For any Command owners out there with an aging ASAM, DSAM, or DSAI ignition system Kohler has stepped up to the plate and is offering conversion kits to convert over to the MDI system for a very reasonable price. Here is what you need to do in order to convert an old CH with the ASAM to MDI...

Local saw shop called me, said they wanted to clear some shelf space. I am asking $20.00 each plus shipping. 3003 Stihl mount (D025): Right to left, two 18" 3/8 .050 Windsor Speed tips SOLD, one 16" .050 Total hard nose, one 16" 3/8 .050 Total laminated. Husqvarna Large Mount: Top to...

Had this gem come in on trade, runs but will not idle down. Definitely needs new crank seals, but I think this one is worthy of a complete restoration. Not too bad overall. This is my first TOMOS saw. Air filter cover has seen better days. Much better, anyone have a nice one they...

Building a Johnny Cash saw, looking for a short case 066 bottom end. Crank and/or bearings can be bad, really only looking for the cases themselves and the clutch/oil pump/chain brake components. Have greenbacks to trade. Thanks, Joe

Had a high hour 576 come in with a blown piston and cylinder, I have had several people ask questions about this model recently so the timing couldn't have been more perfect. I will try to cover everything as detailed as possible but I am sure I will forget things so please feel free to add...

Just tore down a Husqvarna (RedMax) backpack blower that has an intermittent run issue and I wanted to make sure there was no internal engine damage before I condemned the coil. This is what the inside of the engine looks like after two years running Red Armor at 50:1 I know there is a lot of...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our resident mad scientist!

OK folks, here we go. Many of you know Jeremy Miller, he has had quite a time these past couple of years. Several health issues in his family, his kids, his wife, and himself personally. Jeremy is having some real health issues currently, and is scheduled for surgery on March 8th...

One of my loggers dropped off a pile of broken 540s and asked me to see what I could do with them. After inspection I told him that I could build two runners with new rings and gaskets. I took pictures of tearing one down to the crankcase for re-ring, if I split a bottom end on one later I...

Several people have messed me asking if this chassis was going to be covered. This saw came in after a recent overhaul locked up, I had it partially tore down before I realized it had ate the crank, so the breakdown is not complete. I will get some more pictures the next time one comes in...

Up until this point most of my threads have been on the older/obsolete saw families. This thread will document the rebuild of a 562 XP specifically but it is pretty much the same for a 555 or a 545/550 (the latter are just smaller, same layout). On the bench we have a fairly early (2013 serial...

dnfcflol651 @exCanuck @Gentleman @Jon1212 12 @Mastermind This guy needs the axe.

Been giving the Husqvarnas a lot of love lately, I figured it was time to do a German saw. This chassis was Stihls best seller for a very long time and the reason is simple, it is a solid, reliable firewood saw. This thread will cover the general repairs to the 029/039/MS 290/MS 310/MS 390...

Preview for anyone who might be interested. :D

Here we go again everyone, this thread will document the general repairs and some basic mods to the Husqvarna 340/345/350/351/353/346 chassis as well as their Jonsered counterparts. I have a few 350s in the que for re-seal and 346 cylinder conversion as well as my Dads 346 for seal replacement...

Ok gang, here we go with another chassis. Not a lot of info out there on the Husky 357/359 or the Jonny 2156/2159 counterpart, hope to remedy that situation. On the bench is an ugly old 359, rode hard and put up wet, pretty typical of a firewood saw. This one needs crank seals, piston, carb...

Jim has built two saws for me, the first was my Dads Stihl 045. Dad bought it used when I was in High School and it was his primary saw for years. It fried several years back when i was working for Deere and didn't really know anything about working on two strokes apart from basic maintaince...

Like with the other ones this thread will document the rebuild and repairs of saws from this chassis. I am currently doing a full rebuild of a 288 for a buddy. It was an ex loggers saw and was in pretty rough shape, so this will take a while as it is being done as he can afford things. Here...

Like with the 50/51/55 thread, this thread will document the repairs saws from this chassis. This platform has been long lived and some great saws were built on it. There were the Husqvarna 162/61/66/266/268/ and 272. On the Jonsered side there was the 625/630/ and 670. @afleetcommand and...

I have a couple of 55s in the que for work, so this thread is going to cover several different saws as I get to them. Today was a piston replacement, pretty standard job on these older saws. The victim.
