What's on your bench?

[hacskaroly]

Too big for a bench, drug this junk out and started cleaning it up for summer.

What year is it?

The muffler and air filter can be installed in China, but the cylinder cover must be ordered, although it is far away 8

Shop is full this week. I was using the Struck to move fill sand into the site for the new building and the spiral retaining rings for the front left track sprocket peeled off. Parts are on the way.





Project was nearly finished.



I also picked up a McCulloch 4 HP air cooled outboard motor, hopefully I can make time in the near future to get it cleaned up for the display.

Been fighting my 036 pro for a while, try a few different carbs and still no luck, finally broke down and bought a new OEM carb! Runs like a champ now

 

[JohnnyBlade]

This thing is slick dudes! Thanks for the help. Added some more specialty tools to the collection. Didn't even know these existed. Guess I'll be working on more still clammys with less cuss words

If all else fails read the instructions and do it the right way

Been messing with these free-b saws, the 41 just wouldn’t tune. Would start and idle well, but would kinda rev up but acted way rich even with the h screw turn in a lot, just didn’t sound right. Ended up doing a mm, drilling out the center support, opening up the original outlet, then adding a second! Now it runs really good. Was such a turd!
And put the adjustable carb on the other free-b 170! What a difference actually sounds like a real saw now! Lol

You can change out the front chain adjuster to a side mount chain adjuster and make it even better!!

That will be on the list, and a .50 gage bar and some picco chisel chain!

Not long after @davidwyby posted a thread about 1128 series Stihl AV mounts, my 046 started buzzing my hands more than normal.

The annular mount had cracked. So I swapped it for the stiffer one, and did the one on my 460 at the same time.

I woulda sent you mine

Then again I haven’t tried felling with a 32” on it yet. Might be too soft

The 357xp I just rebuilt is flooding



And I accidentally dropped a 346xp…off the bench




Sad times on the bench this evening

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Ouch! That could be welded back inplace.

Hadn’t seen one of these before. Factory plug instead of limiter in Tillotson HS carbs. View attachment 456065

For a 32, I’ve always thought the black mounts were a little… Flaccid. Falling it does okay, it’s bucking using the dogs and moving the tip around limbing where I can really feel the wiggle and the rear handle moving and almost bottoming out on the mount with my somewhat ham-fisted approach when I was running my 460. Even the Stihl light bar felt jiggly. A lot of the time I run a solid bar, and I couldn’t imagine how bad that would be.

That 460 is probably going to wear a 32 all year and I really wanted the stiffer mount. It’s the most powerful (probably) saw I own right now & I just didn’t really put the thought into it until the 046 mount went down & I decided I would get two.

The next thing for the 460 is going to put the spark arrestor screen back in. Come mid-July things can get awfully dry here. I’ve not seen many… Maybe any sparks ever come out of a saw muffler, but I’d rather not play that game in a state where true wildfire resources are few and far between.
