Nope. Only way to shut it off it to stop the fuel supply

Need to install a kill switch on the panel, nice metal on/off.

Nah,
JD tractors are supposed to be set in such a way that when the throttle is pulled all the way back the butterfly closes and the tractor shuts off.

That's what I just read.

Yea I plan on rebuilding a couple saws this weekend, I got a piston and cylinder kit from Chainsawr, 90% of the time I’m happy with the product but I can’t say I’m super happy with the shape this piston is in, it’s got some scuffing on it but it looks pretty worn out.

What's that out of?

The good thing is the rings are still in good shape, no scoring or scratching on those or the cylinder so I’m hoping I will be ok.

Have you tried dimensioning the piston to see if something else will fit? Something that can still be bought new?

It's a 54mm piston which is same as a 288xp, 385xp, 066/660

What is the piston pin size on yours? The 288 and 385 take a 13mm pin I believe not sure on the 066

What does the piston and cylinder mic to?

Might be able to buff it out if you decide to run it.

A Mac 47 a Lancaster 40-IL a homelite 500 and a partner P26 scored this afternoon. Anyone want one? I'm not keeping them just rescuing them from the scrapyard.

I bought them from someone but if they didn't sell he was going to bring them to the scrapyard....

Got a bar for my 133 Super finally!

Here you go guys! It's cleaning up super nice so far and it doesn't look like it saw too much use. Figured out why it is missing the pull cord as the spool for it is JB welded together and the owner gave up on fixing it. I won't get to work on it this weekend, but it should run again easily with a couple of parts. Only other thing I saw, which is cosmetic, is the cracked clutch cover.

Anyone know what's different between the Homelite 350 and 360?

Not vintage but I finished putting this together and it ran good but I think I tuned it too rich and flooded it because it wouldn’t restart after I shut it off. It was putting out lotsa blue smoke. Hopefully I can cut some wood tomorrow with it and then list it. How bad does the 461 filter cover look on it? A China cover didn’t match the oem in color.

This is all we done today. Burned two today, 2 more to go. Gets kind of toasty on the bobcat keeping the pile pushed up.

That looks like an approved saftey none spill gas can we use but I use the two gallon model.

I believe that it the 350 was designed for cold weather, as there is a different air filter and some soft parts to direct warm air over the carb. I believe almost all the parts interchange between the two models.
