What's on your bench

[stilh036prohog]

I was cleaning them up to put on the trading post. I got more.

Got the TS400 back together but it's not wanting to start. Should have compression since it has new piston and cylinder kit, new spark plug, I checked, it does have spark. I put a small amt. of fuel in sparkplug hole and still can't get it to hit. One thing I did was crank it over several times before I remembered to turn the switch to "on". Maybe I flooded it so I'm letting it sit for awhile, try again tomorrow.

Hold the throttle open with your foot and give a yank.

Well nothing is on the bench. I was going to start the 372 build again when the crank came in but I discovered the crank was toast, the seller is sending another one, the first one that came in had some marks where the seal and bearing sat and I mic'd it to find it was .0018/.0015 smaller on the PTO side and if I push by hand I can mount a bearing on it so now I have to wait for the second crank to show up.

I also need to tear into the first SEZ and replace the PTO bearing on it so I will have to order in a new set of bearings/gasket and seal for it when I get back into town, they are sending me back out of town next week and telling me it is only a week but that usually means three to four weeks. I also picked up a HDC-64 carb for the second SEZ I picked up, I still need to clean it up and replace all the hoses/lines.

Then I want to start in on the PM 555, trying to find a set of rings for it the cylinder looks fine but compression seems low. I want to replace all the gaskets/seals/rebuild carb then after that I will tear the PM 700 down and do a good cleaning and replace the seals/gasket/rebuild carb etc.

Worth a try. Since I've had some heart problems it's kinda hard for me to crank on it like I used to.

Older than the saw.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Doubt the saw was made before 1943....

I tried to start the TS400 again today and it's a no-go. This time it was no spark. I checked and the wire to the kill switch is grounded somewhere so I guess I'll have to remove the top again and see if I can find where it's shorted..I took the top part off the handle and couldn't make heads or tails out of the mess in there..I have a feeling that switch isn't hooked up to the kill circuit but don't know enough about it to know how it's supposed to be.

This one is going to the wood pile. Up next is the 026 but my guy me got a cheap Chinese carb with the air nozzle

Well, there is supposed to be a husky 350 on my bench but... its buried in all the tools! You guys have WAY too clean work benches!

 

[stilh036prohog]

We did have a hurricane or two.

 

[Yotaismygame]

Just finished this. Xt to OE . 190 comp not even broken in.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Bench is empty right now except for my MS280 which is awaiting an ignition module...then I'm gonna try to sell it. I think I may have a buyer...

Rebuilding and porting a 044 for a local tree guy. Has some sentimental value to him.

 

[Yotaismygame]

This saw made me realize I need a parts washer. I will definitely be buying one soon.

Look it’s white!

Bg 86 with bad crank bearing

This was under the bench at work, like so:
I dragged it out and re-assembled it on my bench:

Took it home and cleaned it up before I return it:
And was reminded of this vintage picture of a friend of a logger I know:

 

[ChoppyChoppy]

Parts to a power rake, winch parts, parts to one of the trucks, pile of tools I haven't put away, rags, dust, sawdust, black floaties from the torch, scraps of steel, couple chainsaws,

 

[buttercup]

Work bench chain sharpening tool; I am to make a completely new chain guide / fastening and adjusting fixture for it, it will become very high precision made from hardened aluminum alloy. The fixture/chain guide on the picture is the original one.



New vacuum press system I use for laminating and to eliminate bugs and worms in storm tilted milled wood;

The 044 is getting closer. Case is back together with new parts, and the porting is about half done.
