What are y'all working on today?

All back together minus the plastic cover.


I also thought about it and the rear O2 upstream sensor had a bad heater in it for like 4 years so I went this mourning and got it to replace while the manifold was off and its easy to get from the top side.

 

I got my garage all cleaned up and re organized. Plus I won the final $100 in my fantasy football league at work. I won $350 between last week and this week.

Nice huh? Here's my grandpa's old stihl top handle. I'll give her a rip tomorrow and see if she starts.

If she goes, I'll see how sharp the chain is and cut a few of my long pieces of wood down to 17", or maybe just in half to make it easy. Most of the long pieces are 22-24"

 

I think scotty has a bunch of those!

I have endended up with three 009 saws. One I bought flipped and ended back up with bit when it was loaned and destroyed. Uses it as a parts unit to fix mine I use. I still have one in a case that I need to fix. I got it for like $25. Gonna use the parts saw to fix the other one.

 

Changed the oil in my new to me Ford F250 4x4 also changed oil and air filter in my Toyota Corolla. Just a bit cold in the garage 22f with the door open.

 

That's a beaut! They don't make em like that anymore.

 

Cleaned up some saws, sharpened some chains and played with the 288xp today. See how filthy they are.

 

Looks like a nice black locust round to me. Maybe honey??

 

Hedge Apple... My favorite.

 

Those are truly foul! You really aught to clean them once in awhile.

I love apple too! Funny thing is around here people think it's junk. I just laugh all the way home when I find it!

 

Just got an 029 Super back together and running . Got it free with a smoked piston worn out bar ,chain ,and sprocket ,leaking fuel and oil ,completely clogged air filter ,trashed muffler ,and a few other things . It is now a 039/390 ,all new lines filters ,b&c (.325 nk 8t sprocket ) ,and whatever else it needed . Turns 13,200 at a slightly fat tune . Painted it black / forest green NATO colors ,then a couple of coats of polyurethane . Pics in a bit . Gonna go play with it .

 

The carb on my daily use 200T started acting up on Monday. So this morning before I went to work I pulled one off one of the other 200's that is leaking oil and swapped them out. Runs like a champ again.

Sorry. No pics. It was 5:30 and I was just barely awake.

 

Yet you were working on saws! You sir are eat up with it.

 

so ...you work on saws in your sleep...

 

Almost. The sun wasn't even up yet.

 

Pics of the 029/390,as promised .As you can see it was somewhat worn out and neglected . Didn't do pics of the original plastics but they were rough .

 

Todays project
Cleaning up Ruger's hoard. He cannot go out without bringing back a stick
Yes, thats a bucket and the scabbard for my saw



Ruger getting ready for a campfire...getting the teepee started


Yes everything in this wagon was brought in by the dog


He is addicted to wood...I don't know where he got that from

 

Is that drywall screw in a pic what you used to pull the limiters?

They changed angle of the outlet on that exhaust diverter shield on those aftermarket mufflers.

 

Yep that's what I used . As to the muffler ,yes it's got a different angle on the diverter than the 029 had . But, I've seen the angled diverter on newr 1127 saws . It and the muffler are also opened up a bit to let the evil spirits escape quicker as well .

 

Decided to replace the carb on a 028av Super that was given to me. Original owner had it about 25 years and got tired of the blood letting he gets from the local dealer on annual tune ups. Eventually they gave him the "better to just get a new saw" talk and sold him a Homeowner line saw- I think a 211.
I put a piston and rings in it , but could have gotten away with just rings. Carb was finicky, needed adjustments about every time out. Drive sprocket was badly worn so I did a rim sprocket conversion. After a new bar I decided it was time to go all in. I haven't had much luck with rebuilding so I bought a replacement carb. Starts and runs like a charm- hope to get some cutting done this week.

 

I have a Husqvarna K960 cut off saw that I tore down back in November 2015 and installed a new crank shaft, new bearings and seals. Also put new rings on it while tore down.
Then that is as far as I got until today. I put the cylinder back on and got it all put back together. Saw starts, runs and idles good. I just need a diamond blade for it now to cut some concrete.
It took more time to clean all the parts then it did to put them back on.
