[Locust Cutter]

Well, we all got back from the lake today. We hadn't been able to make it all season, and with my surgery looming it would likely be next seaon before another opportunity came up so we dropped everything else to do it. The Kids, Wife, best friend, Dad an I had a blast!

Pencil Dad and I in for Ft Scott tentatively (provided I'm up and mobile by then). I will NOT be running saws but would love to see everyone and BS with Jim, Steve, Cobey, Matt, Awol and whoever else makes it.

Well, I'm now Jeepless. Straight up trade for a 2002 F150, 4.2 V-6, 5 speed 4X4.
Now all I've got is Ford stuff. Except for the tractor.

The only thing I'd be careful with is to check your oil and coolant levels regularly - I had a '97 F-150 with the 4.2 and it ran great. Had I not of changed the oil early due to an impending trip (checked it rarely as it didn't burn any) I wouldn't have caught the coolant in the oil. There are two coolant passages going from the block through the timing chain cover. When the seal fails, the coolant goes straight own into the oil pan. More than a few have hydro-locked this way and grenaded themselves. I was lucky to catch it before that and that is a PITA job to do. The kicker on mine was that the cover had been cracked and JB welded on the inside from the factory. I was the second owner and my best friend was the first, buying it with 4 miles on the clock... That was only one of a myriad of that tuck's problems.

Decided to drag something out of the goat barn.

You couldn't guess that it hasn't been touched in at least the last 10 years.

I was going to ask if you were a Shriner or not... I haven't been active (or paid my dues) in a while but will likely resume once the kids are older and I have a bit of money to play.

ya....... weird looking thing

Joe Salva has diaphragm and gaskets for them.

They will run and cut at 90 psi.

Likely .058" guage. And, 7/16" pitch on the chain.

Most Bantam types are set up for the 7/16" x .058". Some are .404" x .058".

The piston looks good from the bottom side

Dirty and/or carboned up ring grooves from running 16:1 Dino oil.

The Tilly HL requires the access holes for the jet screws in a different location than the Carter. Doable if willing to swap right side half or drill holes.

Sugar Creek Supply (Joe Salva) has Carter carb kits for 23-25 bux.

Or, simply order the ND kit from Chain-saw-r.com (leave out the dashes).

Joe might not be inclined to sell direct to a first timer.
