What's on your bench?

[Woodslasher]

The missing link for this guy showed up a few days ago and I got tired of kicking a box full of parts so I slapped it together last night. I know the filter isn't oiled yet, I'm waiting till I get it running right so I won't be grabbing an oily filter every time I go to take the carb off. Big shout out to @Nate. for supplying the very rare n.o.s. fullwrap and spacer block I was looking for.

Is that a 346 with a 562 wrap.

Yep, good eye. I just got a spark screen-equipped muffler on it for fire season and got it off the bench and (theoretically) back in service.

 

[Outback]

Very nice, how did the fitment go? A couple pictures of the 346 please.

Last night's project, not perfect yet but I'm liking it so far.

I did this a little bit ago, but I discovered the perfect cylinder a/v spring for the 3/4 wrap on my 350. The cylinder a/v spring off a 390xp is pretty much the perfect length, it's a skooge long on mine, but if I tweak the handle like I want or trim down the plastic flare a wee bit it'll be just right. The 350 one I put a spacer under was too short and the wrap rubbed on the top cover, this guy gives it ~1/4" or so of clearance.

It was an hour or so with a vice and a bigass wrench tweaking, checking, tweaking, etc but not too bad. I cut ~1" off the tank mount, ground a slope on the end of a 660 wrap elbow, installed a 390XP cylinder a/v spring, and that was pretty much it. If I did it again I would be careful on the pto side, the wrap needs to have a zig in it to meet the tank right and I awkwardly spaced it instead. Once I realized the correct plan the wrap felt too fatigued to re-adjust.

I haven't looked at this 444SG - 1984, for 6-8 years, figured I'd do what I was planning to do at the time.
Now it got a new oem fuel hose & filter, plug, and new HDC51 carburetor.







Then we'll see if it start again.

I have two things left to do, heli insert for the top cover screw, and check / fix the handle heat.

Do you have it running yet Steve?

 

[sawnami]

Not yet, but it looks promising.

 

[Tor R]

Husky 40, good condition for being from 1978.








Will have a little check up on it, replace a few parts, considering keeping it since the value is much lower than the rarity of seeing these

What year was that saw made (approximately if you don't know for sure)? Its neat looking. It has an air filter like my Reed-Prentice 1200B.

Looking good, Nick. You going to use a windowed piston?

Around 1959 or 1960.

Not sure yet Jim. It had a full circle windowed piston in it still in good shape. I might try and re-ring it and see where it is compression wise. Would like to stay with a windowed piston though. I'm pretty sure I have fresh meteors on hand if not. Can't remember what the meteors looked like. Still early in the build, haven't got that far, lol! I just take my time and they get done when their done. It's a project saw of mine, not for anyone in particular.

Here's what I'm on...
