Vintage Chainsaw Collectors Lounge

Do you have pictures? I might want to rebuild it if you don't want it?

I've dissembled the saw and the cylinder/ piston is a huge mass of white corrosion. The saw was too rough to fix.

Sad sad day, such a shame...

So is a chain supposed to be a little snug when the chain and bar are new

Do you mean the chain doesn't want to go down in the slot ? It may be snugger than used but you shouldnt have to force it into the slot.

 

[Kensie1988]

No, it's just when I check tension it's about right when I pull the chain out and it snaps back, it's just kinda stiff it feels when I pull the chain down the bar

If you haven't run the chain yet, I see that as normal. They seem to slide down the rails a little rough when new.

Just make sure your holding up on the end of the bar, when you tension the chain, otherwise it will come loose immediately when you put it to wood

Yep, I was holding it up by the nose when I tensioned it, that bar was one of the most difficult I have ever put on.

Cumbersome ain't it? If you don't mind me asking how much did that run ya, It was a 32 right?

 

[Kensie1988]

Yep, with the 32" bar and the Oregon chain to go with it, from Baileys it clocked in at $191.98, that's shipping included. 32" bars are just pricey in general, that was only about $30-$40 more than any other bar except Stihl, then it was only like $15 more.

I'm probably crazy for paying that much for it but that Sugi Hara is so pretty...

 

[Kensie1988]

@brandonstc6 that muffler will most definitely fit my Dayton.

If you're happy that's all that matters. I got my 36" used for $50 but that's used and it was a good deal. Caught the guy off guard asking to throw a price on it [emoji57]

 

[Kensie1988]

So I wanted to ask you guys, I've been thinking of changing the name of the thread to more of a lounge title for Chainsaw collectors, since that already what we are kinda doing in here. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Boomer 87]

i didnt even know you could change the title

 

[Kensie1988]

Yep, it's under thread tools.

 

[Boomer 87]

Hmmmm. Ill have to think on that, what was you thinking?

 

[Kensie1988]

Maybe "Chainsaw Collectors Corner" or "The Collectors Lounge" something like that.

 

[LonestarStihl]

As long as we have t-shirts made...

Already a collecters corner, its under hot saws I think
