Just finished restoring this Jonsered 490. This is 50 cc features heated handles fed from heat exchanger in the exhaust you can see the spring leading into the handle in the video inside that is a Teflon tube. A second tube runs into the trigger area. These are oddball in that they are actually...

The most important thing about restorations that I learned doing radios is keeping the costs sensible. The best paint would be a color matched single stage catalysed automotive enamel BUT you must buy a quart plus reducer and hardener so it just can't be justified unless the saw is super rare...

Note though the Duplicolor Engine Enamel clearcoat does protect the decals well (without damaging them, many clear coatings would need a shot of acrylic lacquer on the decals first) it makes the paint super glossy and a bit mottled. I ended up using 0000 steel wool to reduce the gloss on the...

Well a few hours after I finished the video a 2 ft. diameter tree fell on my deck in a fierce storm. It was a bizarre coincidence the Homelite was fueled and waiting by the door so I could cut my way out into the back yard! John H.

I saw my neighbor uses this old classic instead of his more modern saws SO I finally pulled my XL-12 from the shed and degreased her. Two weeks later she looks almost new, not quite as slick as some I've seen here BUT I had fun. Plus it's red white and blue even! Happy 4th all! Slideshow with...

A Seller With CAD.....New Hamster Many chainsaw models. Stihl Husqvarna Jonsered Echo McCulloch John H.

Mid New Hampshire Jonsered CHEAP A bit far for me, don't think it's posted yet- Jonsereds 49SP Chain Saw Needs Some Work

I posted this in its first incarnation, I think the issue is "...I know pretty much what this stuff is worth on Ebay...." :msp_thumbdn: John H.

Ad is gone, he sold it tonight I guess- just when I decided to call. NOW I know not to look a gift horse in the mouth, or rely on the Acres site to heavily! Thanks though, John H.

I texted the guy 2 hr. after ad went in, no reply- yet. It's SO cheap there's something odd I fear- or it went the first hour most likely. Will report if I end up with it, didn't see it on the Acres Collector's list so I thought it wasn't real but I guess the newest stuff isn't on there yet...

WHAT is a Husky 359? Actually a Husqchina? HUSQVARNA CHAIN SAW 20 INCH BLADE model 359 :rolleyes2: John H.

I'm working on a Stihl 048 that suffers from small actual holes and pits due to both wear and corrosion of the die cast magnesium. I can fill them easily enough with epoxy paste before painting. BUT my experience with small engine carbs is that once aluminum/magnesium begins to corrode there's...

Central New Hampshire- Mess O' Saws Chainsaw alley with trimmers blowers etc... John H. PS- EDIT oops I see this was gotten already!

This is really gold metallic paint, not a Photoshop job like the Hello Kitty model. I've worked with a silver version by Alclad, and the stuff is amazing. You apply it over a gloss black base. John H.

Forgive me if you've all seen this already, we need to teach these artists how to adjust a chain- http://peter-gronquist.deviantart.com/art/gold-louis-vuitton-chainsaw-87673768?q=favby%3Afuyuyukiflakes%2F31107148&qo=1 John H.

The lubricant that finally seems to have stopped the sticking? Triflow- wasn't my first choice but it has worked for several weeks where 2 antiseize compounds and several types of grease failed in a few days. John H.

It's an electric Mall- cool as well as heavy, cord weighs even more than saw. Price is right! :D John H.

Southern NH- 18 Saws $200- "I have 18 homeowner chainsaws that do not run. I don't have the time right now to fix them and just want to make some room in the shop. I am offering them forsale as a lot for $200 firm. Some of the saws are Husky 36, Husky 41, Stihl 015 etc."...

I hate eBay too sorta BUT it's still by far the best way to get good value for an obscure item. I used to mind the Paypal Only part until I realized it's the only way I want to pay for things on eBay anyway. Or you can "find" the value of an item that you don't know much about- you put it on...

Study this ad carefully. The style of misspelling is just too consistent. The advertiser is making fun of the illiterate ads we so dislike. Foar instense wuld you thenk thes wais a reel, Sirius centance? John H.
