Fell off the bench, broke the chain break handle mount.

I have as many bags of sweet gum sticker balls as one would want.[emoji37]

Bring your own rake.

Last year was thirteen contractor bags. This year looks like even more.[emoji31]

Hmmm maybe I'll try that next time in at the Stihl dealer

 

[Homelite410]

Should i...

I do. Bearings on crank first, freeze crank, heat bearings in oil. Then freeze crank and bearings and drop into warm case.

My bearings are already in the case

 

[Homelite410]

Are the seals in?

Ya that's how the case came

No worries Coby. Put the crank in the ice maker and the cases in the oven at 275-300 degrees.

Polish the crank with 400 or 600 wet or dry. A thin coat of grease also.

Twenty minutes is all it takes.

Wear your oven mitts.

Will the heat hurt the seals?

Saws get pretty hot on there own .

Now y'all have me wanting a 2171. Thanks guys

 

[67L36Driver]

No. Knock them out. Especially if you think an edge on the shaft will roll out the lips.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I froze the crank on mine to -5 and didn't mess with the case temp at all and it slid right together
