Just put in a $200$+ order to baileys.... I have some good stuff coming.

Piston kit, gaskets, air filter, bunch of miscellaneous parts

I need bearings, oil pump cover, tank/ handle

I screwed up by sandblasting the bolts, wanted to coat them black but now they are just rusted and corroded, i don't think i should put that back into the case?

Ya, the bolts are cad plated, just leave them alone.
 
Wow...

with everyone offering you parts, you could have just junked the whole thing and put one together from offered parts!

Good work on the tutorial.

always learning, me....

I'd love to put together a rebuilding shop with PC/oven and SandBlaster... I'd have lots of use for a sandblaster on my acreage.

mine was around $100, my build thread for it is around, i'm pretty impressed with it. I thought it would suck, has some sand leak threw in spots but who cares.
 
This is a great thread Matt! Keep it up. I would have taken one look at that saw and never looked back. You have shown a little different light on that subject though.:clap:

First page I was waiting for a Punch Line though.... Figured you were going to show the Burnt saw and then magically show a "Brand new one":greenchainsaw:

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:monkey:
 
I admire your patience and work on this one, Matt !!

Personally, I would have dismantled some usable parts and dump the rest. Too much labour, parts, consumables involved in this one.

Hey, I'm checking on your bearings now, I have some bolts too I think, maybe not all you need, though.
