Chainsaw Pics...

Squeezed in a trip to get some of the good stuff this AM. Ran like a champ.

 

do you have any light weight long sleeve shirts to wear while working around the affected wood? How about gloves? I like the cheap latex coated stretch ones. Enough dexterity and protection for the most part for me. Ive tried canvas/suede and the leather one. Too much sawdust gets in them and PITA to remove it from the fleece liner too. B$%&H to get off and on when sweaty.

 

I too use the latex coated ones, almost always and I had those on. It's still too hot to work in long sleeves. I did cut all the vines at the base in hopes to stop leave growth. I'll switch back to the pines for a while and see if they'll dry up a little.

 

Probably won't fire...Similar to the Wolverine's offense!!

 

glad you are seeing the light jason

 

Lol, I see a typical overweight still chainsaw.
Drove by this half a dozen times and decided to stop in. Hoped he had a square grinder! Not.

 

Better go shower.

 

lol a cold one ?

 

Yeth.

 

Those are beautiful pictures!

 

Thanks for that.
I count myself fortunate to be able to head out into the mountains here in BC. Lots to admire. Gives me plenty of opportunity to run whatever saws I want, whenever I want. Great therapy, wildlife and scenery.

 

What the heck...I enjoy running those 3000's.

Here is a longer session of that Poulan 3000 running through that Doug Fir last weekend. I have a few of the Canadian versions. They were (are) really great saws and one of the last original designs they introduced prior to E-Lux and their eventual demise. Introduced in 1987, they held their own in the 3 cube (49cc) class with admiration. I tend to go to them a lot more than my 026/260's in this weight class. Just because. Wearing a 16" modified k095 mount and a loop of micro (semi) chisel 21BPX in 0.325". Buried and plenty to spare. I tend to run them on the fat side to preserve them.



I probably posted this somewhere in FWH before. Some of the other 3000's I enjoy running.

 

I was doing my monthly routine of "put a splash of gas in all my outdoor power equipment that hasn't been run in 30 days and run them dry" today, and couldn't help but show a couple of the girls some wood.

346 & 372.

I knowingly speak blasphemy (as some on the forum would say) with this, but both of these ladies are bone stock, or natural.

 

Got this on Saturday, it runs. Someone gave it to me. Had to order a starter spring. It a Remington SL-9 chassis.

 

Those are scarce as hens teeth. Did it smoke a lot when you ran it? Here's it's big brother. 85 cc.

 

Nice

 

It smoked a bit. I've seen worse. Fortunately it wasn't sitting with a tank full of sludge. let it run briefly. Put some bar oil in it, went to start it again and the starter spring broke. Luckily I found a spring on ebay. I like the big brother

 

I'll have to do some research on that saw. We had to replace a duckbill valve in mine because it sucked bar oil into the cylinder. I have a repair manual but not sure if it covers your saw.

 

Nice! I like the old Remington saws a lot. At least the ones I've worked with, are very well built, easy to work on & lots of character. That spring should be easily available. It's the same spring for a number of older saws. I have the 68cc PL-5. Looking forward to doing a restoration on it one day.
