Did you find a 288 cylinder?

I build macks ask your friend his favorite model mack

I do know that he spent many years in an R at a quarry. Tough to kill & it took good care of his family. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean a favorite. He's had many different trucks.

Did you find a 288 cylinder?

I got this on the bench this evening 281 gonna be a 288 when we are done

How do you do the painting and what paint do you use?

 

[Agrarian]

My local dealer called me to say he had a 262 with good compression I could have for $75. Needless to say I immediately drove down. I should have taken pictures of this saw because it was covered with pine pitch which was over 1/8" thick on the muffler end and top handle. The rest of the saw was plastered with it - starter, flywheel, chain brake, top cover, etc. But after about 12 hours with denatured alcohol and a LOT of elbow grease, I exposed a great saw from 1992.

As an added bonus, the saw has a Kolben Schmidt cylinder & piston and a Walbro HDA87 carb that were both perfect. The only major thing I had to add was the bar and chain.

I just tape up the parts I don't wont to paint after I have cleaned it up I also wiped it down acetone them I use a self etching primer and Valspar paint. I take a big box cut the front out of it and use that for my paint booth.

Turned a bucket of 026 parts into this. Did a complete rebuild with a muffler mod, advanced the timing, and removed the base gasket and replaced it with .008 flashing. Got a few test cuts and tuned. Runs great.
