What's On Your Bench? 2/15/13

I'm working on finishing the drywall so that I can get this aquarium in place and finally get some water in it. This is what I'm putting all of my hobby money in right now. It's nice to have something that Anna and I can enjoy doing together.

Yes, it will be fresh water. In no way am I ready, or willing, to take on a salt water tank. I'm still undecided on what fish are going in it. I'm thinking Central/South American Cichlids right now.

Im familiar with tanks. Umm honestly grab a couple perch they're easy to maintain and are very attractive fish in clean water. Plus when they get to having babies you've got bait for trout lines since you probably don't noodle. Great bait fish. We had crappie and they did well.

P41 that I found on Craigslist yesterday It's covered with about a half inch of grime and the fuel lines and filter are shot,but it does have a good strong spark and a nearly new Windsor 20" bar and chain.

There's a Husqvarna on my bench now. Not the type of Husky that's usually on my bench (or this site). Wife's Husqvarna Viking Classica 100 sewing machine is stuck in reverse. Went all through it today and solved a couple issues.........but the feed pawls are still running the wrong way (although it's running much smoother/quieter now....LOL). Threw a whole afternoon at it......and am DONE. Those things are less fun to work on than a mini-mac (although much cleaner). It will go to the Husqvarna sewing machine shop on Monday....

On the bench I have an Earthquake that is getting a bit of port work and three bond for a base gasket, the big job is a New Holland skid steer that is getting a top to bottom service, including a chain case adjustment, all new fluids and filters and new grease fittings, including the installation of two additional ones in the bucket pivot area.

I've got the partner p7000 all tore apart and a new port job on it as it was a slow pig. P85 on the bench, it runs great even with much lower psi than the p7000. Haven't taken it apart yet, I don't know how far I'll go with it. My last one I'll get to is a husky 385. I just got in today Caber rings for all of them and a new piston for the p85. Won't be able to touch any of them until tuesday.

I kept freshwater fish for the better part of 20yrs. , of the Cichlids I liked the firemouth, really colorful and color patterns change according to temperament at a given moment, stay away from the Red Devil because it will be all you have left in the end, they get large and very agressive!!! and will wreck your tank decorations, oscars are cool but they poop like squirrels when they get big, I ended up keeping Angelfish in the end, they need soft water, if you dont have a python tank cleaning system yet then get one for the partial water changes and also some kind of water polisher to use after the partial change to get rid of the turbity and makes the water almost invisible, I just looked and I still have my python and system 1 polisher if you decide you need them then pm me.

Husky 261: new aftermarket p/c, crank seals still not running right. Very doggy. Carb adjustment does nothing.
Tried another carb and same thing.
Husky 272: friend brought it over. Runs away with it self. Sat over a year. Thinking its a carb issue.
Jred 630: new piston, intake block, gaskets. Runs doggy. All but dies with a 20" bar buried in oak. Time to play with the carb.
