Since milling has come up -- here's a couple of vids of a 100 year mill in the next town over the owner was kind enough to give us a great deal on milling all of the lumber for our sugarshack.
The mill is powered by an engine out of a mack truck he converted. We did several 8x8 beams, 2x6 flooring, planking etc.
Myself and my buddy Ken felled several trees that were marked to go in our town forest. This was quite a project.

here is with a full comp round ripping semi chisel chain ,28 inch bar is mostly used up ,i think a 18-20 inch wide slab ,it is faster with skip square since i have switched ,i bet the speed is similar to the bandsaw video above with the square skip chain .404 ,i tried alaska mill after using this one ,i got real wore out and sweaty with the alaska one ,this one takes a lot of the work out of it,i run a 32 inch bar with .404 now without the aux oiler ,i can mill bigger logs now

I've not noticed any loss in cut power from a light flywheel,usually just gains buy I've never tried one this light.
It was a broke flywheel so I done that,useless the way it was.

I hate the handle in a husky, always in the way tuning so I cut the damn thing off shorter

Where do you hook up the jumper cables?

Pto side bearing is spun in the case on my 064. I've heard of lots of these short case saws spinning that bearing but this is only the 2nd one I've seen do it.

The old saw is actually a 066,I had 2 cylinder bolts holes stripped on the original 064 case so I changed it over to 066 cases but most would never noticed.
I have had that saw since new and have all the original parts still but the only original parts on it now is the crankshaft, fuel tank,recoil and flywheel.

I already changed the case but it was my last good pto side short case half. I need to get more but good ones are becoming scarce.

Can you get pictures of the spun bearing and case please?

Sometime you can sleeve the bearing bore. If not, I have a couple sets of 064/066 cases I need to dig through and see what is salvageable.
Let me know what you got.
It ran very little like that so it's not real bad just gaulded some.
