"Been There, Milled That"
Thank you Corey T. Morine for your generous contribution to the "Pay it Forward" thread, and for the fun I've already had.
First off, I wasn't expecting much. When I opened the box and saw that the saw actually looks really nice, I got really excited. Took a trip down to the local car wash and knocked the big chunks off of it, and it looked even better. Nothing unexpected so far, and I've got it down to the basics. Just need to pull the flywheel and clutch to access the seals, then I'm ready to go.
In an unanticipated bit of humor, Corey, using the best box available, shipped it to me in a Stihl box. Was worth a chuckle anyway. So, I used the box as the photo stand.
This is one nice saw. All the bodywork is intact and in good shape, only missing one screw and one dawg.
Here are the teardown shots:
It turns over smooth as glass, so the bottom end is in good shape, the piston shows no signs of wear, but there isn't much compression. No biggie since I've got a 372 P&C coming from Chopwood. All in all, this thing is in really great shape.
Now I need to assemble my "need list" and get an order together. Leaving for Cub Camp for the next three days.
Again, thanks Corey, this is WAY better than I was expecting to see. You really downplayed that saw.
