What's on your bench?

[drf256]

Would it work?

Umm...

No

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. You guys had me going. Lol

 

[RI Chevy]

I was already rolling up my change from my piggy bank.

028S on an 026 certainly may.

An 034/6 jug is massive compared to an 026 jug.

Almost finished 2 things so far today. Both need a bit more time.

My gravy and @RI Chevy 460

So when do you think you may get the opportunity to put that beautiful beast into some wood?

 

[RI Chevy]

I told Doc not to rush on it. I think he may still be waiting on a few parts. Maybe a week or 2. He has a tough couple of weeks ahead of him with no time off.
I am sure he will post up that video as soon as he runs the saw. [emoji106]

 

[MustangMike]

It looks great Jeff, and knowing Doc, it will run great also!

 

[RI Chevy]

I am sure it will. [emoji106]

It still needs some work.

I had a surprise bar stud issue. One of the two is getting the case side drilled and tapped for the 056/Stihl repair stud this week. If that isn't 100%, it's getting a case split, different case and new bearings while I'm in there.

Hoping to have it in wood next weekend if it's fixed up and the foot of snow here is melted a bit.

I really like the 3/4 wrap Mike.

Picked up this 009 which for some strange reason the big end roller bearing are in the bottom of the case
never heard of that before unless some one has pulled the top off not knowing the bearings will fall out
so clean it up and strip it down and check the rod out once its split in 2

I like those saws.

The guy next door (his father was an auto mech) tells me he has filled holes and re drilled & tapped them using Loctite PL Premium. If you try it, just give it 2 days to dry.

That stuff has worked very well for me gluing in lock nuts for the lower dog/chain catch bolt.
