Nice score!

Picked up a few saws at an auction so there's a few MS241C's and 026 Pros in various stages at the moment. Also some others laying around that need a cleaning 034, 024WB, 45 special. Wife says I need to narrow it down to 3 and I'm trying to convince her multiples of the same saw is just prudent planning.

Wow nice grab! What kind of deal did you get on those?

I've been collecting broken ones and fixing them up as a hobby for a little bit now so they're all different deals. The husky was a gift. The 034 was $50, the 241's and 026's were about $125 a piece, most of them worked, just needed a good cleaning and a bar+chain. The 024 was about $100 and also needed nothing. I'm thinking of keeping a 241, an 026 and the 034 just so I have a good mix.

I had a TS760 AV I fixed last year, wish I still had that. That 111cc engine was a monster.

That 241 if its runnibg rite is a little screamer. If you ever want to get rid of a 241, pm me!

Just wanted to get my point across...jeesh..

 

[RI Chevy]

I think I might have double vision. Lol

 

[whitesnake]

Wow great scores there. Wish I could find some 241's for that price haha. Can't blame you for buying them all. I have a ts760 myself. Huge motor...it will make a man out of you.

Wife says I need to narrow it down to 3

Tell her she needs to narrow down her shoe collection to 3.

Touche.

~1.5 years after receiving them, I finally (mostly) finished sorting and sharpening 8-10 gallons of chain! I still have two .325 chains for my MS250 I need to sharpen, but I don't have a grinder wheel that size yet. The 3 five gallon buckets of mostly sorted chain have finally disappeared from under my bench, for now. The $200 I paid for my Oregon 511(?) grinder is seeming like one of the best investments I've made, since it has salvaged a grand or so's worth of chains and the milling chains it created helped to put a few hundred bucks in my pocket.

 

[RI Chevy]

Any photos of your cutters after being ground?

Sadly I think I have more boots than her, I might lose that argument.

If you have a 3D printer you can make some chain hangers with the sizes printed into them (or of course use tape to label it whatever sizes you have). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4461314

edit: a dowel works too obviously, but I like the grooves in those 3D printed ones. I might put a dowel on the lathe and make grooves to keep the chains from getting tangled when I'm not looking.

Nope! I'm not a real big picture guy for projects/tasks. Put a finished saw, truck, etc in front of me and I'll get a pic or two but midstream taking pictures is the last thought on my mind.

I don't have a permanent or even temporary bar/chain wall, so I just loop up my chains and stash them in Husky parts bags. Since I only have a few different gauge/driver count bars, it's not as big of a concern. For instance, one bag will say 272/28, which means the chains are for the 28 inch, 0.050 D009 bar on my 272. All of my Husky bars shorter than 36 are 0.050, all my Stihl bars are 0.063, and all my Macs use oddball chain counts so I only have 1 chain for them.

Maybe next time you grind you can remember to take a pic of your finished cutter?

I'm lucky if I can remember what I did 5 minutes ago, but I'll try.
I was looking through the pics on my phone and I noticed I actually had taken a few random pics while playing with the chains, so here you go! I think the rakers are a little low on the Stihl chain, but I'm curious to hear all y'all's thoughts. The last pic shows a weird mark I saw on a .325 Oregon chain, I think I saw another variant on a different chain as well but I forgot to get a pic.
