how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

[Workshop]

Got this from Marc a few months back. In a box. Spent the afternoon cleaning and putting it back together. Runs on prime. Have to get oil and fuel tank caps tomorrow and really test it out. Always wanted one of these.

 

[Workshop]

I got lucky. It was 2 saws in a box. The other one had the caps. Woohoo.

 

[Digger's Dad]

I didn't charge enough for that.

The next time you leave a saw here......

Gassed it and oiled it up. Runs decent but the carb needs further adjusting. Tinker more with it tomorrow.

Holy crap Steve...
Don't show Aaron that score..
He's liable to just have a heart attack..

 

[Hedgerow]

Gonna have to do.
If I jack that bastard up any more, it'll rip right off the house. Steps ain't done. They'll go 180 degrees when I'm done.

How is your ankle / foot?

Tore some ligaments, and a fracture for lack of a better word. The doctor called it an osteochondral defect; it looked like a crack to me on the MRI. He said he could cast it or I could keep the boot. I chose the boot. He said to use the crutches and to not walk without them. He gave me a steroid for inflammation.

Still in my prayers , I hope
It is tolerable healing up,
I hate healing / down time

 

[mdavlee]

Get healed up there buddy.

Supposed to be about 80 here today. Might get to play with another saw or 2 today.

Morning midlanders.

Try #2 on the 880 AV mount with 3M. As a back up plan if my local dealer fails to get a new one. Getting close to Saturday.[emoji122]

Hey Carl, try some SealAll on it. I fixed a cracked block on my splitter with it. Still good.

You could mold one or glue your old one together with windshield bedding urethane. Comes in a sealed caulking tube. Humidity speeds up the cure. The entire tube turns solid in a couple of days after it's unsealed. Very tough stuff.

On the broken AV buffers.
Being in an oily environment before, during, and after they broke, would the oil keep a good bond from happening? Or is there a glue that actually "welds" the rubber surfaces together chemically?

 

[67L36Driver]

I think the oil left on the rubber is killing the bond.

I washed the Solo buffer in lacquer thinner before the 3M and it set up solid.

New buffer should be here Tuesday morning. Just want a back up plan.

I'd like to put a tank or more thru the beast Saturday in Iowa.
