Finished up next round of mods in testing 462. Pin on these is quite a bit thinner than 046. View attachment 156939View attachment 156940View attachment 156941View attachment 156942View attachment 156943

It would be awesome if you started a new build post so this doesn’t get buried in here. I’m excited to see what you come up with.

Yeah but then that thread would get derailed on a case compression conversation and get buried again.

There is nothing that I would show that Scotty hasnt or will in his thread. I really just want to put in the numbers I think it wants but I believe Ill be leaving meat on the table.

This has been a fun saw so far.

Not exactly on the bench, but.....
and roughly half of the bolts snapped. I love a challenge.

Old school Craftsman top handle



Needs fuel lines and a plug. Hopefully the new plug will help diagnose if the coil is working or not.

If the coil is no good hit me up.

I have a few here to pick parts from. Make a list of what you need.

To be honest the rest of it appears to be in excellent shape. Unless you have one of the original ‘power sharp’ chains. This one seems to be at the end of its life.



Bar is still in pretty good shape, just needs to be dressed.

I will check the chains tomorrow.

I will check the chains tomorrow.

Thanks bud!

I’ve seen a few of these around but they are always trashed almost beyond recognition. This one has the original carry case and even the original handbook and paperwork for maint.

Dang that's a real nice one. I will check for the chain. Let me know on the coil. First few trees I climbed I used one of these saws.

Pouring here as I type. Been the wettest year I can remember. At times, I feel like I moved to Seattle without leaving the mountain...

The funny thing is Seattle doesn’t average that much rain, only 37” a year! Lots of grey days, were I am on the Oregon coast we average 88” a year

Its ALIVE!!

Darn carb looked like it had been packed with cosmoline. New fuel line, new filter, made a new chain adjuster tab, fixed the gas cap tank vent, sharpened the chain and ran it. Cool little saw. Snotty for its size.

That's a ridiculous amount of rain..! I have a buddy who lives in the Seattle area, & he's always complaining about the gloom. Where I'm at in VA, we average about 40" of rain annually. This year we are waaaay over that. I believe it's somewhere around 65" making it the the wettest year since 1889.

Either way, it's been wet & muddy most of the year. Glad I'm on high ground

A generous member gifted me this on a Holiday thread a while back....
Hard to see in pics. Rough in the angles with the guide and finish up freehand.

Is that a square file guide? A pic of your file???

 

[tickbitintn]

Nothing"fancy"
LOL

Business partner was having a meltdown today so I really needed to decompress a bit, this is what I came up with to clear my head.

Interesting, I use the same guide and did not realize that you can square file with it.
