There is also a lubricant called mouse milk. If that or Kroil doesn't work, then I usually have to get out the grinder.

BG penetrant is what we use now, cheaper.

Kroil is good for working on old guns, cleans out all kinds of gunk.

Or the torch

I think the test results from least effective to most effective on penetrating oils are Wd-40, PB blaster, liquid wrench, then kroil being the best but probably more expensive. I think I read that acetone and ATF mix is even better than kroil but is so strong it eats away at paint and rubber and plastic. I use wd40 for things like door hinges that squeak or small jobs. I use mostly PB blaster for other jobs and when things look real bad out comes the liquid wrench. Living in the rust belt I should try Kroil but haven't yet.

I've been doing some testing with the "seafoam deep creep". It's pretty decent. I've used those others and like them as well. It'd be fun to do a side by side. In fact I may try and do that. Any ideas from from y'all on a testing sequence that's repeatable?

You could try 8 different ones on a V8 with crusty spark plugs.

I'm guessing something like a few bolts and nuts in a piece of metal then tightened with a torque wrench. Then soak in salt water until rusted and use the oils then after the oils sit use the torque wrench and record numbers?

Try it on the exhaust studs on a 2011 up to 2015 Chevy truck when you got to drop the cats out. I use a torch on those so I'll have a fighting chance of getting them off with out too much damage.

My first vintage saw. I snagged her for $25 this evening on accident. I saw a small bit of the saw in the verrrrrry corner of a picture sent to me, of a string trimmer I wanted to buy. I asked about it and they brought the saw along too.

S10 top handle. Needs some love.

You've never owned a Mac 3214.

Welcome to the thread! And you buy one and it gets addicting!

And someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the S10 came in a top handle version, it was only rear handle but the s10 cover will fit in the Stihl 08s's which is most likely what kind of Saw that.

Well they shouldn't of put Mac on it. I do have a PM 605, now that saw cuts and runs great, just needs a bunch of helium balloons to help lug it around all day.

Those model Macs are like tanks but I never got them lol the powerhead weighs like 18lbs which makes the power to weight ratio absolutely horrible.

S10 did come in top handle. The top handle is the more coveted version of the s10

Great find and a great price. Let me know when you're ready to let go [emoji51]

 

[Kensie1988]

And I stand corrected, better for the OP then lol

 

[Kensie1988]

I just regurgitate what I hear and see, so I saw wrong lol

 

[LonestarStihl]

It's ok brother you're a homelite and jred guy at heart. But you've handled the Stihl and will soon be assimilated
