Dad used his John Deere tractor to load it into the back of my truck so I didn't have to tow it behind me for 70 miles home.

Likes: I can move it around with one hand unlike the heavier ones I've rented.
It's mine.
It has warranty.
It beats the absolute crap out splitting by hand.

Not sure about:
I seem to be able to bog it down kind of easy but was splitting red oak that's been dead for a while. I'll wait until I get it into some green wood and see.
Need to build a table for it.
Would like to be about 4-5" higher of a working plane horizontal.

Overall very happy:hmm3grin2orange:

I can do that tomorrow !

Thanks john!
I really hope it will work. I bet a meteor 066 piston would be far cheaper than a 60 year old NOS Mcculloch oversized piston...
The reason I would go with meteor is they make oversized 066 pistons.

Anyone know how much I could safely turn off the top of a meteor 066 piston? Like 1mm or 6mm?
I am thinking of getting the cylinder professionally over bored to 20 thou over. If my piston Idea works. A few outboard shops and machine shops around, hopefully one bores cylinders.
