What's on your bench now?

Post up your projects.
A guy on ope forum sent me a nice condition 1994 272xp
And a very nice 1996 272xp The 94 just needed a ring the 96 ate the piston ring locating pin
Both are getting a hyway 272 popup piston
I built a 266 recently that runs excellent with one.
All that's left is crank seals I'll try to finish them today
Great saws and very easy to work on.

 

075AV
Needs new rubber, clutch ( this clutch has shoes and one has fallen off ) and I’m in the market for a new rear handle shroud. This one has a crack through at the AV mount.

 

Well this is what’s on my bench ,awaiting parts . Except for the 10-10 ,it’s awaiting a tear down . The P&C is scored . Need to find out how bad . But gotta get these other .saws gone first . They’re all cleaned ,and prepped for parts . Not accepting anything else until this is cleared . The good news is that the 031 ,and 10-10s are now mine , and when I fix that Timber Bear , it goes to someone else . 17+ pounds PHO ,and 60CC’s ..

 

what’s that Stihl in the second picture from the top?

 

031 AV . Just cleaned the jug , sanded the piston ,and put new rings in it today . Got a carb kit for it , and am awaiting some AV mounts .

 

Dibz on the 3400 variant.

 

Are those all keepers, or do you fix & flip, or do repairs for others? What is the Husqvarna in the second to last picture?

 

No!!! I do have a box of mini macs that I would be willing to part with . How about $20 plus shipping ?
I can’t afford to pay more than that right now ...

 

I’m keeping the 10-10s ,and the 031AV . They came in a pile of saws that a guy wanted rid of . I also got a Shindiawa 488 from the guy . All the other saws belong to other folks . The Husqvarna is a 142 needing an impulse tube , carb rebuild .
I get these things running for the cost of the parts . I don’t charge for labor , cleaning , or chain molesting . It’s a hobby ,and charging for labor would make it a job ...

 

If you ship them to PEI UPS collect you can learn new words and save money.

 

I would like to get a mini Mac for nostalgia reasons. 110 or 130 I think

 

1985 266 builder the previous owner junked the muffler threads.
So now it has a 268xp closed port cylinder and a hyway 268 popup piston
Excellent runner with just a muffler mod
Had to cut the top cover the front was broken.
That's the hardest thing to find for a 266.

 

I'll ask a logger friend if he knows of any.
Another friend was supposed to give me a 066
His elderly mother put it out on the curb with the trash
He had set it on the the trash can in the garage.
I always ran husqvarna since the 80s
I've used some stihl never kept any
Other than a 261 it's more husky like than the older stihls.

 

1986 266xp bone stock I just had to refresh it.
Carb kit,fuel line,crank seals etc.
After 34 year's and never being rebuilt
It still has 192# compression the aftermarket 268/272 mufflers are not the greatest they work ok.
But the 266 has a smaller muffler no longer available.
If you use the larger 268/272 muffler
It will melt the hard to find 266 topcover.
The aftermarket husqvarna 55 muffler fits perfectly.
And are extremely well made unlike the am 268/272 offerings.
This was actually a husqvarna update when the oem 266 mufflers dried up.

 

Stihl 038 I fixed for a neighbor
New fuel and pulse line's that's my 272 walks all over it
Lighter and more powerful
Waiting for a new am tank to arrive.

 

My nieces 93.00 belt didn't make it long
The pulley separated
Hopefully it's not destroyed
Most of the damage was to the backside of the belt.

 

Cliffs of insanity

Friend brought his uncles Jonsered CS2166 over. Not much to go one but it ran like chit
Obvious low compression was the first symptom. But would still start and run after tuning, as long as I didn’t use the decomp.

Found the clamp on the intake loose and then pulled the muffler.

 

It could easily be a 372xp oe 50mm

 

I’m trying to save the cylinder. But also looking at a meteor kit that covers 356/372 xtorq as well as 2166/2172.

what’s your thought on 372xp oe?
