Hi Joe. Nice Super 68. Nice deal on a chain. Those 31" bars are not real common.

Get you a new cover, no need in trying to patch up those. I've never broken one and nor has dad. If everything is lined up before tightening and you don't go two fisting on tightening the cover, they should last a long time.

I j b welded one on a 3700 and it held till last week when I didn't have the bar hole lined up and it didn't take much pressure on the bolts before it broke again. Not worth the effort to fix when you can get a flebay buy it now. Now if you are careful with them they do hold together.
Twenty years ago we could have had 3000 FPS fix it, even he thinks it's not worth his time and I agree . My opinion only

Look what I found. Will be putting this on my shopping list.

Nifty!
I think I will be needing one also. My hands just won't work like they used to for doing it by hand. Those damn weedeaters and such is where that thing will really shine.

Come on Mark. Thought u were ole school. Just kidding. Bought one myself but haven't had to use it yet.
Snatch a starter cover off and pull out a spring for the heck of it and see how that tool works.

Yea, I do have an extra 3400 recoil sans spring and a couple new springs. Maybe I’ll give it a try.
Well it was not quite 20 years ago and I still have my Tig welder and I still have my Mag rod. I just have not done any in awhile and I did get picky about who I was going to weld for. I never charged for any of the repairs I did. I loved seeing people take some of the old saws and make them look like new again.
Thanks for the story it is much appreciated by me. Nice to know what the other side of things are. Thanks for helping to save these good old saws.
Did a green handle bracket for me. Thanks much
Saving that TA saw that someone had cut case up to put a bow on it was unreal too. Looked like new once you welded it and finished it.
Roger that!
What’s getting even harder is replacing the rubber tube covering on the Poulan saw top handles.
With the air compressor & a tubing adapter blowing 10-15# & soapy water for lube, it now takes me 2-3 “sessions” to get around to the
second 90 degree bend, when I used to do it in one go round a few years ago!
Last one I did I used straight dawn soap and took me 5 minutes and no air just coated inside and slid it on, once in place I slid a small long Phillips screwdriver down a few times and flushed with water then did the other end, let it dry. Worked good
Took a lot of filing to get the chain back into shape but we are ready to do some test cuts tomorrow.
That's gonna be fun to run, don't have too much fun with it.

How was the saw, did you have to do much to it to get it running. Sure looks good.
I got 1 NOS kit I found in a bin.
I have sold all the 60cc stuff as I got out of those and moved to the smaller 3.3 335's for my small saws. Just in case wanting to set one back.
Pulled a NLA intake boot for a guy in the CR group too. You should recognize the series for this boot Roger.
I even sent a NOS one to a IN dealer for a customers saw. Guess I need to check my stock to see I have at least one extra for each saw I am still running in that series.
Plus a PP415 with updated tank set up going for a ride.
Also a updated tank set up ready to go with a handle for a guy to get a saw that has been setting 10 years after a tree smashed them. Saw runs just couldnt find parts.
