What's on your bench

[ballisticdoughnut]

That looks amazingly similar to a 266 my brother sold, similar condition but a metal tank saw and not an anniversary edition.

Yeah I’m happy to finally have a 266. Been looking for a nice one for probably a year and a half.

at the small end of my workbench... an almost trashed 'gimme' hammer. just what i need, so it is in restoMod refurb... a hand me down, when a guy passed, so his best gave a load of tools to me. had sat in bottom of wet toolbox too long... but now is making a sweet hammer. will come in handy working barbed wire U's... or for what ever


hickory handle, head was rust red, head set wedges rusty bent nails. etc. watco dark walnut stain. varathane on that. more to come

Fixing up even an old hammer can be therapeutic. Glad not everyone throws out stuff because it's old.

Got an MS441 torn apart on my bench, waiting for a new slug and jug. Previous owner put a threaded insert in spark plug hole and it burnt up the piston before blowing the insert out. In the mean time, made a handle for my felling hatchet and then decided to fix a broken hatchet head and make a handle for it too! Made the handles out of hardwood pallets. Took a lot of time and effort, but why buy a handle?

Oh, the shame.

Those things don't fit on the bench nearly as well as a chainsaw..

plan to leave the head metal gray. and gave the handle another coat of watco. one more spot needs some glue. looking for my wedges... lol but i may make one out of wood all the same! thinking of filling the missing pcs of wood with epoxy. and some light brown touch up paint. however it turns out will be better than how i found it. besides, it is jut a utility hammer! but will be back in service again!!

266XP currently on the bench. Nice low hour unit. Getting new crank seals, o-rings, fuel hose, fuel filter, carb kit, and piston ring. Runs good but it is 30+ years old. Wanna make sure she’s mint.

thats, a real nice example!

Nothing wrong with having one of them on the bench, keeps things interesting, tidy example that one.

 

[shoshinjoe]

this beauty was running when i picked it up, but now wont start. Its got spark and compression. I thought i may have flooded it but no. I’ve just ordered a carb kit, and will give the carb a clean and rebuild when it arrives.

The bar has been horribly misused and wasnt adapted to the oiler slot. Im really hoping i can get this thing running again.

Baby steps today... waiting on wrist pin bearing and a few other small bits. Face ground the cyl riser on a granite block at work with 1500 grit. It truly was not straight and true! Used Mototseal for choice of sealant. Thankfully I remembered to install the ground strap last week as I did forget it when things got glued together yesterday!

Did some mowing in the backyard also.

Drug out the trusty old 310 for a Piltz dog upgrade tho...

Started working on another saw. It was impressive stock, I only hope I can improve it.

A local kid wanted 200.00 for a beat up 266 fullwrap that's crazy.
I'm a lefty but I just have them on a few of my saws cutting on steep hills here they are handy
So I just used this 575/576 fullwrap
This is my truck saw I use it constantly.
I put a hyway popup piston and a closed port 268 cylinder on it
Previous owner junked the cylinder
Strong saw.


All I had to do was bend the down tube towards the saw to fit the tank fastener holes and grind down the thickness of the tube to clear the clutch cover all existing holes lined up perfectly.

The 365/372 wraps are a little more work to make fit you have to cut the bottom weld to modify it or I just drilled a second mounting hole.
my 266 top cover was broke so I grafted the front off a am 272 cover on it.
I wish someone would make 266 top covers I need 4 or 5

Very nice saw
my favorite series I've run them since the 80s
I like the 266 the best
My stumpshot ported 266 has 220# comp
It's fun to start.
Year's back I found a nos 66 and a 266se with a half wrap
at a old saw shop he was a hoarder
He wouldn't let them go.

what is the catalog number of the twine holder? I would look for it at home because I have one saw that breaks my arm ;-) when starting
