I am BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday night 10.00 pm we had a tornado come through--My 1st ever--Power off at my house 3 days--Many will be off 1 more week . My house undamaged but Trees down all over city-Roads-alleys-structures badly hit. I got up tuesday morning- Got my chaps on and cleared downed trees on my street . Got to tear into another big pine till city came in with saw and backhoe--I was ready to rest-590 Echo cut well. Went to lowes today for supplies--All gas saws gone + lots of bars, chains and chaps etc. Met a guy does small engine work on the side. Says he has a couple old saws he wants to give me. I cannot help myself!!!

Praying for you and everyone effected. Hope everything gets up and running quickly and hopefully no major injuries.

On the flywheel side the crankshaft should taper up, so the seal gradually slides on on the pto side theres a definite ledge on the crank you have to jump the seal over

 

[Boomer 87]

I as well will be praying for everyone affected, and just so your aware i pray better than my brother

Glad you are ok. Praying for your community. At least you were prepared with saws. I like to keep one ready to roll at a moments notice. Also I've to hear you may have a couple freebies coming to you

 

[Boomer 87]

I actually keep a saw in both trucks, youd be suprised how many times i grab one

I don't have a toolbox in mine yet. Afraid one would get snatched without that. Once I get the Dolmar running I plan to make it a truck saw. Or whatever else possibly comes my way never know

 

[Boomer 87]

Mine go in the toolbox for sure gotta poulan 2700 in one and had a husky 460 on the other

 

[astnmacgto]

Gotta poulan 255 in mine

Very nice. Either way I don't want it to be too valuable. At least in my eyes. Not a big dolmar guy. But I may end up putting the husky 450 or a buy a ms250 or 290 used

If you can see light scratches on the piston should you pull the piston an jug and make sure everything is ok?

I would pull it and clean and de-carbon everything. What saw is it?

It is both my 306a and Dayton.

 

[brandonstc6]

If it looks like there is a ton of carbon buildup then I probably would. Other people will probably voice their opinion soon
