First off, thanks a bunch! You guys have helped me a TON! With a little tinkering, the ancient 041 Farm Boss I bought off EBAY has paid for itself many times over which, of course, quickly cleared up any and all looming domestic disputes. Tough saw, blows right through big old juniper without a hitch. Carb job is next, just to get it to idle a little more consistently, but it goes like hell as is. The filing jig is also worth it's weight in gold and presents a fairly pleasant way to let the arm burn abate.
So.. the next project! I have a lot of fencing to build along with a shed and a greenhouse... I have an old Mac 550 (100cc) coming which "runs like a champ" (allegedly) and I have in mind to do some small diameter milling with it. I think I have most of my ducks lined up on the milling end, but I don't know much about the saw other than its a pretty decent candidate for milling..... slow, torqey, large displacement, and at 65 bucks, no big deal if it doesn't work out (oh, did I mention heavy?.. I mean, like 27 pounds heavy!.. How in gods name did folks carry these old beasts around?!)
Looking for some some advice on what type of go-juice to put in the thing. Best oil? Best Ratio? Thanks guys!!
