What's on your bench?

2175 I built from a eBay donor saw, lot of new parts added, Cylinder was used, new OEM piston, top covers, clutch cover, starter cover and a RWJ carb and filter setup. Had taken some time off and these parts were just sitting around.View attachment 170729 View attachment 170730 View attachment 170731 View attachment 170732

That makes even an old Stihlhead's heart flutter just a bit. Beautiful saw!

Titan 50 and the 044 are runners, I will have a look at the 045 tomorrow.

The stars aligned and a few sales were made....I’ll try it out when the snow/ice melts I plan on running a 20” and 25”

The 044 is super nice. It needs the right clutch cover but I'd take it in a heart beat.

Thanks I hope that it runs that good. Muffler modding it next. Here’s what’s in there on a US saw. I’m going to open it up like @Redfin did on the one he just finished. I’m going to try to leave the bracket to hold the screen so I can put it back in if needed.

Compared to the 044/046. Much lighter though

I like the looks of the farther apart handle spacing on the 462.

Just for you Mason

Those Dolly’s have pretty alien feeling ergonomics if your used to husky or stihl. However once you figure out how they handle, there pretty sweet.

Got some parts today. Put a new fuel line and filter in one of the 55's. This one will be a closed port model. Seals and bearings look new. Rolls over very nice and smooth. Seals are clean.

Have to clean the cylinder up, have a new piston on hand waiting to go in. New intake boot, impulse grommet, and more.

Has anyone ever filled the notches in the crankcase for the bottom fed open port cylinder? Figure if it could be done, that would build a little more case compression and wake the saw up a bit.

Going to do very light port work, mainly getting rid of rough spots and beveling the ports. Might widen the intake and exhaust a little, if it can be done. Definitely will mod the muffler.

Have to order a couple carb kits soon.

Yessir...Can't wait to see what this one will do.

Probably my most used saw still. Look forward to seeing your opinion on it.

You just stated why I dont like the 461.

Since the Homelite EZ mods came out so rad.....i,m moving on to Mcculloch breeding.

Hopefully they make a cute baby in a few weeks.
