Speaking of cut-off saws, this was one of my recent buys, Partner k700 off of ebay. Dad opened it earlier this week while I am away at school and said that it looked pretty good and looked low hour. I know nothing of it internally yet, but all that stuck out to me on the listing was the broken pull cord. Should be a good addition to the fleet, especially considering dad does construction and this will save him from renting the occasional demo saw. Spring break projects are piling up already.

I’ve had my eye out for a “good” deal on one. Aka a steal on a Stihl lol

Don't get me wrong, I love a stihl saw, but I'm not a huge fan of the prices for parts. Parts for the k700's are pretty cheap usually.

Brother has, if I'm not mistaken, a Partner k750, just replaced the topend, new cranks seals, belt pulley bearing. He's done put a lot of cutting hours on his, after the rebuild, says it has a lot of power now.

I got 293 pounds of chainsaws for $100. Mostly Stihl. Now I gotta at least sell enough to get money back.

The ts420 is toasted and was apparently left in the rain. I took apart the 028s and one had straight gas in the fuel tank.

Old vehicles can be really aggravating sometimes. Two weeks ago, my 1949 Ford would not start. I would turn the key and it would just click. I tried it yesterday, and it ran on gas in the carburetor, so I checked the fuel level and someone had stole my gas again. So I put some gas in it and it stared and ran perfect. I guess it doesn’t like the cold. I am going to have to get a locking gas cap for it.

Freakin thieves

Well Jonsered is officially gone out of Tractor Supply around here. I must’ve missed them selling off the jreds. Upset because they had a 2166 I would’ve liked to get at a great price

 

[95custmz]

Yep. I missed it too. The TSC here has Husky bars and chains but no saws, as of yet.

Biggest I saw was a 455rancher. The. There was a 440 and 235 or some junk

Order one online from TS while they still have them, may still get one cheaper being Husky is swapping the brand out.

Don’t you tell me what to do!!

 

[ML12]

I rebuilt this one, new everything basically. Seemed to run great after the rebuild, but I also go a TS350 at the same time that I rebuilt, so I sold the partner.

My brother's is the active II

Steve

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Yeah, I had dad take a pic of the SN and it is an active II as well. Does anyone know what the differences between the active II and III were? There couldn't have been many since most of the parts interchange.

 

[s sidewall]

Maybe the air filter setup was different.

Steve

 

[ML12]

This one takes air off the flywheel fan, directs it up a duct, then there is a multi-stage foam filter then a pleated paper filter. The carb is non-adjustable with a governor to speed limit it. Cases are weird (well compared to chainsaw cases anyways).

How fast should the pressure/vacuum numbers fall when doing a crankcase pressure/vacuum test? I know they shouldn't fall at all, but when I pump the crankcase up to 10PSI, it falls to about 8PSI within one minute. Same rate of change with the vacuum test. Is this an acceptable rate of change? Thanks.
