Hey, thanks for the pic. I plan on reading the thread on URL insertion of pics.
I like the weights on your mill. (rockin' saw!)..... I've never seen one in action. The TS760 filter looks like a good idea. You probably get a year out of it since you are not cutting concrete!
Here is one of the 075/076's of two that I have finished. This one is a user, (not that there are to many trees big enough around here (in Okla) to warrant this length of a bar). It cut a 30" elm tree like butter yesterday. It tach'ed out at 9200rpm before the bleed valve in the carb kicked in to limit over-rev. I think one of the crank halves was an 075, as the manual oil pump body on it had a check ball and spring, but the other saw didn't. The one without the check ball didn't have a rounded seat for the check ball, so is it safe to assume the other pump was designed with a check ball within the pump itself. I couldn't see how to disassemble it, and it was working, so I didn't bother trying to rebuild it.
I've rebuilt a few TS760's before, and cutoff saws are primarily what I do. I have one customer that has about 50 TS400's left working, and has at least 40 of the TS420's that they are slowly converting to. They use them every day, so that keeps me pretty busy. I've woken up in the middle of the night dreaming I was fixing a saw! Since I only have to stock parts for about 4 or 5 different saws, I used a 4'x 8' sheet of pegboard for each model. I have every single part for 2 models, and a good stock of the others.
I am trying to locate an entire chainbrake assembly w/cover that is in good condition to put on this saw. If anyone has one, or has an idea who does, I would appreciate any info I can get.
