Checking on my JMS 066

[huskyboy]

I found a case for mason and I'm going to send it to him Saturday.

I can't thank you enough sir

I can't thank you enough sir

No problem bud. You will be more then happy once Scott goes through it and you can trust that it was done right.

Agh that pisses me off just *frenching reading that *s-word. It's never his fault is it????????? I don't use my saw for two damn cuts like he does I actually use that it for hours, I don't want some set of cases that his logging buddies dropped a tree on and ran no chain catcher for a million board feet.

I hear you. When he told me there are no perfect cases for those saws, I just thought "Ok, there may not be any perfect cases, but I'm pretty sure there are at least cases available that aren't broken."

Jason threatens one on this forum he threatens all of us, I should drive out there and give him a few lessons on backwoods discipline. He wouldn't be making threats anymore since he would be breathing out of a tube and eating out of one the rest of his poor pathetic days.

The cases are worn so thin/lost structural ridgity on the 395 I can bend them with my finger in that spot. One more thrown chain away from disaster.

Dallas, you must be a damn magician! I was told there are no perfect cases for these saws... I guess the impossible is possible. Mind blown

 

[dall]

the first one is the better one im not sure what one without broken corners look like because im not a husky guy

Thanks Dallas, @t4driller hooked me up, I am pretty sure the flywheel side is solid but won't know till it's completely stripped. Video uploading of the *s-word bendy case.

If that first one is still there tomorrow after I get paid, I'm picking it up.
Thanks for looking out @dall , even if it's for a Husky. Lol

I always thought the 395 crankcase was flimsy for a so big saw, even the good ones.

The 288/281 case looks 10 times stronger than these.

Mmmkayyy.....dot dot dot

 

[Moparmyway]

That rear rib or ledge is what gives the flat magnesium its strength. With several "chain events" the mag doesnt stand a chance, chunks off, and you're left with flimsy material.

If you're not planning on using that case after you've swapped it for a good one, may I ask you to send the case halves to me ?
I'd like to see if I can weld it and build up that rib ............ make it a project for me on a rainy day in the future .......... definately not the close future, but eventually I'd like to give it a go

Was gonna say the same Kevin.

I'll attempt repair any bad JMS cases for anyone here. Sounds like I can't French them up any worse than they already are anyhow.

I don't own any JMS saws and won't. I can relate though. When I first got into saws I wanted one that was ported. Found a really nice 10mm 044 and sent it to Ben Olsen as his AS posts and youtube videos looked real nice. It took a long time to get that saw back, had to talk to a parrot(#### you not). He admitted to screwing the oem cylinder up and was trying to find me a oem replacement and port it. Got the saw back and it ran great, it could be tuned pretty hot for some cant racing and out ran a few other nice 70cc saws. I had no reason to open it up and look, fast forward several years and I crushed that saw with a large oak, almost cried like a baby. The port work looks like a 5 year old did it, thought to myself, "that pos kept my saw for a year and sends this back"). Needed a replacement and did much more research on who to use, Kevin(Cut4Fun) pointed me to Mike Lee, got a 440 that he did. Got a 361 that Randy ported also, needed some diagnosis before hand that he hooked me up on.

Moral of story, the saw may run good and give you no reason for a inspection until it locks up. Deal with a well known builder that will take pride in and honor their work. There are many here but I know Mike and Randy have treated me right and will go to them for any future needs.

Who is Ben Olsen? Odd...I have a parrot and do youtube vids. But I'm Matt Olson and haven't done a real stihl 044 yet.

 

[Onan18]

Can't like that.

 

[BonScott46]

Can't resist jumping in here. Don't know if anyone has brought this up already but remeber when he said his brother in law had his saws stolen, a real mans man if I remeber right? A member was nice enough to send him at least one replacement. All I could think was this guy is a builder and he is asking for saws, why the *f-word doesn't he just build him one?
