Better get some screenshots, tears are washing things away, again.

Peace and chicken grease.

Not because of me.......I'm minding my own business.

I'm thinking something like this might work on the 661 intake floor, this ones epoxy, if I was going to use something like this I'd cast it from aluminium and heat treat it.

 

[scallywag]

The intake boot and clamp and maybe some Loctite should hold it in place nicely

All others pay cash.

Maybe two tangs/locators would be better And for good measure a centre punch in each tang!.. Or go even further and heat shrink the insert in then centre punch it!

Hi Randy
Ok here's another thought........
Before applying the epoxy,drill a couple of holes into the intake floor and insert a couple of pins,then apply the epoxy and it will form and glue to the pins.You could cut some reliefs into the pins for additional holding.
That should eliminate any chance of the epoxy cracking due to drilling.

I've spend the weekend doing more R&D on the MDS661.

I think I've got them nailed down right where I want them now.

Not everybody has the bucks to buy the latest fad in feller bunchers.

Only the really big BIG stuff is done manually around here, and by a select few that have the proper license. The only exceptions are local firewood cutters, and not a lot of that either as much off the road it's not worth it.

Does Montana require a license to cut timber now?

Not really Danny......I never want to build saw engines that aren't able to work for a living. A chainsaw is a tool, and should able to be used all day, everyday, no matter the temperature, or enviroment.

Next level refers to the amount of time I put in to learning about each model to be sure I'm getting good solid, repeatable gains.

I like to think we take porting chainsaws to The Next Level.

Thats awsome Randy!!! Something new?

No.......I mark em all......if I remember to.
