What's on your bench today?

[spudulike]

You been cutting up watlers beech he picked up for nothing?

 

Thats next on the list, it will be a good work out and judging by the way it pulls, should be good.

 

This was some Walnut Marting dropped off. I know someone that works with wood so was milling it by eye for him - 2' length, no contest, far better than before and sounds glorious when idling, nothing quite like it:thumbup:

Sort of thing I do !! I have started to take photos and write parts down and mount on strips of cardboard and it makes reassembly a breeze.

 

Yes but it worries me when you take a saw apart Matty, the hammer is rarely used by most saw technicians:001_rolleyes::lol

 

Seriously, the cardboard method is something I used to use on motorike cylinders and crankcases. It is damn important to get the right length screws in to some holes as an over long bolt can puncture through in to oil tanks or crankcases on some machines!

Matty uses a hammer too?! At least I'm not the only one!

My 460 had a little accident last summer

 

Real shame as it was one of the last to be sold in the UK (had to ring round a few suppliers to see who had one - Skylands last i believe) and id only put 50 something hours on it, just started to loosen up nicely:thumbdown:

 

Broken parts included: Both crankcase halves, Rear handle/tank assembly, sprocket cover, fan housing cover, switch housing and air filter base, plus the associated gaskets, bearings and oil seals needed.

I'd won a bag in the christmas raffle from Gustharts, so got the parts from them, first dealings with them and fantastic service

 

few photos of the broken components, and new bits built up with old innards ready to go. Hit a stumbling block getting the flywheel off, even the local saw shop couldn't help. So martin (burrell_) is coming up trumps and sending me his flywheel puller (aswell as giving advise ) Cheers mate

Pulling the flywheel is the easy bit, just lock the piston with a stop, spin off the flywheel nut off anti clockwise.

 

Screw in the puller in to the flywheel with the bolt screwed out a bit and when fully in, screw in the bolt and do it up until the flywheel pops off.

Splitting the crank is the one hey Steve!

Yeah easy with a puller but not so without, tried levering it off but didn't want to break it (plastic) so Martins sending me his puller

 

That is a doozy. How'd it happen?

 

Rigging an elm, had a rigging rope which was far too short (block just over half way up the tree) so kinda snatching branches and timber onto the line, didn't need full control, just enough to pull the timber and branches in to avoid lamp posts and a new foot path. groundy letting it run to the floor. had the 46 sitting in the main forks for the big wood, using the 200 on the long branches, one 8ft long 15" dia lump of wood, the ground didn't let run, went into the saw like a battering ram.

He said he knew the saw was there, didn't know why he didn't let it run, just forgot, very apologetic, no ones fault imo just one of those things.

Thats easy Matt, I finished my splitter the day after you smashed up your 372 crank

 

Even better, it works really well:thumbup:

Yeah I remember that ..... My way would of worked if I had not missed a bolt.... Very important that josh !!
