Cleaned that 61 some more and worked on the bar some. Put a different chain on it and cut up 2 truck loads of oak with it! Runs great! Now I know why I liked the old 162 so much, they are great running saws with wonderful balance. What an engineered saw!
Think I'll find a cleaner one on CL to convert and keep this one for firewood! Old Hungarian coal miner friend of mine out in the hills of SE Ohio used to say " Ain't how they look, it's how they run!" Old ****, God rest his soul, was right on!!

I got some more work done on that 015. I found the issue.... The case gasket had turned to goo. That explains the leaking oil and sucking air. I am going to call the owner and ask if he wants me to order a proper case gasket, and wait another week or so, or if he just wants me to glue it back together with permatex aircraft sealant, and get it to him this weekend.
Used up my first can of pizzoff. Very happy. I would still be on that can if I didn't use 1/4 of it on a paint compatibility test. (the results were that it eats rattle can paint, and won't touch proper paint)
The lawn didn't get finished.... The mower ran out of gas just before I started the front lawn... The whacker is out of gas too, and I don't have a single drop of gas left, mixed or straight...
Any thoughts on epoxy paint for saw restorations? I have had enough of rattle cans... I'm thinking either epoxy or real automotive lacquer. My dad is getting two new devillbiss guns for the tractor project, and he said I can borrow them. I have an old cheap gun for primer. I want something that gas won't harm, and will last more than a few months....

Certainly a good lesson for your daughter Robin , it keeps things real and is different than you telling her so .
Glad to hear she is pitbullesque (I mean that in a ......well you know what I mean LOL) .

I feel a bit stupid.... I thought this saw was an 015, But as soon as I googled the 015 to find some specs, I realized they looked nothing alike..... It turns out this saw is an 020av. I thought it was a bit odd how well built it seemed for a homeowners saw... Makes sense its a pro saw.

Interesting it will be
guy i have doing yard work,that got the job at the salvage yard had today off so worked for me..
said he pulled some saws for me..
took him into the shop and under to the scrap pile and pointed and kept saying as i pointed to homeowner stuff and unwanted kinds " any look like this ? " nope seems no cheapies.
looked at one old pioneer with 7/16 chain and said, " some have chains like this on it "
he said as far as he could tell all of em are all metal
interesting part was they came in a container box with a bunch of motorcycles and stuff like that from,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, CANADA !!!!
I messed up,,forgot to give him the money so he could bring them back satday..
30 saws for $25 i will take my chances ??

Could be a gold mine !
Never heard of 3 part urethane ? I only used 2 part stuff. Very good stuff ! Pricey as all get out too ! LOL
Very pricey stuff but will wear like iron. This stuff is used by the Coast Guard to paint navigation buoys and ship hulls.It is impervious to gasoline after it sets up for a couple days. There is even a epoxy primer used under it, I have painted maybe 20 saws with it and some of them are used a lot out in the woods.
Ron , sounds like John wants to be your new bestus of friends LOL
