What's on your bench?

[MustangMike]

Trust me, you don't want to know!!! Lots of Lee's saws are Unique, and look like they escaped from the museum of chain saw dreams!

101B Kart motor. Those are factory weights used on all the 123cc Mac's.
I was changing the rim and tapped on the crank to remove clutch. Then
went to start it and it was locked up. Never tap on one of those cranks.
I should have known cuz I did it once before.

If it didn't happen from you tapping on it, it probably would've happened anyway while it was running.
I'd say you were very lucky...

I think Bill makes a great point!

You can see the vids of it in the Upstate NY GTG section.

I will look that up

It's a fun saw to run and most want to run it but only a select few will.

Completely understood sir!

Only had a few minutes, didn’t even take off the finish on the flat sheet

what is this bro?

 

[usmcbuckwild]

Any of you machinists familiar with older model LeBlond lathes? I have an opportunity to pick one up but can’t find a model or serial number (data plate is completely faded out and unreadable). I have a few pics of it but they are grainy and not very detailed.

It is a manual gear change, not servo, engine lathe. From what I can find it is not a Regal.

I know where a little one is lol.

 

[Moparmyway]

what is this bro?

Its a fabricated plate for the cast 088 muffler. I didnt want to use the stock deflector, and instead of ruining the oem one, I just put this one together quickly. I used 0.125" flat with 1.25" thin wall tubing. Should pick up a bunch, but my 395 has two of these openings ......... looking to either get a new generation 880 muffler to modify (probably either get a new style cylinder too or weld up the oem cylinder to accept the new style exhaust bolts) or cut into the cast muffler and add another 1.25" outlet. Probably use AC TIG with aluminum bronze filler rod ..................

Maybe I will find another cast muffler to play with first .................

Lee, I am curious to know what kind of money does it take to build something like that? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I think that saw is badass and would love to build or have a saw built like that. Not sure I have the knowledge to build it would love to source the parts and maybe have it done.
Thanks, Dan

I don't mind answering. This would be approx. what this saw cost me.

Yikes! More than all of my sawz combined. Lol

Thank you! Off to the interwebs

And I forgot to add in the cost for the HR carb at 200.00,
the slopper intake manifold at 100.00, air filter 50.00

After all that it's great to see it get some use, and not just sit on a shelf.

Lee, your cart saw is gorgeous and strong, but I think your 166 hybrid is even stronger, correct? Often so tough to tell with different B+Cs. I know the 166 is an absolute beast!
