good job, makes me want to try and port a saw, I'll leave it to the professionals until I just get bored and find some patience.

I used an air grinder with different carbide burrs and diamond stones. I definitely gave my air compressor a good workout, lol.
Yeah, I was pretty nervous about screwing something up, so I made sure to have a degree wheel. At least that way I could try and figure out what went wrong, lol.
As far as my user name goes, I suppose I'm as country as anybody that grows up in rural Missouri. That name is something that was given to me in the form of a call sign on the radio about 8 years ago, lol.
Give it a shot! It did take me a good bit of time. There was a lot of checking, reading, sending texts, asking questions, then grind a little and repeat, lol. This was a multi-day, MULTIPLE beer project.

You'll really love that 036, if you give it a good massaging!!

Yeah, I might dig into the 036, but might have to sell it to make room and free up cash for other projects.

I just thought I'd share a video of me playing with this saw. I was noodling up a big mulberry and thought I'd share.
Here's the largest section of that tree that day. There was a bigger section we cut up before that, but didn't get any pictures of that

I see that the jug was cryovacked in the first pic. Was it AM or OEM?

Actually, I ended up using a used OEM cylinder and a Meteor piston. That AM jug went on a different saw.
