Back In The Shop......Now What's On Your Bench????

[raumati01]

What was on my bench was a stihl 025, I dont really want to work on anther one of these. It was one of a bunch of saws I got from a guy who shifted his workshop from town to his garage . I also got
A stihl 051
2 041s
064 parts saw
066 parts saw
one and a half 056 magnums
026
034
Husky 61
2 266s
55 missing it muffler

Well the 025 is finished, I'm thinking the 55 next on the bench then the 026.

I started building up one of my torn down and cleaned up 262's only to find that the wrist bearing I ordered is too large in diameter by about 0.020. The listing on ebay said it was OEM for the 257 which has the same bearing as the 262. Now I have to do the whole ebay return dance. Equally my fault, I should have cross-checked the Husky number they listed but they claimed to be a Husky authorized business so I let my guard down.

While that plays out, I have two other 262's that need to be cleaned up so that will fill my time.

I started porting the two on the far left as you can see. I really should get credit for the streamlined cooling fin design they employ

This bench is in my basement the one in my shop is clutterd.

The only bargain I got at the sale today was a Husqvarna 51, looks to be in excellent shape once I got the dirt cleaned off it, seems to run good also. Kinda cheap, not a give away though. I think the chain had been sharpened by someone who didn't know how though..
On the way home however I picked up an 041 Stihl and a 290 Stihl, the 290 was a customer saw though..gotta fix it when it's cool enough to go outside..it's 92 right now in the shade..

Still fartin around with an 056. Swapping an sem coil over to it after replacing leaking crank seals.

It's been a while since I've had the time to **** around with a saw. Work has been keeping me very busy....my next project....

But I recently got my hands on a Shindaiwa 680. I spent the morning tearing it down and cleaning it up, and the afternoon swapping the piston, a mildly ported cylinder, new rings, kitting the carb, changing ring gears, modding the muffler, tuning it, etc. This saw is a really fun chunk of yesteryear. I was listening to and old Rev Horton Heat CD, so it completed the genre thingy.

Big fun!

The last three saws I've had were Stihl 290 saws and all three had leaky crank seals, very odd. Of course they also had bad pulse hoses..The owners of these saws had the carburetor adjust screws almost all the way out. I guess when they still wouldn't idle they figured it was time to take them to the shop..

Tig I assume?

 

[Homelite410]

That's all silver solder. Unfortunately I do not own a tig welder.

And very nice work for solder at that!

 

[rattler362]

Some very fine work very slick.

I finally got the time today to assemble another fine old saw. It got a new piston and rings, muffler mod, and a light port cleanup. Full wrap bars, a NOS Sachs Dolmar bar (.404), new 7 pin rim, etc. This saw had a billet intake mod that had a really dead K&N on it when I bought it. When I cleaned and kitted the carby, I decided to put a foam Unifilter on it. I'm still missing a chain brake, but here she is, ready to cut some timber.

She's a fine old brute of a saw.
