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.

Here's this evening's project. I have way to many hours into this garbage axe. Would have been better off buying something better to begin with. But it's tool late for that. Progress on the oak haft.

I was slowed down because I'm watching Grim

Crap, missed Grim again. Oh well, watching a good western.

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 agree Kroil works great. I used it on some manifold bolts on my dads 1948 ford truck. I have not used the ATF/acetone mix. I looked in the plug hole and it looks pretty good inside so I figured that it wasn't bad stuck. I soaked it in PB blaster overnight and carefully pulled on the starter rope and the piston moved and it moves freely now. I still need to pull the jug and clean it out. I think the saw is going to okay. I probably should do bearings and seals on it.

I've had good luck with marvel mystery oil too

I have a saw that looks exactly like the S-10 in question but I am not sure if it really is a S-10.

It ran well for the demo before the sale. I was surprised how quiet it is. I'm used to all the Honda's around here having a 4" exhaust outlet lol...

It's going to get beheaded and when it wakes back up, it'll be rocking a chainsaw on the end. I bought it purposely to be a pole saw. I just need to find a donor.

That was a great show. Watched it completely online. Amazon has all but the last season on prime. The NBC or whatever has it for free on their site

Post it up and let's see if we can't pick it apart. Kensie was right that the S10 parts were used on the 08 plenty naming it confusing

 

[brandonstc6]

08s and S10 side by side

I'm not sure what I'll be doing with the S10. She's unfortunately a likely shelf queen.

Beyond really rough paint, there's a fin missing from the recoil start, and the nub for the front handle must have sheared at some point. Someone welded it back and it needs either a fancy grinding job to clean up the gas tank, or a new tank altogether.

It's missing the kill switch, and it had two years ago's fuel still in the tank... full.

I'll have to find it but I do have a nice gas tank top somewhere that says S-10.

Huztl pole saw. Think it was $60 shipped to my door. Excellent quality, aside from the cheap chain adjuster.

Nice! I have a fond place in my heart for electrician's knives especially.
