What's on your bench?

Son Jeff came to help again today, we got the last of the saws we brought over last week cleaned up and moved into the display.

Chain grinding.
Dolmar PS-550 ran two whole tanks of fuel on a once ground X-Cut loop.
The Dolmar PS-6400 ran two tanks on a ground RD3 and one tank on a full chisel Carlton.
Beech logs, quite muddy/dirty - thankfully green/fresh.



As sloppy and inaccurate as it may be, I am glad I decided to purchase that AMA MAXX grinder - I'd go nuts filing all those chains I have been wearing down.
And a huge plus, I can grind my own Carbide chains.

That’s an odd looking chainsaw leaning against your table.

Speficically made for guys like Nathan (Blackdog) that like to put holes in the ground with the saws...not his handiwork in this case but you get the point.

I haven't had a lot of time the last couple of months and what little I've had I've bee working on my new to me tractor. It didn't come with hydraulics so I've been working on that, 9n lifting arms, adding a hydraulic tank, lines, filter and single action valve. I've also changed it over to 12v and put a new seat on it. I just have to finish wiring up the lights and it should be ready for some yard work.

Ryobi 1800 watt inverter generator was on the bench yesterday. Got a new carb. Was surging at idle and even cleaning the carb in the ultrasonic cleaner couldn't get the idle circuit clean. What a pain in the butt to work on!!

Try and choke it a little, if idle cleans up, you need to open low speed jet up as stated by @huskihl .

The 10-10A that I've been having issues with running correctly showed some of the issues when I did a vac and pressure test over the weekend. Both had poor results with returning to near zero in a couple of minutes, and a bit quicker when turning it over rotating by the flywheel. With the pressure test and some soapy water, there was a noticeable set of bubbles with as little as 2 psi of pressure. A new 6119 seal (and got a spare one) was ordered.

Looking over everything a bit further showed that the points were not even close to being properly dressed. That was a easy fix.

Now the bad but questionable item. The crankshaft on the clutch side has very visible bearing marks that my fingernail does not catch but a dental pick will feel the marks. Marks look like it sat for a while when damp/wet. I'm thinking that a different crank should be obtained b4 to much more is done to it.
Edit for: Marks were dried on crud.

This a 10-10A Right Hand Start with a serial number prefix of 10. Will any of the crankshafts (later ones with 12 prefix) from any vintage work? No longer needed

Unfortunately the idle circuit is non adjustable

A secret squirrel sent me a nos 262 intake manifold with gaskets and a air dam and a 262 sticker

I heat cycled it and tuned it in wood
Strong little saw it's probably around a pound lighter than a 266

2 weeks clear coated. Wet sanded, buffed with 0000 steel wool, and polished with turtle wax. Finally ready for reassembly. And her earmuffs should be here this week!

There is a suspicion that it is not a Polish drill but a Russian one, there is a Russian letter on the switch and on each AK11 aluminum element. The rotor spins, although 2 commutator cubes do not work and the fan blades are lost. Probably from excessive rotation the string also escaped from the winding at the fan . The bearings are Polish, maybe only the switch was taken from the Russians . I found a legible plate online

I have the two Partners to finish and two battery golf carts to work over I bought dirt cheap .$100 for the pair . A Cushman 3 wheel and an Ezgo 4 wheel ,both 36 volt .
The Cushman won't be a big deal but the EZGO the entire battery rack has rusted away .I'll use 3 automotive 12 volt batteries to test them but then need to find six 6 volt deep cycles to replace them .Lead acid type because I don't have a charger for lithium ion type .They say lead acid is good for about a 10 mile range .Good enough for what they will be used for .

Adjustable with a micro drill set.

 

[heimannm]

So far it's been fuel lines, primer bulbs, a little carburetor work, replacing trimmer lines, a few missing screws, and soldering the wires on an ignition switch. I still need to look into the tiller/cultivator.

Picked up a tired 2163 135comp runs and oils

 

[Matt Ellerbee]

Simple pad slap escalated quickly. Rotor was seized on shaft. Couldn’t install the rear pad. No worries, Matt has tricks.

And a welder.

More gooder.

Fixed some trash saw today carbs,lines,filters

Bastard healed up from a dog attack

The only thing good about these saws is the pull handles
That freebie 257/262 walked all over all that trash

These Eklind ball end drivers are handy
You don't go have to pull the bar/chain for clearance to pull the muffler
Just break the fasteners loose with the t handle first.

The 455 only needs a carb kit he says
It runs but has piston slap
He gave it to me i guess I'll fix it.
