Rained today, so I went to look at a Rancher 55 from a local CL ad, but this followed me home.....

Piston looks good, cylinder looks good, plastic top faded, has good spark and the chain stop seemed to be bound up. It should be a good winter project to get it up to firewood cutting shape in the spring.

I still haven't got the taste of the seat out of my mount on that zero radius mini I ran the last 2 days.

A heavy Yackhamma throws off the balance on a sidelean place, to put it mildly.

Welded up the tensioner arm on the rear of the Kubota today. If you can see that???

The new looking bolts in pic above, are new! Bolts were MIA when I got it from PO since they took the roll bar off to fit in garage. So the roll bar is back on and now it won't fit in my garage either! It fits in the shop, but I plan to chop the roll bar and make it a foldable rops anyhow. Will also add tabs for LED flood lights too. Dang old incandescent head lights are behind bucket and dim at best... [emoji19]

You didn't wipe out the banana orchard did you? I'm guessin' it's fun to knock stuff over no matter how rough the ride.

What kind of blasting media do you use?

 

[PASS_AUF]

After sharpening a few chains today I finally got to take a look at a new to me Stihl FS550. She certainly needs some cleaning.

I used fine Glass.

Got a few more pieces powdered today. Cases will have to wait until I get some more tape.

Thanks, Brian

That looks great... Another question: What kind of powder coating rig are your using?

 

[Sty57]

I got a kit from Eastwood Co. years ago.
I just use a old oven for baking the parts. It's slow because I can only do one piece at a time.
But it's fine for me as I'm just doing it for myself.
