Just spitting a little here, but it's coming, temps are dropping, they issued a winter storm watch through midnight tomorrow night.

Clouds look heavy with something. Supposed to be raining later, and ice before church time in the morning, and lasting all day and night. I hope they're wrong again.

Just now starting to cool off. I hope we don't get any freezing rain down here. I can deal with anything else except that.

And, seven deg. above.............................................

Can I use a 3/16" hex (allen) wrench on the cylinder bolts on a J-Red? My bet is, the cap screws take 5mm but I don't have furrin' hex wrenchs.



Don't want to round off the hex socket screws. Yikes!

This be only the second foreign made saw I've tinkered up. Been straight gassed I think.

how do you split a bar end?

The nose sprocket falls out and the laminated bar halves split like a loaded cigar...

Morning,1 degree out, but the wind chill is way south of that. It has quit snowing for now, but round 2 is on the way.

 

[Oliver1655]

Have 10° here with about a half inch of snow. Ran into lots of black ice patches on the roads coming to work. Had to drive around 45 mph on the highways.

Be very careful make sure it is set deep in socket. or you can strip them.

Let me look I may have a good piston for the 670. Give me a call If you don't want to mess with it.
