Yup.
Looks like I have no choice but to build the best oil pump I can for my 660's. I'm screwed.
Two weeks and no 394 saw. Nothing but excuses and no tracking number because he never mailed it. He has been online here a few days ago. Did not respond to my last text messages or phone calls. I'll call and text again today.
The worst part is I'm supposed to be out milling today not chasing my saw or money two weeks later. My wife is pissed and I'm not far behind. Now we lose because he needed the money right away to feed his kids. Said he was out of work waiting for the boss to pay them and get back after it. Said he went back to work last week. We paid his wife right away to get the saw here fast. I need a runner if possible. Idk... so if he don't respond or send the saw we go after her I guess. They and us were all online and the phone when the deal was made. He said doing the video, that was never posted or sent to me, it broke the rim or something. He said he fixed it and would send the saw with an HD 084 filter base I need to run that saw on the big bar. It is non HD. Now both are sitting somewhere, but not here. He told me five days ago in a text it was an issue that he had not mailed it yet. Still nothing. Time to go public here and get in front of this now. Next I'm going to the sale thread after another text and phone call attempt. He said last time I called he was busy but has yet to call me back. Trusting people for me is becoming a thing of the past.
I tried on line at this site to buy four 394-5 saws over the last five months from members here. Two had saws for sale. All agreed to sell me those saws then backed out. Two more members had saw sitting and said they would take a look and let me know. They looked and said the saws just needed going over and a piston. I offered 400 for them and was turned down, twice.
Having no local options and not buying from Ebay on whole used machines.
So yeah Wayne.... I need to go buy 1122 control bolts today, mod them and set up another HO pump I don't have a pinion gear for to use my boat anchors to do a job they were never designed to do. Guess I'll be wasting another day I could have just built a Husky from parts or worked more and bought a better saw for more money from someone else. If I wasn't jerked off so many time we wouldn't be having this conversation and I would be doing something productive today.
Rant done
