Thanksgiving Has Passed........What's On Your Bench?

[PA Dan]

My MS310 That I'm trying Bailey's 390 kit on is almost done. Working twelve hour shifts is making this project take forever! Can't wait to see how it runs!

I forgot earlier, but I've got an 029S on the bench that will be getting a hyway 390 topend this week. Will see how it runs stock and then do some mods.

This morning I had 3 45cc earthquakes on the bench to modify the mix screws. Pulled the carb's and got down with a little dremel magic, now I can adjust these fat pigs

Is the 029 a clam shell saw?

Sir Yes Sir

 

[Macman125]

So a 039 block Can be swapped into a 029 chassis? What is the dsplacement of a 039?

 

[Mastermind]

yes, 64cc

 

[homelitejim]

Finished this saw up this weekend, new fuel line, vent, and replaced the o rings in the manual oilier. 36" bar and .404 chain.

 

[Macman125]

Bear with me. Is the 029 chassis considerably smaller than the 039? Do they run pretty good? This sounds like an interesting swap. An 029 can be had fairly cheap.

 

[Macman125]

If you cant tell I do not know too much about stihl. Just enough to get me in trouble. I am more knowledgeable on the older mag saws

 

[Mastermind]

Same chassis on both.

 

[Macman125]

So not having either I might as well go out and buy a 039 And if that is the case I might as well just get a 036 or 038mag and say forget the 039. Correct?

 

[Macman125]

The only time it would be beneficial to use a 039 top end would be if you had a worn out 029.

 

[Mastermind]

Skip the 039 and go for the MS361.....

 

[Macman125]

361 might be a little out of my price range. I might spring for a 036 though. Or I might come across a cheap toasted 029 or 039 and put a new block in it. How does a healthy 039 stack up against a well tuned muff modded 260?

 

[Mastermind]

The 039 can be made stout.....

Me likes the big husky in the above pics. Randy is putting a 2100 top end and porting the 285 he has for me. Something tells me it might be capable of cutting a big tree.........99cc of masterminded power makes me have that feeling

I ground the sides off a 046 jug and bolted it to a 440 chassis yesterday ,opened up the cases some to make sure the piston no hit ,and it cut wood today ,real quick like ,better then the d shaped 10mm jug it had on before even

 

[Tnshaker]

Those 460/440 hybrids are really sweet
