Jay-

I'm going to use the parts to make a custom "rail saw" for a logger buddy. He's an older guy (76) that can't really lug around the TS-760 anymore.

If you have TS parts I can swap you. Mostly what I'm looking for is stuff to build a 410/420 for this guy.

cool!

So, what are you STARTING with? do you have a chassis yet? (ie: crankcase, tank, etc? )

I have some spare parts.. if you can MAG weld, I have a case that has a couple busted AV mounts :)

Basically all I have at this point is a top cover and handlebar. I can get a case welded up, no problem there.

I have a local guy who is excellent at welding mag and "pot metal."

LOL... :dizzy: I have to say, that's PROBABLY the most minimalistic starting point of a build I've heard of, but hey, i'm sure SOMEONE's started with something smaller... :laugh: :poke:



I could sure use that 575 now. LOL :poke:

That's not a cut-off saw, you crazy....

Oh, besides, it's packaged with,and promised to someone that also needs a 064 cyl, AV mount, and a couple other odds & ends :monkey: :potstir:

I've started with less. I built an 036 once, starting with that black "handle molding" piece that covers the pistol grip.

Which reminds me- I have a good 036 cylinder if anyone needs it.

I have parts to trade for someone to tell me HOW IN THE WORLD I can get the 'old' Feepay look back after clearing ALL 'net history

This NEW look is awful :mad:

After I ran CCleaner, feePay showed up with the listings in multiple columns (gallery view), not in a single column (list view) like I was used to seeing.

You'll find the View as: option just under All items.. Auctions only..Buy It Now..Products & reviews selections.

Be careful if you trade with Ed

Anybody have a good condition black padded seat for a riding mower? Can't have any mfg names printed on it..... just plain.
Got saw stuff to trade.

Just a note of warning to everyone: If you try to make a trade with Ed he will "one up" you. I sent him a NOS padded seat cover that probably wasn't worth the shipping cost and made him promise not to pay me. About a week later two (not one, but TWO) Solo chainsaws showed up at my door with a note that they were not mine, but projects for my son, Digger. Dang it!:bang::bang: I have wanted to tear into one of those for a while! Not the tiny ones mind you, but the 55cc variety. There's more than enough to make a good runner out of the two of them, and just in time for his 10th birthday later this month.

Thanks Ed. I hope your kindness is repaid many times over.
