Weirdest place you've worked on a saw?

[idiotwithasaw]

Ok guys post up your weirdest, oddest, or most boneheaded place you have ever worked on a saw. And I don't mean changing a plug and filter.

I've worked on some saws in some odd places but today is by far the most different. In a TSC parking lot, me and @jake wells stripped a homelite xl12 down to the crank because we thought we might need it for a super xl. then on the super xl once we did a little diagnosis realized the crank was ok, the reason why it was locked up is because the ignition coil bolts had vibrated loose and knocked all the fins off the flywheel. So stole the flywheel off the xl12 tightened the coil back down and vroom vroom she be running again.

So now we learned how a homelite is built and we saved another from the scrap pile, all in all not a bad day.

More like a LONG day filled with experiences but yeah there wasn't many good parts on the one homelite it was fun through even if people thought what are these two rednecks doing lol.

That poor poor xl12 it had been picked over pretty good even before we got ahold of it. Now it's in peices in the toolbox in your truck.

I love those series saws, the flywheel bolts are the first things I look at. I have found nos pistons on the bay cheap. There is two full wrap handles for the xl-12 and super xl on there now. The jug and piston off an xl-12 will work on a super xl you just loose 4cc. you can go the other way and have a super xl-12. the cranks will not interchange the super xl crank is about an inch longer to make room for the auto oiler. I am pretty sure I got a few extra flywheels and mags if you need one.

I know I've had a few instances of tearing a saw down and rebuilding it in a buddys driveway more than once.

That's funny there

I bet people were wondering why two fat guys were hanging around a parking lot wrenching on a hunk of metal in the back of a pickup truck.

Musta looked like two monkeys witha rock and a nut. Just couldn't figure out which one to crack open an eat.

How about a shed at a camp outside of Bogota Colombia? (Jonsereds, unknown model)
Or in another shed in the highlands of New Guinea? (Stihl 044)

Well when I was a roadie for

, and on the rare occasion the Stihl needed something done I was the only one from a farm. The coffee tables and pool tables were all occupied with warm bodies. The top of the TV was out because we throwed it off the roof into the parking lot. The tub was full of jello shots and the pool full of ice and cases of Smearnoff. There were lines all over the hookers asses so the only flat place left was the desk in the lobby. Times were tough.

Can't too much say work on a saw but had to change my chain in a tree last week nuts in the gloves, side cover wedged in my neck hole of my shirt and a saw between my legs still on the lanyard and scrench in my saddle
