Todays snag

[brandonstclair20]

1948 Frazer Manhattan, if the engine is fixable I’ll keep it original but it will be a low budget build for sure. If the engine is not fixable I will go with a more modern drivetrain (whatever I can get from the scrap yard). This project probably will take a back burner to other projects for now. I didn’t plan on buying it, but I like the car and I felt like I had the chance to save it from the crusher so I bought it.

They guy broke his contract and backed out and is selling none of the cars. The auction company is suing him now.

Picked up this 084 with a 25" Oregon b/c today. Has a few bumps and bruises but runs well. Excited to get it in some wood! But first I gotta put chain on the right way (previous owner had it on backwards...)

Pretty dull, gotta flip it around to get the most out of it lol.
Did you start it before taking it home?

 

[Dasser82]

I did, it fired and that was good enough for me. Was a pretty shady character and I didn't want to hang around much longer. After seeing the chain and sprocket I'm going through it carefully before I use it. Found a couple of screws missing too.

To bad it has a scored cylinder.

If all it needs is a piston and cylinder, that could be a ‘like new’ saw pretty easily.

I already have the parts to put it back together.

But who has time for all of that nonsense Lee. You should just box it up and send it my way. I've done favors like this for people in the past, they always thank me.

Yea it's too bad it's a piece of junk now! I tell you what, I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands!

Just made it to your post, I guess we are willing to do similar favors.

Not a chainsaw, but ‘snagged’ something good, for good coffee from Goodwill, at a good price. Once you start looking into these, they seem to have their own culture surrounding them.

Jesus dont post a picture of the serial number! Haha.
When I first moved to SC I needed a push mower ,found one on craigslist. When the Misses and I went to pick it up I told her not to get out of the vehicle. I handed 50.00 over to a 90lb adult( shaky) man and took off with my new Murray push mower.

His dad bought it new

It's in good shape
And a commercial trash pump
Just needs a cord.

Are you going to immediately throw the bar in the shed?

I have 2 now: a ‘3-cup’ and ‘9-cup’ (2oz espresso ‘cups’); both resale scores for a few dollars each. Each needed a replacement gasket, which cost almost as much!

*Don’t put them in a dishwasher!!!*

Have seen them in an amazing range of sizes, and in stainless steel along with the classic, cast aluminum.



Similar to chainsaws, I can make good coffee with the inexpensive ‘clone’ version, but once you use the classic Bialetti . . .

Still have my eye out for a 6-cup.
