[husq2100]

I've found that this is a good match.

Valspar 18-5339-31 "Bps''tractor/Implement Enamel 16 Oz - Husqvarna Orange

now all I have to do is find out if the post to Aus....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

If not maybe we can help ya!

 

[turtle561]

i got a can of the valspar husky orange. will have to run a sample next to the rustoleum to see how they compare.
while at at hardware store i thought this 3/4" elbow looked familiar in size to the 2100 exhaust port.real close, but had to cross cut the end, but it caught and theaded its way in. any port in a storm. lol

Pretty slick. A smooth front muffler also interesting. 2101 clutch cover w/brake?wink2:Obviously no longer there)

 

[turtle561]

it's a friends 298xp. the brake band & handle were broken so i took them off. don't know what is original to this model. might be a bit of a hybrid.
the muffler on my 2100cd is a side port with a recessed sq. at the face bottom, ready to be 'jungleized'

 

[husq2100]

I think I can see some ribs in that muffler, along with the square indent where the jungle louver would be??? being heavily rusted doesnt help...but pretty normal on these saws

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Looking good Allyn!!!!!!! Good eye on the saw Joe I did not notice that cover. Serge I liked your pics in the workking man thread buddy!

 

[husq2100]

what makes you guys think that it is a 2101 clutch cover

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I didn't think it was, just thought good eye for Joe to pick up on something different I overlooked, and did not notice. Besides it would have been the metal one. I believe plastic one was 298 as you mentioned that right?

 

[turtle561]

the 298 has a shallower plastic recoil starter cover w/2pawls on the flywheel. intsead of a mag cover & 3 pawl wheel like the 2100/2101 AFAIK.
a further look at the muff: it does have ribs on top and a recess on the bottom, it was just the angle in the photo...and the rust!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good info Allyn, your 2100 coming along pretty good eh?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Durand is building a nice 2100, makes me want a few more. If I had cash i would have severeral. Definately one of the best built saws my hands have seen. I think when he gets it done he will run it more than he thinks.

 

[turtle561]

yeah, all the big things are done, it's the little bits that get you though. i was blowing off the oil pump getting ready to put it in and i noticed that one of the roll pins on the back was gone !i mean it was there, it just fell out ! no pin- no oil to the pump. sxxx! it was 3mm but the closest size here is 1/8" so i'll be grinding one down to fit #?!*^%&! also waiting on a starter bushing 2 weeks from ebay.you get the idea. otherwise, cheers !

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good deal Al, and I hear you on the little stuff, sometimes I almost pulled my hair out. That handle will be in the mail soon! Got your pm and thanks! Like to see a pic of your saw soon.

Top shelf! The big husky

I'm pretty fond of the .750 copper elbows myself.

If you use Siver solder and a good flux it will stick to steel better than anything I have tried.

Here's an old 6 cube Sachs Dolmar we did last Summer:

 

[sachsmo]

not too big?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yeah buddy! You know I love your Dolmars! Top shelf my friend I am jeaulous. I want a couple.

I've had this thin ring 2100CD for a while but I couldn't get it to run right. Removing the carb limiter circuit really helped, see for yourselves.
