thanks for the heads up, it's 3/8 not 3/8lp or atleast the 5 I got are right.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/395137494543 if you select 5 peice it's $45 and some change with free shipping but I forgot to include tax so it's closer to $50 total

I looked into doing a 660/395xp BB and I think it is doable but I don't have the equipment to machine the case and I'm just not sure if you could flow enough fuel to a 106cc with the 660 carb so you'd probably need a 880 intake/carb and your talking more of a race setup than a work saw at that...

I just got a shipment of 5 84dl chicom chains for $45 bucks delivered today.

Looking around online I'm guessing a new OEM is gonna be about $160 and a new farmertec is going to be about $40 bucks shipped from somewhere in the US.

sold

Out of the wood: Yup Under heavy load: Nope That video would be neat to see if he would have ran it at say 130psi vs 230psi with a flat top piston and the timing numbers the same.

But as far as blowing the pump up that shouldn't be a problem if everything is set right. if you blow up the pump your either building to much pressure from...

As far as building your own power comes from the pump PSI and cylinder size not the engine HP you only need more engine if your running more gallons per minute. For example a pump at 4000psi on a 5in cylinder is 40ton if your pump could run 5000psi than the output would be 50ton but most pumps...

I don't have much faith in a lot of the new splitters. I have a old speedco that is 10ton and will split through anything (small single wedge) guy I bought it from said he bought a new 22ton splitter and this little one would out split it so he sold it and bought a 37 ton. I was looking at...

Thanks for the heads up I'll look into it.

Well after taking the cylinder off the new 660 and looking at the 395xp cylinder I would say it could be done but I don't have the tools to open the case up accurately. So down the road the 660 will go but I might keep my eye out for a cheap 395xp clone and press the crank apart and swap to a...
