Just got an email from Terry at chainsaw partsworld and he's sending out parts in level 4 if you need them.

Do you have his number . I'm looking for a solo 651 sp cylinder and rings but not having much luck at moment

Just checked with SES and they will process your orders ready to send out as soon as we get to level 3 .

I guess we have a couple more weeks of being locked down

Unfortunately I think its only just starting. I hope I'm wrong but I expect these lockdowns to go on for a while . Thankfully firewood is an essential service so I'm still able to do that.

How about Greg? Mind you hopefully I've got all I need from him for the next little while.
Unless it's chain....

@markds2 - how lockdown treating you? No doubt you've got a clean workshop bench keeping your eyes peeled for another project to sink your teeth into

Is anyone keen on an 090? Was 070, I converted with new genuine barrel and piston, put on 6 piece clutch and new springs.
Runs nice, keeps getting pulled off trademe when I sell it as a mill even tho there's som guy selling Chinese 070 powered mills

Also have a troublesome 044 10mm with new meteor barrel and piston. Think it has a vacuum leak but I'm over it.

How you doing Julian? I've been at work mostly - we're open as servicing Essential Services - aged and healthcare kitchens etc. Good time to catch my breath and get some jobs that have been waiting a long time - planning etc.

But, I have been catching up in the workshop over the weekend and in the evenings etc. Rebuilt a seized MS261 last week for a friend in Westport, built an early slant fin 12mm 044 over the weekend and tested it - sending that up to a friend in Hamilton, rebuilt a seized MS661C for a friend in Blenheim - sending that back today and I've just finished stripping down, cleaning out and reassembling another nearly new MS661C that went through the floods in Westport - luckily all that needed replacing was the clutch drum and bearing. Stripped down and assessed a blown MS461 last night and got a list of parts needed together, now I just need to wait for them to come and I'll be free of bench jobs! I seriously need to go and cut wood, I'd taken on far too much workshop stuff which has limited my time cutting wood. Fortunately, the farm where I normally cut wood is letting me go there during L4 so hopefully later this week....
