Still like that video and look forward to the EQ modded and compared to the 026.. If it even comes close to the 026 that would be awesome! Your 026 would kill my little 023 Mike!

Thanks I missed that post!

Hello all, Can anyone tell me how the large Quake compares to my Stihl 023 if the muffler is modded and the carb adjusted? Will the Quake be more powerful than the 023? Thanks, Ray

Congrats and welcome! Your CDW looks like it's in good shape! I sold my large CDW a few weeks ago and built a new hearth and a new Pacific Energy Alderlea T-5.. My old CDW served me well it was just time for a change and the T-5 has a great view of the fire especially when the secondaries kick...

Good luck with the new stove and welcome to the forum! I believe that bsearcy who is a member here has this stove.. I do know it is older than mine probably mid 1980's vintage.. Yes you can buy gasket mat'l from a stove shop just make sure the gasket density is similar to what you're replacing...

In my case I had a CSIA certified sweep inspect the chimney and he took pics and wrote a report and I notified the ins. co.. The sweep sent along the pics and the report then the ins. co. sent along their expert and they agreed I had a fire.. Bottom line my liner cost me the $500.00 deductible...

If you have any cracked chimney liner tiles you need to install an insulated s/s chimney liner.. This happened here and my homeowners insurance covered this.. In my case my old liner had to be busted out 1st because my chimney tile was not big enough to fit an insulated s/s liner.. The stove...

Way to go JI that looks better than new! I like the longer bolt you used with the unthreaded shank that will make it tighter and stronger than the original bolt.. So when you gonna try firing it up? Ray

I assume you are talking about the blank metal plates that are mounted to the shaker grates? If so mine are still there too.. As for having a wood stove in a bedroom I think you're right as it may be against building codes so you should look into that.. Been real busy here stacking and moving...

Hi Brandon, I didn't know that sorry not trying to pass bad information around.. Thanx for the heads up.. BTW did you buy the FA264CCL you talked about earlier? Ray

Happy Birthday JI!! Wow JI sounds like you're kickin' a$$ and takin' names! Very nice work and you did the right thing upsizing that bolt after breaking a tap and removing it.. Like you said if it loosens up just add a nut and washer and you'll be good to go.. I would not cut the probe...

Oh OK I remember that stove now.. Yes it looks pretty good.. Your stove legs and cat should fit on that stove too Brandon.. If you have a cooktop yours should also fit that stove.. Let me know how you make out on that stove.. The only difference between my stove and the cclr is the side load...

Good pics JI! OK it looks like your crank rod is correctly mounted to the crankshaft that pin on the small casting attached to the crankshaft goes into the damper door hole that is cast into it and should work.. I may need a pic of the top of the damper door to be sure your door is not missing...

Hey Brandon! That stove(264cclr) is a mirror image of this one except it is right door loading.. It'll keep you plenty warm for sure.. Just make sure the inner top is in one piece as they seem to be unavailable now.. Personally I'd look for a 2461 which replaces these stoves and parts are...

I agree Brandon!! I don't want JI to throw in the towel when he is so close to success!! BTW how ya been Brandon? Your stove still purring along there? Ray

Yes take a pic and I will see if I think it's correct.. Don't give up now you're almost there! Others please feel free to chime in on this.. Ed I know you're a mechanical guy what's your advice? Ray Ray

OK 1st the stove looks great!!! 2nd the gasket for the bypass damper is 3/8" not 3/4".. If you are using 3/4" that would not allow the damper to close properly or lock into place or if you just typed 3/4" by mistake I bet you have the bypass damper link from the rod to the damper in wrong.. As...

It's a very simple crank mechanism that goes past the 90 degree point and must lock into position.. A visual check should reveal what's going on.. Adding the gasket will definitely make you use extra force to overcome the resistance or something is wrong... Ray

With a new gasket it takes a bit of force to lock the damper down.. Whether the furnace cement will do the job remains to be seen.. I would advise that you clean/inspect your chimney regularly to avoid problems such as a chimney fire.. As long as you stay on top of things you should be OK.. I...

Way to go JI! BTW I am pretty sure you can substitute a 13/64" drill bit for a #7... Waiting for the pics here!! Oh I looked at your pics at Flicker(?) and I think the orange bird at your hummingbird feeder is an Oriole.. They love fruit such as oranges.. Beautiful birds to look at along with...
