    Pets that like a warm fire

    Stubbs the American Staffordshire Terrier soaking in the radiation. I take his body surface temp with my laser handheld therm and sometimes he gets up to 120 degrees! My husky is usually at the other end of the house trying to get as far as he can from the stove. Sent from my iPhone...

    1st Post 1st Saw 1st Rebuild

    Yea I noticed some other rebuild kits didn't even include a new welch plug so it doesn't look like a lot of people replace it regularly. Thanks! While looking for parts I found a too good to be true deal on a 028 near running parts saw and a running 028 Super that just needs some TLC from a...

    1st Post 1st Saw 1st Rebuild

    Yep, to be as thorough as possible, and to learn everything I can, I replaced the welch plug with the new one. Drilled tiny hole in the existing welch plug (being careful not to bust through and hit the carb body), inserted a small flat head and popped it out. Hit the tiny holes hidden by the...

    Going forward with the rebuild I am going to try and locate a brake for it. Does anyone have a service manual for the 028 they can email me?

    1st Post 1st Saw 1st Rebuild

    Very true and some sage advice. Didn't know I came off so neurotic haha, I think I would describe my 'anxiety' as excitement. I am a fisherman and I rebuild reels and build rods, so this is a whole new world and it's got my mechanic juices flowing. Great looking saw and thank you for the...

    1st Post 1st Saw 1st Rebuild

    Thanks for the input and offers guys! Plastic handle indeed and I believe based on the threads I've read the case on my saw requires the old style brake that doesn't cross over on itself? I was also thinking of putting a 16" bar on it after reading that size seems to be the sweet spot on this...

    1st Post 1st Saw 1st Rebuild

    Stumbled upon this site AFTER I purchased my first saw and my head nearly exploded with the mountain of information. I just bought my second house and after getting a great deal on a wood stove I am now addicted to scrounging for wood. With that comes the need for a saw and borrowing my...
