A Barrett brother with a Creamsicle?? The heck you say!

Got a chance to do some basic cleaning on the 024 today. It will get better when I tear it down for the rebuild, but it cleaned up pretty good I'd say. View attachment 124572 View attachment 124573

Wow it did clean up good.

Was the saw stripped down and cleaned, or just cleaned while all together?

He stripped it down, not completely but pretty close.

Cleaned up nicely.

Thanks Josh. It does look real nice.

I love before & after...Sure wish I had before pics of the saw that got me started down this road. Absolute filth, some from cutting then about 20 yrs. shop grime in storage. It had a stench of body putty & paint for years. I think sat in someones body shop.

Yes, I stripped it down to the point the fuel tank was separated from the case. I still need to pull the top end and see if I can save the cylinder. Once I make that determination, I'll be starting to gather parts. PA Dan is already helping me out lining a couple things up for me Thanks Dan!

Looks nice!

Thanks Jeff

I personally don’t see the point in getting an 064... a 288xp is a better saw, and it looks like you’ve already got one of them.

Why can't someone have both?[emoji41]

That is a super nice find. I'm gonna want to see it when you get it cleaned up -- I believe it's gonna be a cream puff.
The filter will have to be replaced by the looks of it. How about the piston cylinder?

I did some cleaning on the saw last week. Pulled the top end and the piston is toast but the cylinder is cleaning up nicely. Another member is sending some parts for Joe and I. Here's what she's looking like now.

Looking good ! What chain are they set up for? Fixed or adj. oiler? (Never had an 024)

Thanks Duane 16" .325 .063 and non adjustable oiler.

Oh and 42mm OEM pistons are still available and my price from my dealer is $46!

That's about as nice as I've seen in some time. Congrats on the clean up. If the cylinder did clean up well I might splurge for the OEM piston and rings.
Well wishes on the project.

Clean. Will be a new saw when you are done.

Thanks Travis and the update from USPS says they will be here today! Long hot bath for the cylinder tonight!

 

[PA Dan]

Joe you have some catching up to do...

 

[PA Dan]

Now you really have some catching up to do! She's all together and alive! Made a couple cuts but might have to swap out carbs. Here she is!

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I'll get there, I promise! This little project wouldn't be any further ahead if it we're all orange, honest injun.


Looks great buddy!
