. Y'all gotta see this! Super charged v-8 trencher.

So, when did you build that thing Mike?

OK boys what's the trick? Tensioner is stripped but it won't come out? What am I missing? Should it just pop out ??Don't want to break the case trying to Pry on it... 2159c BTW.

Making progress. Found some fittings at T/S today. Got the valve remounted, son made some brackets to further brace it from movement. That's what caused the crack to begin with. Will make another bracket to mount the filter assembly tomorrow evening then hook up the return hose, fill it with fluid and test everything. Then install trailer lights.

Be glad to.

Outstanding! Thanks!

Has it got spark? (I know, stupid question). If it doesn't sit under cover, check the carb float bowl. I bet it has water in it. They won't suck up water.

You missed it but were on the right track with the carburetor. Float hung and dumped half a tank of non-ethanol into the crankcase. Nasty mess. I drained it, flushed with old oil, cleaned the carb and made sure the float was okay. Fresh oil, more fuel and away we go. Starts and runs as it should. I will have to give it a bath before I get to Muskogee. Everything is covered in oily, gassy, greasy grime.

Lights still work! Woo Hoo! Road ready and can't wait to go!

Looks good, Steve. I see you also opted for the custom fabricated engine cover like I have.

First tree down today had an attitude! Snag a saurus Rex! 24" dbh red oak

finally coaxed her to the ground without major bodily harm or disfigurement!!!! The 046 is a bad arse plunge cutting machine with the 24" hardnose though...love that thing!

Glad everyone is uninjured. I am always worried about snagging something on the way down. I've had a close call once or twice but have always managed to figure a (safe) solution.

How 'bout a 372xt, ya wanna try one of those?

Of course, I was going to borrow it in Seymour if that is ok, along with your 562.

Pop it straight up and out.

 

[Hinerman]

Me and my big mouth.

Yep I cut 10 cedars today for the kids to play with. I have 15 poles/limbs (10 cedar, the other are sweet gum, cypress, and something else IIRC) for them to test their saws out and do a little racin'..

The sweet thing to do chad is pull it out n pitch it and replace with a 2255 clutch cover.

 

[Jetmd]

Happy late Birthday Matt! Sorry it seems as if I am always a little late to the party......

 

[Digger's Dad]

Good morning gentlemen. One day closer to an Oklahoma road trip!

Steve - don't show up this morning for breakfast. No sausage or bacon and I have to be out the door before 6.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Morning guys not sure who's up. And went back tobed.

There's a guy at work that is wanting to sell a 390 XP parts saw. It looks like the only unblemished parts would be the piston, cylinder, carb, and maybe the crank. I think he said that it lost a battle with a falling tree. Looks like every other part has an "issue" of some sort. I told him I'd see if there was any interest.

Morning fella's. Hitting the road and going home a day early today. Hope to be back at the house by noon.

That would be nice but I don't have access to any at the moment!! Side tensioner on those I assume.....

Pop it straight up and out.

I finally pried on it til it started moving. They had tightened it too far and had it all jammed up in the front up against the case. They twisted it so hard it broke one of the teeth clean off of the gears. Chain is obviously stretched and needs a link taken out......
