Quick question, When repainting saws what works good for a clear coat? Something that protects the paint from gas and oil. I will be painting metal surfaces.

Yes, you will need a fuel resistant clear to finish the saw with

I was thinking today, I know, might get a migraine. Wonder how many old farm ponds have chainsaws in them. Bound to have pe-od some farmer off not wanting to start.

Steve

I'd imagine innumerable farmers over the years have said to themselves "If I cant get 'er started then Imma throw 'er in the ******' pond." So there's bound to have been quite a few that actually followed through with that statement.

Now my question is which saw(s) were most likely to have been given the oppurtunity 'to go for a swim.'

McCullough or McCussain

It also depends on what model you got, could be like buying a cheap weed eater.

Ran into some issues with the 1-86. Working on solutions as we speak.
Gear case is cracked and idler bracket is broken.
Explains why the case was packed with grease instead of gear oil.

He is doing well, he drops me a text every now and then. He has just been concentrating on the family.

We family too.

True lol, but he is one of those types that has to quit cold turkey from something, so that's why he hasn't been back on here because seeing us talk about it all the time would rekindle his desire to spend every moment he could on a saw lol

That looks sad, any way to get it welded up?

I want a 655 in the worst way. It would complete me.

Well the one bracket should be pretty easy to reweld (looks like steel I assume), and magnesium from what I understand isn't terribly hard to weld up, but most shops don't like taking it on because it's not something they do regularly. I would really like to get a ac tig setup sometime in the near future as well as some mag welding rods so I can tackle some of these repairs like you have here. I've bought a case or two when it could have been fixed with a little welding.
