Leaky tank so I bought some Red Kote. Waiting for it to warm up a bit as I'm reluctant to do it having it drying in the basement with a gas water heater down there. I don't want to get in the news as someone launched into space.
I bought a new 36" Oregon bar and chisel chain for it because I have so many trees that big to cut with it LOL.
Runs like a top and has huge power. A good saw not to stand directly behind if you value your family jewels.
Not much work needed on it. A broken front AV mount, a PTO side seal as it was pounded in without building up the step on the crankshaft and a welch plug to replace the one missing in the cylinder. Strangely, two other collectors had the same welch plug missing.
I made an H&S replica spike for it
It's nice to work on a huge saw as there's so much space around what needs working on. My fingers are down on dexterity from what they were 5 years ago.
They are very impressive units especially considering the vintage.
