What's on your bench?

[Tor R]

Try some 'Silicone" grease on the band. That stuff is a slippery as snot on ice !!

good idea Simon.
I think most of my problem with plastigauge is a dry band, should had learned the lesson by now since I've used them for two years

 

[Stump Shot]

Some saws to clean up, ditched in my basement for the last 20,,a surpise,,View attachment 59722 View attachment 59723

A surprise? A Simonds Royal Chinook is like hitting the lottery. An awesome find indeed, the whole lot of them. I'd be dancing in the street right now. Lol

They the wifes Dads/Uncles. And he probably used them, I also have the sets.
I guess I will have to use very secure mounting on them. When I found them I was thinking I could get $200 for all four,,the wife say put on the wall @ our cabin,,,guess they are going there. The wifes parents were raised in the 30s tossed nothing out,, they passed 30 years ago so I got some old stuff.

I'm not the end all know all of cross cut saws by any stretch of the imagination, but I will say this; I think when you find out the true value of what you have there,(depending on what the other three turn out to be) I think you'll be glad that your wife stopped you and did not sell them for 200 bucks. As a Royal Chinook in good shape will bring in some dough all by itself, those were some of the best crosscut saws ever made. Measure the tapered thickness ground into the blade from middle to end and top to bottom and you'll see why they have such favor still today, as the equipment to make them is long, long gone.

So I went and had a good look at the other three, 2 you cant make out, nothing on them, but the other double handled one is also a Simonds, but its almost unreadable, if I didnt have one to compare it you couldnt. And the name is only on one side, on both. It also has a different tooth pattern.

It will still have plenty of compression. 181 cylinder will make 185-190 with gasket delete.

Figured it would be about that with its tiny little chamber.
Should be bang on where I like em to run

May not be OPE related, but gots to do some surgery on my college daughters' 17.3" HP Envy, touchscreen laptop. I always get stuck with the f'd up jobs. Then if it goes wrong, the ol' Jarhead gets the scapegoat blame run up his azz! Amazing how it works ain't it?

You can keep the huskys and send the stihls to me That should help free up some bench space for you.

Mission accomplished on the college daughters' 17.3" HP touchscreen, laptop...I hate even thinking about f'n with these things. Every time something f's up, it's always 'take it to Dad, take it to Dad.' I don't mind screwing with this kinda stuff, it's just always a damn gamble whether or not I can fix chit like this. I run computers and software every day doing avionics/electrical/flight control checks on C-17's, but I ain't no neighborhood computer fix-it man if ya know what I mean.

CFB, I was thinking of a similar response, seeing a 044 and 460 ...

 

[Brewz]

The auto tune husky is getting picked up shortly after it was fed mix made from fuel and cactus poison, the 460 has been ported and rebuilt for a friend, the 044 has a dead crank and is getting fixed and ported, the 181 husky I have ported and rebuilt but it's got carb issues, a 661 in the back to be fixed and ported, an 084 waiting on a pull rope holder thingy, a blower to fix and an 084 body to be fitted with an 090 cylinder

 

[Brewz]

But wait, there is more.
A box of ported rebuilt 084 just waiting on a meteor piston to arrive


10mm 044, husky 480CD, husky 575, old echo 501, 2 x 084's and 2x husky 350's to fix
Oh, and a husky pole saw and my brothers 044 that are burried under boxes



And the ones I have chucked out the back and can't be bothered with



I think there is a little dolmar buttied in all that somewhere too

Won't suck fuel
New carb... same thing
Will pop if I pour a bit of mix in it.

It was a tip find and free

Motor is coming out next. I'm thinking VERY Bad crank seal
