What's on your bench now?

Still have 10 more 372xps to figure out what's wrong with them. 4 backpack leaf blowers, an 028 I bought to restore for a neighbor (needs new spur sprocket, inner plate shield, chain catch, new bar and chain, new air filter, new plug) , and an 029 I'm keeping for myself that I haven't looked at hard yet.

 

Serviced these stihls for a friend
A 290 and 310
I put a new .325 sprocket and chain on the 290
And 3/8 on the 310 and new bar and chain.
And cleaned and tuned them
He bought me one of these for my trouble
Handy little saw
I ordered another for my friend after he tried it for a utv saw.

 

91 year old neighbor dropped off a 170
Said it wouldn't run
He'd put bar oil in the gas tank
And gas in the oil tank
Easy fix I dropped it off on his atv.

 

Darn… hate when that happens!

 

A 575/576 fullwrap is easy to fit to a 266/268/272
The 365/372 wraps are easy to fit also but you have to drill a new bottom fastener hole.
You just have to bend the down tube towards the saw
And grind off some of it's thickness
So the clutch cover will fit over the bar.
All existing fastener holes line up great
No need to drill any new holes.
I had to cut a piece off a am 272 top cover to fix my broken 266 cover.

 

That’s some good info right there

 

I don't have fullwraps on all my saws
of course just a few of my falling saws
this is my heavily used
truck saw
I use it more than any of my saws
This is before I ground the thickness of the down tube down
For clutch cover clearance.
Some kid wanted 200.00 for a beat up oem 266 fullwrap
that's crazy.
I have a few oem wraps
But I actually prefer these oem 365/272 575/576
30/40.00 wraps.

 

350
New seals, intake and clamp.
New to us p/c. With some grinding under the transfer caps

 

M2theB what kind of sealer are you using.

 

No pictures but, presently on my bench (reloading) are another 1000 .223 cases being prepped for reloading. Never have enough, I say.

 

Far as sealer goes, I've gotten away from the box store stuff and went to Kubota 3 bond sealer, it's good stuff but only available at a Kubota tractor dealer. That and Detroit Diesel Anaerobic sealer.

 

272XP

Glad I checked the gasket.

 

Yep that is for sure. That would have could for another tear down.

 

Except for the brake build, bolt it together.

 

Mostly off the bench.
Been flicking around with the oiler.
Finally found the suction side of the pump was packed with tank chit.
Cleaned it up and it oils great.

still need to move the brake to a new clutch cover and deal with a wonky pull start.

Carb clean and kit
New piston and ring
Transfer removed from cylinder
Plug wire
Crank seals
Clutch, drum and bearing
Lots of cleaning.
Got about $140 into it, including original purchase price

 

Sounds like a solid 272

 

you guys are living in the past....

 

Yep and some of us like it that way.
