Hmm....a Homelite 750, an echo CS-330T, and maybe a stihl 026. I want the 750 whole and ready to cut wood again asap.
 
Nine jugs on the bench. It will be eleven tomorrow. A big pile of old greasy #### parts.

That kind of reminds me of the "alleged" 084 this one guy in VA sent to this other guy in TN. The guy in TN was so pissed, he made his Son In Law put it together.
 
Well let's see......

Just finished a Husqvarna 261/262 and a Dolmar 7910...

There's a Stihl MS260 jug with the squish cut being ported on my bench......

and a MS461 being torn down on Jon's bench.

Life is good in TN. :msp_biggrin:
 
on my work bench i have :
stihl 025 i just finished porting just waiting on crank sea;s
stihl ms361 awaiting teardown for a complete rebuild
stihl 038 magnum that a friend straight gassed
and 3 371s in various stages of being assembled my neighbor gave me cause he is moving
 
4000 poulan

Here is the one Im keeping, one I sent to eccentric, one is off to modifiedMark. So Ill have this 4000 and 2 Poulan Pro 395s. This saw came in as a runner. When I picked it up I got some history on the saw which is always good. I bought it from the original owner who bought it new in '84. He was looking at 60cc class Jreds, but his dealer who sold jreds and Poulans talked him into a 4000. He said the dealer demonstrated one of the saws by cutting tip first straight into a dead oak tree.
It does run but I will still take it down, clean and inspect everything, put new fuel lines and kit the carb, I have plenty of fuel line and carb kits and they are cheap insurance IMO. Also saw has 160psi p/c are perfect and the ex. port is carbon free.

Is this the 046 aftermarket vs. OEM thread?

Naw, this is one I started in February.......

I think you are referring to a thread Brad started with a picture of Brian's hybrid in the first post.........that thread went away. :dizzy:

And here's the 4000 Joe sent me. It spent just long enough on my bench for it to get this NOS PP D007 mount bar swapped on.

Aaron,

I was a little surprised to see outdoor pictures of this saw. Don't you usually use a Chest Freezer, and cardboard for your saw "Glamour Shots"?

He has his yoga pants on today. He's feeling "fancy". :)
 
To stir the pot a little have 3 small huskies, a 36, a 42, and a 235 on the bench, the stihls are under it cause they still work... Now I remember why I buy stihls, so I can fix everyone elses husky! Flame on!
