A big thank you is order for Teddy.Scout and ugl. Teddy is going to do his magic on the muffler, blasting it clean, brazing the holes, and whatever else he has in mind for it. Ugl is having the handle welded for me. I believe he said the welder has experience welding on nuclear subs. Thanks guys!:clap:

I got most of the parts from the dealer today. Of course, the handle support was on back order, where it will probably remain forever, lol. I removed the carb, installed the oil pump impulse hose, fuel line, installed a rebuild kit in the carb, and replaced the fuel cap o-ring. As soon as I get the handle bar, muffler, and handle bar support, she'll be ready to go. Unfortunately, I don't expect all that to come together until after New Years.

I got the hardware for the upper handle mount.

Tell me what you guys think. Would it be worth purchasing a 36" hard nose or roller nose bar and 1/2" chain for this saw before selling it? I can borrow the B&C from my 090G to make test cuts and a vid to sell it with. But, how might it affect the selling price with the saw missing the bar and hard to find 1/2" chain?
 
Dennis Cahoon has two new Oregon #32 chains we could buy. One has 58DL and the other 62DL. My 36 Stihl Duromatic bar takes 84DL. I would put the two chains together and have 36DL left over. The chain is $1/DL, so would cost $120. I don't know what a 36" Duromatic would cost. What says the masses? This isn't my saw or my money. I just want to maximize the returns on investment.

1-loop of #32 Oregon 0.63 58 drivers-new

Upper handle mount hardware?

Brad

Do you have all of what you need, or is it coming, for mounting the upper handle mount? If not, I or someone could draw it up in 3D and someone with a CNC mill could cut it out for you.

I got that crap on lock down too!


I am thinking:
40+" Stihl Duramatic with one loop of each of the following. (3 loops total)
-Loop of 1/2"
-Loop of .404
-Loop of 3/8 RS
All running .063 gauge.


Any thoughts.
This would be a great saw for GTG's and all around use! (bucking, felling, milling, showing off, ect.)

Matt- does the saw have sprockets enough to support all those pitches of chain?

Brad, I'll have a look through my bars tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
I'm assuming the saw has a 1/2" sprocket now.

Ok, that levels the playing field. I'll see if I can come up with a bar.

It may be easier (and a bit deeper!! LOL)
For me to just use a bar here to get drive links right.
For auction reasons, I have some REAL CLEAN Duromatics I have never used.
This seems to be the best use of one!!!

Brad, I will supply the:
-badass rim sprocket
-duromatic bar
-rims (all needed)
-and chains for each

This should make a NICE package.


The wife sanctioned all this since stumpy has Mastiffs!
 
That's one cool donation Matt. I can find something cool to throw in as well.


JJ,
I can-could only beg borrow and steal,
You have the WEST COAST connections!!!!!
Remember, George Washington took all of our big trees here in Ohio!



After lying out chain, and measuring links and finding the straps I have a solid 1.25 hours of sleep before getting back on the poles and connecting wires!! "Stay thirsty my friends"..................
