Havin it to the point of installing a new ring......it ain't much more work to tear it the rest of the way down!
Depends on how you feel bout the bearings in the saw now?
Seems like a big job but it's really not!
Good to practice!
Geez , from the looks of Robin's pic's I think he has a thing for the colour red .
I wonder if he calls that part of the shop "The Red Light District" ?

Yea you is ! Beating up one of my favorite saws up like that ! :msp_sneaky:
MEEEEEEEENNNN Nadian !
Betchya his customers see red when he hands over the bill .......
Been working on a Husky 141 that's been laying here for a long time. LOL No spark , ok put another coil on it.Very weak spark ? Funny thing it had bright blue spark on the saw I just took it off of ? Pulled the kill wire off,same thing. Changed the flywheel , stihl the same ? Only thing I can think of is the ground wire ? Done for the day !
And Jerry was wrong about excavator golf how ?
Not wrong! Just the wrong saw in John`s opinion,..they is hiss fav lil saw just like 026`s are mine.

Hey Jerry,
whatcha using for the short game? Mid-range iron?
I use a Cat (can't for the life of me remember the model - mid-70's 50t) for the drive
A Volvo ECB-88 for the mid game
and a N.H. LB-75 for the greens...
If I do find myself in the sand, I'll use the Bobcat 260 with the trencher attachment, makes a heck of a mess, but I usually get out in under an gallon of fuel..
We have 3 to choose from but the lightest is actually the fastest swing and usually will launch a saw the longest distance which usually gets the saw close to the hole in one swing, if all things go right a hole in one is possible. Bobcat 435, Volvo EC330C and Volvo EC480, both Volvos have had their swing motors and seals pulled and replaced under warranty.

I like the "big and slow" kinda drive. Once that cat gets warmed up in the first 9, ya better watch out!:msp_biggrin:
The 88 is a '06 or '07, don't remember off hand, but has less than 500 hours on it. It still has a snap to 'er.
The 75 has been used/abuse, ran hard, and put away wet. 1/8" slop in the pins ain't nothin' but a thing... She's now my stump puller - dig under the stump, grab ahold until the loader bucket is about 2' off the ground, and shake the s(*&^ out of it... They come right out :msp_biggrin:
I really liked the swing of the old Hitachi ZX230 ,very smooth and fast but it got traded in the Volvo deal.
I got's no excavator but I can borrow the disability machine anytime .
Sure sinks them in real good LOL

Don't these Volvo seem to be slower on reactions? Seems to me that there's a delay/drag doing multiple functions.
BTW, what do ya use for a "Tee"? I've been using Honey Locust and Oak since Sandy. Bar pointed to the flag, but adjusted for windage. Usually 12-16" diameter about 2' high - don't want to take too much of a divot out!

That thing can sure flatten out them orange things prior to covering them in concrete, improves the reinforcing value for the concrete also.
