Yaaaaay boomer is back!

 

[Kensie1988]

Alot has transpired since you have been away, i think you are a couple hundred pages behind lol

Boomer is back! I haven't had much time to work on saws either lately. Done a better job of collecting them actually. If that creamsickle needs a new home away from all that Poulan goodness I'll gladly take care of him for awhile.

I know im way behind, the thread appears to have taken off like a rocketship lol.

Helped a buddy cut last weekend, had a 3400, 440 mag,070,p41, and my newest toy a ported husky 545 with autotune. Had fun minus the part where I almost got steamrolled by a cottonwood log, only bruised a leg but saved the 070 from getting the same steamroller treatment!

I picked up a 545 last weekend but it was blown up. I was super disappointed that it was blown up. The parts were more than I wanted to spend right now. So the saw is on the brown truck to a new home.

I tried to vacuum test my MS360 and my mityvac bit the dust. I need a new duckbill for it. Can mityvac parts be bought locally so I can have them this weekend? I pressure tested the saw with a garden sprayer and it passed.

There you go, save the saw first. Glad you weren't hurt too bad.

It depends on what you mean by "locally". Try looking here if there's somebody selling parts in your area: http://www.mityvac.com/pages/distributors.aspx

It seems Mityvac has been bought out and spare parts have become pretty pricey however... I need a converter valve for mine and I am having a tough time finding a rebuild kit for honest money.

Funny thing I just had to order a new leather for my snap on vacuum pump

Oh I would imagine it's all over the place lol. With all the sorts of stuff you can buy on amazon I don't know if I really want to see it all

Heyyy now it’s 51% clean and only 49% deviant. I keep a majority clean so I cannot be called into question as easily

I just have a saw list, nothing on Amazon.

No I've had it quite awhile, it's what I use at work not for saws
