CAD kicking in...Stihl 036 Pro (PICS)
I picked up a used/parts saw from the small engine shop last friday for $25. It looks nice on the outside but a bit rough on the inside...I'd say abused.
The piston is definatly shot, havent got to look at the cylinder walls other than through the exaust port-I see some light scoring/coloration but not sure yet on full extent of damage. The muffler front cover+bolts is missing along w/ 2 screws from the recoil cover.
The 20" stihl branded bar (lettering worn off for further ID-didnt happen to look at the etchings by the powerhead end) is shot-rails wore down and sprocket tip teeth wore down to a point. Chain is 3/4 life but the drivers are worn due to overly worn sprocket.
I really saw/realized what the saw had been used for before the top end toasted when I took off the clutch cover....bale saw-was used for cutting round balage apart for easier feeding (not on saws though). It finally dawned on me when I found twine wrapped around the drive shaft behind the sprocket...and the I smelled the "grass" on the clutch cover and could still smell the sweet fermenting smell from the balage.
So far I've gotten the clutch/bar stud area cleaned up. I've pulled off the sprocket (wore way past the marks-couldnt get a good pic of that) and drum. The drum doesnt seem to be worn too bad (other than where the clutch shoes make contact is all scored to a blue color-replace or useable??)but I've gotta get a pair of calipers to measure thickness. It has a lot of burned on balage and oil. Needle cage bearing is all caked up-not gonna frig w/ it, just gonna get a new one.
My question for right now is concerning the clutch. being that the drum looks to have been overheated, is there a way to tell if the clutch too has become overheated and may become faulty??? the clutch itself if full the the burned on oil/balage and the oil pump area behind it, so im going to remove the clutch and clean that out and inspect the oil pump. I looked through the Service manual (Thanks West Texas) torque tightening section and cant seem to find the specs for the clutch...what should it be??
Thats all for now...just figured I would share my find and ask a few questions
