What's on your bench?

"Ohio Pickers" did VERY well last night. Two 4" Wilton 9400 bullets, a Wilton C0 combination vise, and a Columbian 604. Four hatchets and a beautiful 10" folding draw knife.

 

[Duce]

Nice score! Got tired of buying cheap vises, bought a 500.00 Wilton and end of story.

Sold this to a customer 2 yrs ago and was my personal 254 xp before that. Parts can be time consuming to find now ...strong runners though.

Yeah mine need a new p/c oem 254, am 120, then I found a use KS p/c for 45 online. They guy had loads of Husky part and hesnon the east coast so hell you could be closer and the guy set a new definition for fast shipper.

Put a new Mahle piston and caber ring in this 1990 KS 254xp orange label ...one of the stronger runners in standard form iv worked on .
Good score for you that KS top end IMO.

Damnit man !!!

 

[bigbadbob]

I bought a running but abused 288, most of the screw holes are bad, 1 is broken off and no way to get it out, many attempted B4 me.
I happen to have a good set of cases off a 181.

Because you have to pull the handle and tank assy just to get a look under the hood?

 

[Keith Gandy]

Damnit man !!!

I had been lookin for a fs250 for 3 yrs now and lucked up on a local classifieds FB site and found 3 !!! . Motors good on all 3

 

[Cut4fun]

Bench 1 covered with the new stuff that is NLA reason for buying. Bench 3 a quick tear down to see if I got lucky on the 83cc. So far so good for the 83cc that lost fight with tree.

54cc 60cc 65cc 83cc

That's not the bad part....had the tank off in a couple minutes so I could pull the fuel line.....what is BAD is that stupid stihl owns walbro now(from what I have been told) and they are screwing us over on this stupid crap "Stihl only" carb kits. Why the hell does a carb kit need to be $23??? lol I mean c'mon! I checked a ton of the original walbro kits....looks like the WTF-9 is a whole new design. The K10-WAT works except for the diaphragm. Hoping to find an alternative out there so I can have a happy customer and not a ripped off customer. No reason a fuel system repair should be over $100!

Hey hey....watch that profaneness now.

i paid $90 for half a kit in a fs36 , thats a rip off, from the dealer to do it

 

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

Think I may have found it, funny the walbro site didn't list it! Doing some research it looks like the K1-WTF is the kit I need....which means I can charge $14.95 instead of $23......and not have to wait a year to get it. Checked availability on the carb kit from stihl and they don't even stock the dern thing! lol

 

[Stackowood]

I haven't heard anything about Stihl owning Walbro, but I guess its possible.
