Jesse's 390---the sequel

[huskihl]

And GW from OKC thought this 385 was one was in rough shape. At least the clutch cover is complete.

Lol. That thing’s a muffler and rope away from slaying timber


Oops. And a coil wire

Its says a lot about these saws in this state that have kept running and cutting wood despite the owners doing their best to kill them.

Guy gave it to me and said it blew up. It's now in Oklahoma to get built into something.

Sorry. I was busy studying the rope to see if it was actually broke or not

 

[Hinerman]

Thought it best to "degree" the saw one more time before final assembly.

The Iron Horse method...

Sorry Randy, delete my post if your blood pressure spikes at the mention.

How the hell did the pull rope get over THERE!?!??

Sometimes you wonder if that's what they are trying to do. Cutters like the one with that 385 often admit they are real hard on equipment. Even joke about it. Some guys just get pissed and complain that the saws can't take it anymore. Especially if they crunch a new saw.

I believe that's the "East Coast" Special Cover designed for quick "Chip" removal. Lots of tree guys use them as "noodle" saws. As in "Chinese" noodles

That is one cover that will never clog up, isn't it? No need to buy the expensive west coast cover; all you need is a hammer.

Pffft, ya can't be fixing coil wires just cause they're faulty looking, when there's plenty of time for someone else to change it later.

 

[Stump Shot]

Just about ready to go.

Jesse firing up the saw for the first time. It freaking popped on the SECOND pull. Couple more and she had quite an angry bark.

If that saw runs like it looks, Jesse ought to be one happy cutter. Good job guy's.

I like that trueblue rope.
It's usually smoother operating than this one.

If you pull this, does the whole thing explode?

We need a poll

The farmers around here used to claim if you took the clutch cover off and ran the chain backwards, you could cut round bales with a chainsaw.
I always wanted to try it but figured it would wrap up like kelvar and, with my luck, break a crank or something.
I don't know who's harder on equipment, farmers or loggers.

Nicely done Bob. I like the linear degree method better than a stupid wheel.
