What's on your bench?

[bulletpruf]

On the bench today? A 1971 Allis Chalmers HD 11E. Been sitting for about 20 years; was on the property when the guy bought it and he doesn't have any history.

It's roached, and I really have no interest in putting it on a lowboy and taking it home, but I am going to try to get it running, moving, and operating.

Got a 562xp MK1 that has super low compression. Scored on the exhaust side, have to get the carb off to see the intake side.

Bad seals or bearings?

Not sure yet, I was told it was straight gassed but looking like a leak as well.

Not being Dolmar literate, I was looking at it like it was a 43cc Husky I'd never heard of and was thinkin "gaddang that's a big intake" " and a decomp"?

Made a little more progress carb pile was not that promising took 3 carbs to make 1 good 1. Coming together swapped recoils from my 309 so the recoil has the newer generic sticker. Coming along fairly nice so far though

Any tablesaw left unguarded can turn into a bench. Any bench unguarded can turn into a shelf.

Putting this 350 together 44mm cylinder until I get the machine work done on my 346 and 353 cylinders

Is even an aftermarket 346 cylinder that much better than a 350 cylinder?

The dukes 346 cylinder saw Greg did for me is amazing and is as fast or faster than a ported 346 oe. I am sure stock it is definitely faster than this open port 44mm 350 cylinder. But I will be porting the 346 and 353 cylinders once I get the bases machined
