Well guys, I finished putting together a 460 today from my collection of parts. I need a wrap handle which is on the way. The 440 on the recoil looks funny tho.

I changed out the coil on my pro Mac 700 and it finally ran but it needs a little adjustment. I decided to try my luck a little more with my olympyk 251 that wouldn't run after a carburetor rebuild, so I grabbed another spark plug out of my box of plugs and swapped them out and it ran too. It just needs a little adjustment.

And I started on another 460 build. I had a pretty good day working on saws.

Awesome job on the build. Still waiting on a handlebar?

Thanks, I'm still waiting. I decided to try a huztl handle. This saw got new aftermarket bearings, new aftermarket crank seals, new aftermarket carburetor and air filter. New Caber rings, new OEM compression release and a new aftermarket recoil starter.

I like the vintage ingersaul rand impact--looks well made--I collect the old all metal case Milwaukee electric drills + other brands . Good news ---Scored a little Mcculloch 130(2 cubic inch) with case. All oily but clean low hour saw. Runs good-needs carb kit . Finally made up a dedicated fuel/oil mix squirt oil can--works great for priming saws as oposed to pouring gas in a old soup can and dumping it in. LOL

Look what I just did! I think it's super neat. View attachment 547800

That bow looks good and fun to cut with to

I keep my priming gas in an old soy sauce bottle, flippy cap and everything.

Very nice. Full wrap or standard? I'm impressed by the full build

I remember a long discussion at the dinner table between mom and dad. That electric impact wrench cost a week's take home pay back then.

But, dad worked at an Oldsmobile dealer and they figured it would help him beat 'flat rate'.

It's a standard handle. It's not too bad once you get one under your belt. It really helps to use a press for the bearings. And be sure to re-install the oil pump before pressing in the bearings. And use a socket and a large washer to drive in the clutch side seal. It's not too bad. You should build you one. It's fun.

I think I'd like to eventually

 

[46 Poulan]

I went to a local dealer--been buying small stuff and talking to old parts guy about old saws etc. Today manager was there and overhears us talking about some saws and ask about scrap saws.Takes me back in the shop ----------3 Stihls --I look at them--ended up with a MS 390 gaulded piston but pulls over-20 inch bar no chain. Got home tried to start--It ran.. So I am looking for a p and c kit. Lotta plastic but at a good price I came out alright Best part I have a solid contact

@LonestarStihl if you wanted to build a 460, theres a guy in the trading post that has one, needs a tank/rear handle but was running you could pick it up reasonable.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've bought tools that were more than a weeks pay, but it's a whole different game when you are trying to support a family at the same time

Wrong timing unfortunately right now. Currently saving for a good running 046

 

[Boomer 87]

Ok i didnt know you wanted it to be a 046 specifically

Is that your 3-10 under the table? What are you going to do about the bull frog carb

Doesn't have to be. But I have one lined up already. Project build will be after and I don't know what it'll be yet

Yeah, I'm really afraid of what trouble I could get into if I asked about scrap saws at my dealer. I wouldn't mind so much if I actually had a use for saws, more than the occasional trimming.

The saw ran good about a year ago and then it quit. I saw the bullfrog kits on eBay for like $30 plus shipping. I'm hoping the diaphragms are okay and I can get away with just cleaning it. It was my dads saw but he gave it to me.
