Idiot gets lucky. Found clutch spider!

[Nardoo]

I lost the clutch spider of my Poulan 3400 Countervibe last week by blasting it off down the paddock at a thousand mph. I spent a couple of fruitless hours searching before giving up. I posted my misery here and was fortified by tales of other members' stupidity and was even offered a new spider (thanks Modifiedmark).

Today I was in an adjoining paddoch spraying weeds and what do you think I found? Yes! The blasted spider lying innocently in the grass about 75metres from where I had been looking.

Looks like all the clean living has paid off.:smile2:

Well done on finding it, great to hear a happy ending.

Your post reminds me I need to look for the rest of one I spun off now that the snow is gone.:msp_unsure:

Al, all I got to say is I wish I had some weeds to spray right now!

I had enough of this winter!

Glad you found the wayward part.

I was working on a Stihl 660 last week and did the same thing. Had a senior moment I guess. I fire that hussy up and the clutch came off and bounced and dinged all over my shop. I was taking cover it was like standing in a shoting Gallery.

The drum took a left turn and went out the door like you said at a zillion mph and went 40 yards out through the yard. I found it all and put it back together and THIS TIME I tightened it up. It happens to the best of us sometimes. You just joined the club.

Last fall we were clearing a landing of left over fire ravaged bark beetle infested logs.

One of my cutting partners (that's him in the pic) lost one of the bar nuts off his 038, it apparently fell down between the logs as he was buzzing away at a log near the top of the pile. No problem, goes to the truck grabs another bar nut and continues cutting.
A week later were back whacking up some more and there is another guy there buzzing away with his Husky. As we are loading the trucks he walks over and hands me a bar nut and says Maybe you guys can use this I see you all run Stihls. It was Mark's Bar nut.
Granted it was only a bar nut, but how lucky is that.

I lost part of my Chain tensioner (on my dirtbike) out in my horse pasture (an 8 acre field) I made another part at work since I couldn't find it, a week later my 1 year old donkey was standing at the gate with a shiney piece of aluminum in his mouth, holding it between his teeth so I could see it. He found it and brought it to me :msp_biggrin:
