That 250 is a monster though, wouldn't even think of using it for anything other than large bucking. It is just a stepping stone for me until I get into the 90 cc class saws. Already super glad I decided to get the roll of chain. One prefab loop at the dealer ran $50. Uh, no thanks. Chain pocket breaker worked flawless, but a spinner would be well appreciated in the future. Too much banging and I'm not happy with the results of peening over the rivets. Should still work fine though.

That's from Texas, not naming names.

You got an anvil, that's what we use when we have to pen the rivers on the sickle mower when we replace the cutter teeth.

And a concave punch.

It came with a concave punch, alebit not the most precise one. And for the anvil part, the best I got is the large plate on the pocket breaker. The only larger hardened surface is the vice back which we all know isn't very hard. Still looking for a small old anvil sometime locally. Don't see very many at flea markets.

Those are hard to come by, a lot of them were scrap metal to folks cause of the weight. We have a large one dad redone and still has the original cutter. It was my son in law's late grandfather's. He gave it to us before he past away, its at the farm. Dad also has one at his house in the shed we've used for years, alone with the old coal burning burner for heating steel. Don't know what the thing is called. He had put an old a.c. blower on it years before my time. Last time we used it the motor had finally quit so we temporally rigged a shop vac to it to smelt some lead for a large weight to mount on front of the tractor.

I know the one at the farm is heavy, had to lift it with the bobcat to mount it on a post we've got buried 6' deep to hold it in place. Also made a steel plate and stiffeners to mount to the post to secure it anvil in place. Guarantee no one is going to steal it.

My 5400 starting to come together, taking my time to build it right.

I got out my completely rebuilt 028 super and it only runs on gas in the carburetor. Carburetor, fuel line and impulse line are all new. Is it possible the impulse hole in the cylinder got blocked with motoseal?
