Just another junk chainsaw

I'll share here too.

OEM Stihl piston tools I use from stihl that make removing pins easier. Cheaper to buy really since like 5 apiece then time to make on lathe.

Yes I used to redneck use dowels, sockets etc etc etc too. But one day I said f it and bought a set to make life easier. Time is money.

OEM pin assembly drifts
1106 893 4700
1107 893 4700
1108 893 4700
1110 893 4700
1111 893 4700
1114 893 4700
1130 893 4700
1135 893 4700

Poulan etc pin puller I got from Chris at sawsalvage for $23. If you aint got the oem tool or redneck your own. This maybe makes it so easy.

Pulling parts from a parts saw for a guy. 3700 thin ring piston and cylinder.

Been using for many years now too. Stihl one for close to 10 years.

Once you got right tool you wont go back. Just a no brainer when tools so cheap for job. Stihl 5 bucks.

The tapered punch sometimes would get stuck and mf to get out. Plus bigger pins the redneck stuff didnt even fit would go right through. Why had to use dowels etc.

One got posted in my area today. Brand new never been gassed for $300. It's tempting... I already have a new 4910 though that I have modded so it's a little beast.

Only thing I cant stand is those freaking plastic handles on 4910 and 490. With the rubber antivibe these use can feel the vibes more.

I tested switching my other 501 handle on 490 and back forth same dang vibes felt with plastic handle. Not with metal and thick rubber coating.

If this one had been 4910 I wouldnt have bought it. Metal handles 50.

Talking with a guy right now that wants to trade for my 670 champ. So far he has showed me a decent 353.

Working out the trades.


Sweet saw and runs great. I only bought and fixed years back to see how they ran. Run very very good.

Just not needed here and dont collect saws. Want users I can still get parts for.

 

[xyz123]

Dang what a goodie bag that came with saw.

 

[xyz123]

To me there is no reason to buy those cnc muffler deflectors for echo 501 4910 490 500.
IMO even 590 620 too. 30mins or less with one I am done.

But that is me. Easy peasy.

Toss that inner piece with tiny pipe.

Bye bye 670 Champ. Some bubblewrap and then trash bag. Then

Collector wanted and we did some trading.

They run great for a 50mm with 34mm stroke. Was highly impressed with it.

Stuff works great.

Just had a box of mine found on highway where it fell out of the back of USPS semi with doors open.
In Alabama last week.

Cop found it contacted address and ask if theirs and whats in it. He says chainsaw.

Cop opens to confirm and takes to USPS P.O. in town for guy to go pick up.

Lady at counter ask him whats up with all the water bottles. Duh! SMH
In case idiots drop out of back of semis doing 70 down the highway.

Took some trades on my jred 670 champ I had redid a few years back.

Was suppose to be getting a running 353 and running parts saw OE 346.

Well well what a surprise when it arrived. Someone fooled last owner. 353 decal on a 359.

So got the heat gun out and got that 353 decal off there.

I have a ported 359 so not worried but was surprised when opened up box and unwrapped saw.

 

[JeepHead]

Well Kevin, it could be worse and was a 455 Rancher

Yep why I told guy dont worry about it. It's fine since I have a ported 359 already.
I was like never know when I might need to steal something from it.

Like today stole the 346 tensioner to put in the new 359.

Muffler modded it my free way and test cut with. Already gasket delete and 160psi showing.

 

[JasperFrank]

Wow, I never knew chains could last so long if you just never go in to the dirt. Today cut a cord with my little junk chainsaw. But never got in to the dirt. Still tossing big chips and no dust or burn.

The trade in 359. Did a free muffler mod and open inner baffle couple more besides the one they come with. Gill left side.

Already has gasket delete.

Took tensioner from 346 for now.

Test and cut like a muffler modded stocker.

Echo clutch tool works for these.

People need to stop using used oil. Nasty thick black residue all had to be cleaned out of whole side under metal plate.

I used it once, talk about a nasty mess. Not that my saws are pristine but I do try to keep them cleaned up.

I bought a brand new 359 around 2011 probably and really liked that saw. Wish I had never sold it. What are you going to ask for this one, without bar and chain?

It's not perfect looking inside. But fine for use and 160psi. 2009 model

So dont know might keep just to have on hand.

Before I started cleaning up the mess of old mix etc etc.


If I pull it down I will do a fresh crosshatch up after cleaning better then last guy.

Got a new NLA OEM 359 decal coming for recoil too.
