When motorized saws first came out they had to be better than a 2 man crosscut and an axe, but not by much.

Doing a good job. Much more ability and patience I have.

Thanks, the mechanics are easier than you'd think on these old machines. This one is one of the first 100 off the line in august of 63 when they changed the body to the square nose style. Between that and the usefulness of this little tractor I think she is worth bringing back to her former glory.

My Saturday consisted of work but only because I was at work. Other than that we didn't do a thing yesterday. Today is supposed to be busy though

I'm just keeping them close in hopes that the orange will rub off

My old place of business, a military lithium battery manufacturer was throwing the arbor press away, I asked and received! Even got help loading it in the truck.

Those are good presses, always seeing them in old service manuals.

It'd be much better if the Orange ran off and they all turned yellow

Since when did you start liking all the yellow ones? Did someone let you touch a sp125?

The yellow I was referring to there was John Deere yellow but I do have a pm700 and 10-10 for the other yellow

You'd probably never see this on a vintage chainsaw.
Stihl MS261
Exhaust Side:

Intake side:

The cylinder looks perfect. Meteor or OEM. That is the question.

You mean oem or meteor piston to replace it? Stihl oem piston kits have come down, check with @Definitive Dave

As for that piston, weird break

$38 for meteor, $46 for oem. The oem may be cheaper at the dealer.
That piston is super thin and I think a different alloy than the ones from the old saws. If it would have broke, then it probably would have scored the cylinder. I've never seen a cracked skirt before. Also I can tell that someone has had it apart as there is a tiny indention from a piston stop and the holes for the puller were stripped on the flywheel. The piston was oem. Maybe a factory defect.

Piston looks almost unused minus the crack. Low mileage saw?
