I did, didn't do much of anything but water the place. Was a good day and hope that you also enjoyed the day
We went out on the boat, kids and grandkids had fun. First time I've taken it out in four years, ran like a top. Grand boy loved tubing, not for me, too scared of getting something hurt.

When you need to do some test cuts and your cutting area outback is still standing in water. Improvise and overcome the set back. aka redneck.

Nice property!
Cleaned up my 306A a bit this afternoon,swapped out a few better parts that were on a recent ''parts donor/project'' purchase (go figure lol)
Newer better muffler,unbent cushioned handlebar,practically new clutch cover,nicer AF cover & a NOS spike I forgot I had buried in a parts drawer in the saw shack. Sure wont perform any better (ran like a raped ape a couple weeks back) but looks nicer IMO.

I grabbed one of the projects I bought over the last few years. Since it seems everyone wants a runner not a project to do themselves.
I was told this one was a runner when I bought it PHO. Dang it was, after a quick check over . Took alot of air and brushing to get some of the jammed packed chips everywhere. One of those saws that must have never been cleaned. I even left the old fuel line and impulse line as they looked ok to test with. 1999 Poulan 3450 54cc
I even dug through my parts and found 1 3750 380 60cc OEM used piston and cylinder kit.
IMO I wouldnt change it from the 54cc being it cut so dang good just now in some dry ash with 16" 3/8 buried. With that big dawg maybe 14" cutting.
Pulled them dang epa stops too while tuning. Piston looked like they had been running old mix over the years. Think the batch I am running now is VP racing 40:1 e-free 90. Wondering how long to see if it is cleaning it up.
Some wrong fasteners but I dont give a rip about such things myself.

I found one of those not too long on cl, guy wanted 90 and i was already eyeballing that 3400 bowsaw I purchased. I was like , what do I do, one too many decisions.
I had never seen a pleated air filter like this one so jammed packed when I started on it. 
Could you get anymore in it?

Filter and mating surface all did its job though. No fines in the carb, like you see today on these newer saws.
Was a flocked filter. Not the mesh like shown with it. The inside of filter still looked new.

Kevin , I have a PP330 that came with a air filter that clogged but I've never seen one with a dawg that has a 90* bend on the bottom tooth .
I've had a few saws come in with that rare option. I can only imagine how dull of a chain they were running.

Yep , the ol' primitive pete maintenance program .
I must be missing something or I can't see it, the bent dog.
