Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

The only home owner Stihl I don't mind are the 025's. They do ok for what they are. There is a 390 in my shop that a guy dropped off and to me it's a complete pile, I was happy to condemn it.

The 029/290s are very heavy for what they are ? Not real sure why they are so heavy ? Very little different than a wildthingy,and 5 times the price ! LOL
But people sure like them ?????? I sell everyone I put together easy as can be ? LOL

The Husky 455 is the same way ,heavy for what you get ! But it is a strato motor,better on fuel than the 290. Not a better saw,they are equal in every way.

And they are both called farm use saws. :msp_razz: Nothing but total BS ! LOL

Don't care for either one of them , but they sell good ! :msp_w00t:

I just condemned a mini mac !! LOL !!

starter pawl spring broke,,nope,noway gona take it ALL apart to replace the flywheel then try to get it together with everything lined up and all.. CHIT !

They are the worst saw ever made !! I refuse to ever work on another one ! :msp_razz:

Bet yer meen as Ron !

Didn't even hug it did ya !


:msp_unsure:

 

[BigDaddyR]

Nope no hug from me. I didn't kill it. Got water in the crotch and rotted and a wind took it out. Neighbor paid a guy to get it down and I got him to block it to 16's. saved him the dump fee. Hugged it with my hands while running each piece through the splitter

Poor Burt is loaded down. Time for a break and cut the guys grass. Not charging him for this week. Figured it the least I can do for him making the wood easy for me to get.

I have been searching up and reading threads about the Contra`s all day, haven`t done nothing else. Guess the S model is somewhat collectible. No to find parts, the search begins again......LOL

 

[IEL]

Good today. I brought home more free crap as always. I picked up my homie 7-19, its definatly a parts saw. I also got another misery whip. (and I am likely the only one in my generation who knows how to sharpen one... LOL)
Also picked up another gasoline blow torch, two more big soldering coppers (one is atleast a pound, maybe two!) Also got a free bar of 40/60 solder, I am planning on ordering a big box of it.

In other news, I have been invited to ride in the 1970 international fire truck for the canada day parade. Front seat running lights and sirens. He said he would let me drive it when we are back at the museum.
I am also going to be making some copper strainer baskets for the fire pumps. As the only pond is quite dirty, I have to build them with double baskets. Reminds me, I need more flux. Doing it old school with gasoline torch, two big azz coppers and a solder bar.

I feel for you John. Weather has had pop layed up for a few days. He went with me to get carport this a.m and we finally got tranny out of the Bota! yay! hahah. Now time for a teardown. Im kinda scared.
Carport is home, but we spent a hour tryin to decide where to put it so we wouldnt get in trouble when Mom comes home left it on the trailer and gonna try to start the 30x40 lean too soon. Gotta get trucks, tractors, trailers outta sight!
