You all who have a small business know the drill...never enough time, never enough money...or both. Being as busy as we are, there is NEVER enough time to completely go through any of the nine saws that make up our little fleet. Each week I try to clean and service 2 saws...which ones depend on the work needed at the time. Three weeks ago "Grandpa" came up to the table...a trusty old 044 that has the honor of being our oldest working saw.
Looking at it, I thought "Geez, Grandpa, you are look'in a little thrashed. Your bar has seen too many trips to the belt sander. Your dawgs are bent. Paint's all chipped off. Your sprocket's really grooved. One of your bar studs is mostly stripped. Muffler's not rusty, but nasty looking. Maybe it's time to show a little love for the hardest-working saw on our crew"
So here he is, in the middle of rehab...
(BTW, how many of you can get away with your dining room table looking like this!!!!????)
So Gramps got a new bar, sprocket, chain, new factory big dawgs, plug, new bar studs, air filters, muffler painted with hi-temp, plastic polished, and a whole cleaning and detailing. Here he is now:
He's a real happy camper now...runs like a dream and LOUD (muffler mod).
044 FOREVER!
