[diesel&coffee]

HELP PLEASE

What have I done... I was restoring a 031AV ... looked at a lot of the old bolts and screws and said they need to go.. new socket head all the way around if possible..

076 / 660 ... hmmmm hate those torx bolts - don't know why I just hate them.. :rant: orderd $30 worth of stainless and hardened bolts for my 361 / 076 / 660... On a mission to find replacements for the handle self tipping screws.. only screws missing to go 100% socket and few pan head's all the way around on the outside of saws.. plus having a few extras of everything for the next victim!!

I think you should stop putzing with your saws and GO CUT SOME WOOD !!

I kinda like the torx now, and I need to go cut some wood, I'm going crazy!

You do not need self tapping screws!
Why the He$$ do you think they invented Lock-Tight!

That's just what they call them - go. Look at one - they are not machine screws - like wood screws - for plastic / etc

All the screws are available online if you look for them. Sorry I don't have any links, I lost most of my chainsaw related links when I upgraded my computer.

I know I bought Torx replacements off of ebay for a decent price $.55 ea or so.

Why do you not like torx?

Out of all the ones I've worked with they are the best. We even use them in the automatic screw guns and they rock.

On a saw caked with grease and sawdust I do blow them out with a long tip blow gun so the driver can seat and not strip out, but you have to do that with any screw so not a big deal to me.

If you have a good set of torx drivers it is the way to go..jmho:agree2:

well seeeeeeeeeeeee ! I went mad!

ok now I am beginning to say WTF... but I have a lottttttttt of bolts on the way.. I may convert one for the heck of it - as I said I have a lot of stainless alen / socket head bolts on the way! I think I will convert my new in the box076.. :biggrinbounce2: and the older AV saws..

The 051AV that I'm restoring is being switched to the new torx screws, with loctite. I was considering stainless with allen heads.

It had the flathead screws on it and I hate to admit that I stripped two of them taking the saw apart. They were almost frozen in there and the good thing is I could get the visegrips on them once they stripped.
