Few updates....
I ordered a Tsumara 20" lightweight bar last night, and new Oregon chain, but they wont be in until January, so today I went out to my closest Husky dealer and picked up a Husky bar and chain which I will need for the second saw anyway. Also picked up a missing oil cap and flywheel nut.
I cant say I'm impressed with the parts guy though. I was looking at the T435 saw to see how it compared to my little Echo, and he said "that's a pro saw, it's way better than Echo" "not trying to offend you". Well I didnt ask for his opinion of my saw, and I haven't heard alot of great things about the 435, I just wanted to look at it.
Then when I asked him for a bar and chain he said "we have .050 and .058" and I said, it doesnt matter to me, whichever you have in stock. And he said "it does matter, your little wheel should say" to which I said, it doesnt just 3/8-7. And then he said "well it should say on the bar". I am trying to buy a bar moron! I dont have a bar to read off of.
Then when I asked for a worm gear for the oil pump he pulled up a parts diagram of the pull starter and asked me which part I needed.
Anyway, I am a few steps closer to firing these saws up. Still waiting on the flywheel side seal. Apparently everywhere is backordered.
And the parts needed to fire up saw 1 should be here tomorrow.
Here is saw 2 with her new bar and chain.
I also ordered a full wrap handle that I will put on saw 1. Apparently the handle also got smashed when these saws were torn down. I was able to straighten the bent one, but it cracked in one spot and HL Supply had the full wrap kit with felling dogs on sale last night for $22.
