Super cool thread! Can anyone ID am 051 4624153? Thanks!

First things first. Find out why the piston bit the dust. If you've got an air leak, no amount of fairy dust or magic elixir will help. Continuing to run a saw that is not in proper order will only hasten its demise and possibly put you at risk.

If you can file into the cutter, great. Many, like me, can't seem to overcome the chatter this causes and just get by filing outward. Some say that you actually "smear" the chrome into the cutter (making a more durable edge) when you file out-to-in, but I just don't buy that.

That ain't no lie. If you over-spec and under utilize, you could be OK. If, however, you use the equipment up to it's rated and advertised capacity, you've got problems. That's NOT the way it's supposed to work! Who has never stalled their splitter on occasion? Who never gets to the second...

My thoughts exactly - the OP probably just got the original seller a repeat customer.

not quite a dremel tool, but some dude sent me a pic of a beaver and a sawzall... YOWZAA!!!

Check out various surplus sites, this looks like a good bang for the buck.

OP, don't forget to edit your sig, it still has that was as being yours. Just sayin'

I just use the Stihl Grey from the dealer. Prep is everything - use lots of paint thinner or other "clean" solvent, prime, sand, wipe, paint, sand, paint etc. - I like to hang mine over my woodburner and "bake" for a day or so, too. Make sure to de-booger your oil holes when you're done.

How much "conditioning"? True the rails? Replace nose? Close rails? Is there anything you can do yourself? I don't think there's much to these that's unique to them, just basic mechanics and metal working - make everything straight, square, smooth and true. One can do a lot with a properly...

I dunno about the not being able to be screwed on CL. Were OP to JB-weld a crank nut in place and flip it, knowing the saw was less than 100% but portraying it as 100%, would he not be screwing the new buyer? Even if new buyer looked and saw the nut "in place" and even starting the saw...

She's just gonna mark it up to market value and flip it...

Current wisdom is that the nose sprocket is lubricated by bar oil. Grease is not needed, gets flushed out anyway, and has the potential to hold crud that oil tends to push out. Just run it.

Ouch, didn't see the price. Yeah, I'd do it myself, too!

Youtube has a few, I just checked em a few days ago. LOUD saws!

I doubt you'll find any color coding - military puts aluminum tags on each wire indicating circuit number - get the tech manual for your model and you'll be set. The 24V system has double volts but half the amps as an "equal" 12V circuit. you may want to install LED bulbs or go to bigger...

1st post, asking for copyrighted material, requester is from Germany home of the owner of the copyrighted material, the materials requested are in English? I'll politely decline, thanks.

Did that... http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/41530.htm on a lark. I've since gained a 036 Pro that now wears the double spike/roller set-up.

Remember they just fell out of a truck... Story still sounds fishy to me, one would think that a guy with that class of equipment would be a bit more on the ball than to lose all 3 out of his truck. I smell a rat (or just a dumbass with more $$ than sense).
