I can give you $50 and you hang on to them until I can afford to ship those big heavy things lol

There might be points if I have to float a loan [emoji12]

Good evening guys, and especially David! Good to see you back on here. Today was fun, as I went to a flea market and then worked the rest of the day at my job. Haven't looked through my haul (as one was a box buy) but so far I got some pretty cool stuff such as a 2 man felling saw, and ice axe, and some saw vices. No powersaws, although I am probably going to clean most of the stuff that I got in the box buy and resell it, for saw stuff of course. No pictures yet, but I will get some tomorrow when I can go through it. Going to hopefully finish the Mac 250 tomorrow, and at least get it running. Hopefully it won't need a carb kit, and all that will be left is a duckbill valve.

Well it time to hear all the booming going off for the night, they started an hour ago around my small town. May need to crank up an AK to get in on the fun or just fire up a loud saw.

Happy Independence Day! I'm headed in to work but I'm at least day shift!!

 

[Jackofall]

Happy fourth all! Remember, fireworks may be loud but so aren't chainsaws... plus they are more productive!

If only my Bicentennial was running [emoji22]. I'd have it riding shotgun with me at work today

Hope you are getting at least time and half today. Certainly helps to numb the pain of not getting to work on saws.

My goal for today is to get the Mac 250 running again. That one should be pretty loud with it's practically non-existent muffler. I try to say that the chainsaws are a productive project to my parent's, but they seem to believe otherwise. Probably because when I want to use a certain one, it decides it doesn't want to work that day lol.

Nope but I get holiday comp. major holidays are mandatory work weekends

Mystery solved of the strangely low use Mac 250. Got it all re-assembled and was working on starting it and was wondering why there was a puddle of fuel in the grass. Low and behold, when I picked it up, I found a pinhole in the tank bottom. Sad end to the day of wrenching.

These were the cool finds from the flea market. Bit of other junk also, but I got a lot of other good stuff for under $20 total.

Can you JB weld it or is the inside of the tank ate up.

I still thinking about how I am going to tackle it. The inside of the tank was mint. Only spot that has a little corrosion was on the oil pump. Might use JB weld, also might try to see if someone can weld it. Don't know how well the JB weld would work adhering on the case though.

If this hobby was easy everyone would be in it--David --on a positive note the internal bolts in fuel tank held and did not leak!! David

Small screw with sealant should do it
