P.s to anyone who is gonna prank call me now... I got some "pictures" you might be interested in! Hahahahahaha

I am looking for a "weed eater" any brand.
I have a electric hedge trimmer that works great.
I am also needing a carb adjuster tool for small Husky/Poulan saws/hedge trimmers.
 
anyone have a spare spinner laying about? I know Bailey's has them for sale right now but the wife says not to run the CC up anymore...

Don't care if it's 3/4 spent just want one for patching and resizing chain maybe 2 dozen times a year...

Got stuff to trade or cash if i can swindle it without the wife finding out...

I don't have one (to swap or use), but I am wondering if you can do saw chains entirely with common hand tools. I know you can use a grinder to open them up, maybe you can tap them together with a ball peen and set or use a c clamp or something?
 
Pioneer p-25 project. Appears complete minus bar nuts. Not locked up. Beyond that, I haven't messed with it.

Echo QV-6700

Picked this up, today, for $15. It's a QV(Quick Vent)-6700, used by fire departments. It was at a small engine shop, and the guy said that they had burned it up by running straight gas in it. BUT. I removed the muffler and the p/c look great! BUT, I can't try to start it because someone has removed the flywheel assembly. So, does anyone have a flywheel assy. for this thing. I have found out that the CS-8000 used the same flywheel, and the CS-5500 used the same cooling fan. (Flywheel and fan are separate)..The CS-6700 with SN (023378-031240) used the exact same setup...Anyone?:msp_confused: If I can get this bad boy going, it'll make quick work of scrapping a car.:D

yes I have read you can use a hammer if you need to but i'd prefer to spin chains properly so I don't have any problems in the field with them. "Right tool for the job" and all... My dolmar/grasshopper dealer lets me use his for free when I supply his shop with fire wood for winter but he's 30mins out of the way when I need to make a fix or change the length of a chain...

I figured with all the pros that are on here there might be some one with an old, used, 1/2 beat up one sitting in a box of parts some where. Or someone who has a "cheap one" sitting around since they got a newer cooler model... A guy can hope right?

Nathan, for what it's worth, I bought a harbor freight spinner breaker combo for about $40 on sale last year, I don't use the breaker because I heard they're the first to go out, but the spinner has worked fine for the few loops of chain that I've spun with it. I don't use it a whole lot, but it seems to work okay. I don't know about getting replacement parts, I haven't had to deal with that yet.
