Happy New Year everyone!🎉 Last saw of the year... :)

Do you think the E Hoes will be better in 2026?

Looking forward to when we can talk saw stuff again. Best healing wishes for you and may you get well soon.

Good morning. 11F 🌨️

Looks good Ray, you should be flipping through repair manuals in no time!

Good morning. 3F ☁️ About a foot of snow yesterday. ❄️

Have one myself to do now, has been some time since I did one, the main thing I recall is in the instructions from Stihl it shows how to modify a pair of needle nose pliers, that is the slick trick from what I can recall.

OEM cylinders have gone the way of the DeSoto.... :(

For quite some time the true 359 top end was no longer offered for sale, hence when you ordered a top end from Husqvarna, you received a 357 top end. This led to many 359's being "converted" stock and not. It did work out quite well and was one of my favorites to build. Fast forward to today...

I don'[t know chit about cnc machinihng but it is quite interesting. I can't find the vidja now and wouldn't post it anyways, it was just so I could kind of peak into that world and see what goes on was all. It may really be all super accurate and all that it's claimed to be, I just don't know...

Yes, just happened to have. I probably still prefer it the other way around, but it ain't terrible bad by any means.

Well, as far as the CNC part goes, I just happened to come across a vidja from another feller doing the same thing to the same saw. (seems to be trending) I was fairly curious on how the machine was set up and cut etc. compared to a lathe that's now old and obsolete, yeah right. :rolleyes...

You could do either, if it cleans up and a new Meteor or Duke's piston is about as cheap as you can get. I put a Meteor 357 top on a 359 bottom end and just tightened tidied things up a little bit, didn't port and it runs fairly well.
