What's on your bench?

[Woodslasher]

Why do I always put new bearings in a carcass I'm building? Because even though they may roll real nice they can still be dirty. Most of the hybrid 660 parts I've been waiting on showed up tonight, but I'm a slacker so there's not going to be any progress any time soon.

On my 272 I have one that rolls really good and one that is a little "stiffer"...I should play it safe and just get new ones while it is still split apart.

Dolmar PS-550 muffler, part of the baffle broke off (the little piece on the top right) and rattled within the muffler.
Not chancing it finding its way into the combustion chamber, full muffler mod is underway.

I think this is the one he is referring to:

Ugly Stihl 064 overhaul

My freind sent me a MS661c 'that wouldn't turn over'. Ominous signs on opening the muffler:

And rebuilt with new meteor piston, air deflector, and pto side oil seal. Cylinder cleaned up OK luckily. Friend is extremely happy to have it back so quickly as he was intending to cut wood with it over the Christmas break.

That is awesome to hear. I have been surprised by a few cylinders that I thought would not make it, but clean up enough to have a second life!

Link don't work, but found the thread thanks to the title

Ugly Stihl 064 overhaul

It seems my 064 decided to stop oiling the bar. It still oils the bench, the shelf it sits on, the back of my truck or the bucket of my skidsteer from the case half gasket. So, I've decided to give it a full tear down. This will be in real time. It's deer season and im also working on an engine...

I’ve thoroughly washed many bearings that looked like that and never had one fail on me. To be clear if I’m rebuilding a saw for someone else it gets new bearings. But not a single one of my saws has ever received new bearings and I’ve never had one fail.

2016 ford flex 180k bad wheel bearing


Steel bearing housing seized to the aluminum carrier
Broke 2 shop hammer's
Before notching the bearing and using bolts to push the bearing off
Twas a *b-word.

AutoZone gold battery finally died in my truck
and 2 Walmart 65.00 battery's died one in my daily driver but they were less than two year's old.

I don't remember if I posted any of this here already...local tree service outfit is pretty hard on saws. The owner dropped off 10 a few weeks ago to see what could be done. There was one more top handle saw that didn't make the photo.



The 038 just needed a good cleaning and some minor repairs, the 362 required a carburetor kit and some small items, the two 261's both required carburetor kits, one needed the buffers for the air filter base, both needed sprockets, from the 6 top handles I was able to make 4 runners, one missing a muffler and clutch cover but he said he had more broken saws in the barn.

What is your process to wash them out and prep them for reinstall?...I am willing to give that a try since it is my saw.

Bought my 700.00 2006 4x4 Silverado a year ago i haven't driven it since spring
I put it on the road this week
The front brakes were making a grinding noise like they bad under braking
Tore it down for nothing
Has new brakes just a few hundred miles on them
I found the receipt in the glove box
Bi metallic brakes grind some i guess.
I'll resurface the rotors
Wheel bearing tight and free spins no grinding.
Brother's yukon died so he gave me 4 new tires less than 500 miles and the wheels
I have to replace a stud on my truck.
