Dallas Fundraiser

[Woodrow]

Good afternoon fellas. After talking with a few of the members here and Dallas himself, it appears that a fundraiser is in order.

As some or most of you know by now, Dallas has not been able to work for quite some time. He had heart surgery and then has a debilitating back injury with advanced arthritis that they have not been able to fix. He has been denied benfits and disability. As we all know, the medical costs and time off work are expensive and the monthly bills don't stop. I know Dallas probably rubs some people the wrong way and has not been really active in the short term, but I do know he stills watches. I hope we can all come together as a community of chainsaw guys/gals to help a guy out.

I will be tracking all the donations and will track and update the list of raffle items. As always a $10.00 donation gets your name in the drawing. One ticket for every $10.00 donation. Please help us out and add your username when you make a donation. Do not mention a raffle when making that donation. A raffle list will be posted and updated as the items come in.

Thread 'It's Stihl 044 time'

Mar 10, 2023

If one delves deep into internet 2 stroke garden tool lore one will hear of the Stihl 044.
According to ancient scrolls it houses mythical tree killing capabilites and human healing powers.

I've never even pulled a start rope on one much less made a cut, but figured it's finally time.

Bear in mind I'm not a trained professional in any aspect and I fully expect Dallas to tell me I'm a slacker multiple times before this is over.
Available time, money and parts availability will dictate the speed of this build.

I have no set direction other than get it going without breaking the bank.

Very generous Ed.

Dallas has helped out so many here, myself included with everything from saws, parts, advice and even just a good laugh on so many different occasions. It’s time we as forum community help the crusty old bastid out.
@Woodrow can you add a woods port job to the list of prizes for me please?

 

[Lnk]

I have a Jonsered 2094 in a bucket as a boobie prize for whomever gets drawn last. Anyone drawn can pick it. All part included including original jug, as well as aftermarket jug and piston. I already have too many projects, so someone can finish this one. Does not have clutch cover only. Has the impossible to find tank vent though. Will package up all the parts of the PHO if someone wins (lol) it. Shipping included lower 48. Outside and we can help, but winner responsible. Will get some picks in a minute. Pictures below. Flywheel cover/ recoil assignment also cracked and apart. See pics.

That is all there is. I installed the new jug and piston but have not PV tested. I have a running 2094 so no longer need this one. Not much of a prize, but maybe someone can use it.

 

[Woodwackr]

so, how does this raffle work? I should be able to round up some parts

Does that have the ability to hold a 12' kayak in calm water?

Where would you attach the anchor rope, since the handle bar is not attached anymore?

It is related to the husqvarnas, so at 94cc should be able to hold 3-12' kayaks in strong currents. The handlebar screws are included for easy reattachment. Lol

Also, make no mention of a raffle when making a donation.

The 2094 was designed for milling. Very good saws.
