What's on your bench?

Cool Idea

I saw that color on a saw and liked it.

I think I'll go with black plastics and paint the clutch cover that gray color.

Prolly a safe bet having red cases, tank, recoil, and clutch cover with a black cylinder cover lol

Yamaha VX Cruiser I started winterizing at work this afternoon. Oil filter was so tight I had to pull the intake off to get enough swing with my filter pliers to get it broken free.

John Deere TX Gator dropped off for a PM this weekend.

My 281XP needed a father figure.

It's a 1993 model 3120XP with fresh OEM piston, jug and muffler and 7 pin 3/8 sprocket which matches all my existing milling gear.

Exterior is a little rough but the internals are clean, compression feels good and it starts easy.

The muffler includes flame arrestor mesh and a lot of baffling, it's actually not as loud as I expected

Haven't taken it for a test run yet but will attach my 42" bar and Alaskan mill soon.

I will wait until I have run it before considering any mods, however I am open to suggestions that will improve milling performance

Had a Grasshopper 226V come in, the original Briggs engine broke a rod with only 208.3 hours on it. Had a Kawasaki FX691V on hand so I transplanted that in. Install went surprisingly smoothly, the original Briggs muffler all but bolted straight up. Only needed one "love tap" from a dead blow and dropped right in place.

But...


The original Briggs wiring harness was here.


The Kawasaki hookups are over here.

What do you do about that you ask?


Easy, you build a jumper harness.

Buddy's 562 for a new oil pump and worm wheel. Oils like a champ now. He even left me some funny looking green paper with some old dead guy on it!

DND 9000 - I did not have a WG kit on hand but I did have a WJ which had the fuel pump diaphragm I needed so the 088 is back in service and working as it should.

The chain is 173 DL by the way and needed a lot of filing to make it right again.

4200 gets new oem bearings and Gaskets.
Found a slight wear mark of the piston not visible through the exhaust port, light sanded good to go. The cylinder is in great shape.
Odd bird/eagle cast into the crankshaft.

This morning, not a GTG event but it could be. The lumberyard in town makes surveying stakes from these units of 2x3's and their regular sawyer was gone today so they asked me to run their saw and see what I thought.

It takes 2-3 minutes and about 1/3 of a tank of fuel to cut through one unit.

They don't clean the air filter themselves.

It is on my bench now, I am looking for a carburetor kit as this saw does not seem to run just as it should.

Chain is 176 drivers, takes a while to file it sharp again.

I take it thats not your saw ,but the survey crew?
I know that my 088 ran alot better after opening the dime sized exhaust port and going with a uni filter kit. Obviously the new diaphragm will help.

Finally leaving (waited for parts) My buddies The Green Machine 7600! Something fell on the handle and broke the cover, scattering the parts. Some were never found. Anyway the rest of the saw suffered from years of neglect. Cleaned it all up and was surprised to find a pro saw underneath. No kidding, well made product.

John Deere TX Gator for a PM service. Oil and filter change, new air and fuel filters, new spark plugs. Will be doing the plugs, fuel filter and cleaning/degreasing the engine tomorrow morning as I don't have the correct fuel filter and plugs in stock.

Why?????

 

[redlight066]

Thanks for disassembling the saw. It’s got spark and the piston looks good. I’m on the fence about even doing a pressure and vac test.

yup it’s broken just go buy another

maybe I should take the day off if I’m thinking like this

 

[huskyboy]

066 needs some love and fixing.

 

[av8or3]

Why?????

Oh, that’s to keep your spark plug boot from flyin’ off. It’s not good when your spark plug boot goes off on you.
