"You Suck" Thread 2023"--Pics required!

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

if less than 3C given , stolen .

Are you trying to say the saw was stolen and flipped?

I think not being the owner retired from the same union I did and he isnt hurting for money to stoop low like alot of pos folks in this world.
Man you should see where he lives back in the middle of no where. Beautiful spot with woods surrounding land and pond.

Some things I did go in and fix along with a deep cleaning.

Way to go Bob!!

150€ plus shipping. Do I suck? Follow up question: how do I use half of the tools in there?

 

[JoeMay]

Jackpot

Thanks, I think so too. Just checked: I'm missing a piston stop - which I wouldn't use anyways - , a puller for 015s which I didn't miss the last time I disassembled one and one M5 screw. Gonna learn how to set the timing on my points and condenser 031, now that I have the tools

 

[Tim Carroll]

Free to me Pioneer 1074. Runs good but had to get correct chain for it, somebody put wrong gauge chain on and it cut like crap. She's cutting pretty good for a little saw with correct chain.

 

[Tim Kerns]

Thats one funky pull handle.....

It might be overkill for a 1 hp engine, but I'll bet it's functional as all get out!

Danke.


Graz um genau zu sein. Davor Wien.
Hab sofort zugeschlagen als ich das Set gesehen hab. Nicht lang verhandelt, gleich gekauft.

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

Graz to be precise. Before that, Vienna. I snapped it up as soon as I saw the set. Didn't negotiate for long, bought straight away.

The country of Stubai and Müller, 2 manufacturers I've been looking into recently . I've been there a few times, but that's a decade or 2 ago.

Already bought an Ochsenkopf splitting axe, from Germany, trying to add some quality European made axes, splitting axes, mauls, ... to my inventory (well, I hope they are effectively all made in-country, it's what they claim in any case).
Funny how they include what they call 'Canadian style' axes, double heads for example, in their inventory, but also how Müller has an 'Ardennes' (south part of my country) style axe on offer:

On topic: not sure if it qualifies for this thread, but a few days ago I picked up an 034 for €80. Wanted an 036 or 034 super, but anyway, I could convert it, especially if the cylinder is bad. No b/c, saw doesn't start, and a little crack in the exhaust. Motor turns freely though and compression seems to be really quite ok. Wonder what the insides will look like .

Nothing special to see, but I'll try to take some pics later .
Maybe with the cylinder removed, but I have to find time to work on it first.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to spend most of a day's time on my job, and be able to work on my own projects all day long, but I guess I'm not the only one with that sentiment .

Edit: nice to see some/more European folks here. I've been to Poland once, roadtrip from north to south (Baltic sea, Malbork Castle, Warszawa, Kraków, and so, so much more...). Really nice country!

Have you ever tried one of the "ardennen" style axes? Almost looks like a pickaroon.

No I haven't, but I'd sure like to. In fact, I go on holiday to the Ardennes (which is a region in the south of Belgium, in the French speaking part) most years, in a cabin or camping, and a guy living there gave me such an axe head, made by a blacksmith from a village nearby:


(seems like I should have positioned that measure better, but anyway)




Seems like it was repaired (the weld).
Still have to try and make a handle for it, can't find one commercially. Gotta source some ash first, though.

They were the typical felling axes of that region:




'Bûcheron' means lumberjack, 'Meuse' is a river ('Maas' in my language).

There was also a smaller version, used by climbers: https://www.mot.be/resource/Tool/topping-axe?lang=en

So, I quickly cleaned and blew off the saw and started to take it apart... things aren't great, but that's always the risk you take, buying a cheap saw 'as is'.

Piston is toast, exhaust side is bad, rings completely stuck:



Weird that when doing a drop test, the compression didn't seem to be too bad. The cylinder was quite greasy, maybe that made a difference?

I might be able to salvage the (Mahle) cylinder, but i'm not sure... it doesn't exactly look great:





My experience is limited, but I haven't seen an exhaust design like this one yet:



The crack in the front part:



Some more pics:






I think the carb is an aftermarket one, still have to remove it. The air filter, of the mesh type, is black, I'm guessing that's aftermarket too, as far as I know the Stihl ones are white.

If I can't clean up the cylinder, I'm probably gonna buy an 036 Meteor or Highway cylinder for it... Obviously gotta pressure/vac test it too, quite a chance it has a leak (unless you can get such damage by running it with too lean carb settings and/or a dull chain?). The metal collar around the intake boot was quite loose, so I'm hoping that if there's a leak, it's there .

Get the part number, and pump it into the internet, especially ebay.

Since we are still using this old thread for 2024.

I won this mildly ported husqvarna 359 for Veterans day drawing of chainsaws being given away by Shawn B. in Arkansas. On Facebook group.

There was like 5 ported saws being given away to vets in the FB group.

My name was never drawn but won this out of default the last saw left.

How it worked if name drawn. You won this saw but can take another saw behind A B C D. Sort of like lets make a deal game show. I was last guy not picked and I got last saw left.

Corey the porter of the 359 is one of the trusted porters in my CRG FB too. He told me this saw was built mild per owners wanting a not real high psi work saw. So only about half the squish and base was removed compared to what was normally done. Per Corey.
