Is that the saw you just rebuilt? Very clean-looks new!:msp_w00t:

Make it two . . .

Shout out from Oneida County!

New poster, but I've been lurking and learning for some time and the prospect of a GTG is very appealing. I'm close the the geographic center of the state. Just about anything is in range.

Late night in the workshop, huh? :wink2: I usually think I should be heading into the house by 11:00, but I've gone past midhight a couple times.

Well she certainly looks good man! Rep on the way. That late of a night and a few cold ones...hmmm.... I hope there were no left over parts when you were done!? LOL!

Takes too much effort to keep my shop heated in the winter months, so I move most of my shop tools etc.. into the basement. I have a nice little workshop down there too. I just make sure there isnt any fuel in the saws. Temps never drop below 55 with the furnace down there. In the summer months I'm usually inside by 10:00-11:00 myself.

Thanks Curry. No beverages on this one, probably why I didnt have any spare parts :msp_biggrin:

Unless I can find a 10mm crank for my beloved 044 "Christine"............she's gonna have to stay home this time.

I was gonna do a fuel line and filter change as well as a carb rebuild before the big show and well.......discovered a bad rod bearing in the process. I havent pulled her top off yet so I'm not 100% sure its the big end, but given the 10mm reputation.........I dont doubt it.

Sucks fellas.......really sucks. I about fell to my knees in tears last night.
I guess it was better to find out now before anything catostrophic happened right?

Well at least you caught it before you blew her up under load! Treat her right and nurse her back to health!

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I got another 10mm saw that will go along for the ride........just doesnt have the attitude of the other one :help:

 

[Fatarrow]

Well I'm sure I will get to meet Christine some other time! :chainsawguy:

On a completely different note, has a date been determined yet?

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Well..........here she is......poor girl.
Now if I can get my flywheel puller back from whoever borrowed it I'll be all set :msp_sneaky:

My wife just reminded me that we are are traveling between April 13 to April 21 (I'll be on Niko's side of the pond drinking copious amounts of bier), which unfortunately eliminates 2 potential weekends for me. So any weekend other than the middle 2 in April works for me.

Geez, now I'm feeling guilty. :frown:

I'll see if I can score a crank from a Stihl guy that I know.
