Not my pics. I saw this one on eBay. I guess this was easier to do than to route it the correct way View attachment 369703

Cushions the grip... less operator fatigue.

I bought a 74 chevy 3/4 ton that someone had "fixed" the out of round rear brake drums... By removing the shoes.

Also looks like vacuum hose, not fuel line.

Could be used for a shut off to, squeeze hard and it will stop, they think of everything,,,,

My brother was given an 036, owner told him it just raced when it was started, and he didn't want to mess with it.
We pulled the side case off, and the clip and washer to hold the drive sprocket was missing, in place was a large hex nut, held in place by the side cover. We were shocked the side cover was not worn through. The motor racing was no more then throttle routing for the wire. 15 bucks, and it's running like a champ.

I claim the Mo-Ron trophy here. Put new PTO to deck belt on. Got the belt OUTSIDE the shroud keeper pins. Chewed belt up in 30 seconds. That's one sick feeling seeing smoke and rubber flying out.

This saw utilized the high tension wire for both spark and a shut off feature. The off/run switch had stopped working so a stick shoved in under the shroud pushed the bare copper wire to ground out on the cylinder shut the saw down.

Can't remember if I posted this but: Someone stripped the l.h. nut so they just brazed it on.



Worked great till it needed a new sprocket.

I saw a Dolmar saw once that had a broken AV mount and the owner, instead of buying a new mount filled the saw with RTV silicone between the two halves.
