This last crank install I set the oven at 275 (ish) and it went better than the previous 250 degrees.

Crank in plastic bag in freezer ice maker bucket.

No paint smell so the next one will try 300.

Oven mitts are awkward.[emoji57]

The service manuals for both 441, and 260 call for preheating to 300F.

Morning folks.

Just got in my Husqvarna chainsaw pants. No more wood chips in the pockets. Zippers on the pockets. Fit good but need the leg bottoms shortened. Just don't like the feel of chaps so trying the out the pants.

Don't forget the "don't start your saws like this at home, or you will die" disclaimer. That was hilarious!

Yup..
That fella was in full "don't try this at home" mode.

" these guys are professionals"
He says...

Hahahahahaha!!!!

Translate 'accident' to Chinese and then back to English you get 'blood lesson'.

Afternoon fella's. Had to run to Rolla today and saw a real nice Jonsered 2172 in a pawn shop. Looked to be real low hours by the external condition of the saw. Dude said he'd take $500 for it. I'm not familiar enough to know if that's a good deal or not, so thought I'd pass it on to you folks that might be close.

Stihl need more 880 parts. Oil pump drive is hosed.

Groove worn down by the driver spring.

New clutch springs, rim drum and bar dog also needed.

Basic engine is together.

Been amused by transferring all the gingerbread to the new fuel tank.

400 wouldn't be bad not knowing the history.

I sold the 2171 mutt I had for four Benjamins.

Not a beauty queen. Had to use Husky top and recoil cover as no J-red top to be found.

Wifey is cold, and it's supposed to get back down to the thirties one day this weekend. My fire was out, but I just refired the smoke monster. I have to admit that it's been pretty chilly in the house the past couple mornings. Looks like I'll be burning for another couple weeks.

That was a good disclaimer considering most were starting them wide open holding the trigger.

You should see Awol's boys drop start a saw.....scares the bajeezus out of me.

084 flung the chain on the 3rd cut at the races and ripped a chunk out of the chaps..
Lotsa shredded fibers..
Announcers used it as a "teachable moment" for the spectators.

What a bunch of pansies...
Lol.

Yep. We were getting pretty good at swapping the chaps back and forth. [emoji2]

Awesome stuff. I hope I can make the next one.

 

[Hinerman]

Thank goodness you had chaps on for once!

Can't compete without 'em

Outlet on the 880 muffler is a tad small.

Not wanting it to sound like a leaf blower, we made it bigger.

We have room to go even larger but don't want to melt the brake flag.

 

[67L36Driver]

The clip on cast alum muffler is hollow inside. The clip deal remains to prove itself.[emoji19]

Yep. Seen it that day at the charity cut.
