Thinking of selling my trekkasaw with diesel hydraulic pack just testing the water? Will handle 6m x 1.2 m logs

I’m going to sell my trekka mobile I need to sort it out a bit but it’s a fine mill

I’m in need of a replacement engine or one for bits as my beloved stump grinder threw a rod I’m gutted kohler magnum 20 or similar maybe a command ? But doint know if one will work as there is a pulley tuning the hydraulic pump off the flywheel?? any help pleas

Have you ever had it running ? If it's sparking then that's good flooding may be an issue and them 254 are prone to it as it's easy to mis the engine fire on choke and keep pulling then they flood , do as spud says and make shore you keep the ignition switched off when pulling over for two reasons one is the fire risk and two is the cdi ignition on the 2 series huskies will blow if they are not earthed and pulled over. Also if you have not had it running and it is not flooded do try just a litle fuel mixed and not in the plug just pop the air filter off tip a drop in the inlet no choke then give her a pull just to see if it fires if still no joy you may have a sheared key on your flywheel it's a intergrated alloy one that is cast into the flywheel iv had this happen a few times on 254 and 262 saws especially if they have been played around with like sometimes happens ?

Fantastic aspen4 then cheers

Ok thanks il give it a go in my pride and joy vintage saws iv also got a 1978 husqvarna cr 500 twin shock scrambler but I recon il not risk running her on Aspen just yet? il stick to the silkelean and supper unleaded

Yes I understand the oil is much better now I did think that maybe better materials used in modern saws may have had a factor together with better ignition modules and so on ? If Aspen is fine to use then that is supper

Sorry to be a Paine and sorry for probably giving the wrong advice re fuel mix it was just that them old saws where always run on 40/1 when new as stihl recommended ? I use aspen in my new saws recommended to run on 50/1 is aspen ok to use on any saw of any age iv a danarm and a telles smith from around 1950 is it ok to use aspen on them as they recommended 16/1 PS ASPEN IS A FINE FUEL especially when training as there are lots of saws running and I have to stay with the candidates breathing in the fumes of standard fuel makes me Feel quite ill at the end of a days but no problem with ASAPEN THANKS

Very good point about the sparks I remember felling big gums in the bush down under arresters ha to be on and again no mods never bothered me I spent my hard earned cash on VB (beer) Sheila's and surfing not fanning around with me tools LOL

I'd not run aspen in it as it's mixed 50/1 two percent The old girl will run ok on 40/1 with good synthetic oil and fresh fuel I may also have a chain brake but can not prommis Ghill

No I'm looking at both sides and not paranoid I'm a trainer and assessor as well as contractor all I'm saying is one day it may happen and I know that if a injury is apportioned to the use of a modded saw then I'd be almost certain that any cover will be invalid much the same as any machinery that has been adapted and therefor probably not complying with PUWER regs And I'm also happy that we all have our own take on modded saws if they increase production and are safer then all well and good. Perhaps I or't to run some myself and make my millions unfortunately I'm flat out and to tight to spend me cash on modding saws perhaps when I eventually hang me hat up il have a play LOL

What are you looking for a 360 union I have them fitted on some hoses on my loglift timber crane

Iv not watched the video but yes iv been cutting since the late 70s starting with a 075 my first saw on large hardwoods then went on to 480cd then Dolmars then 266 281 2101 then 254 262 272 then 357 372 395/5 3120 Now running 550 s and have jumped to 441s and makita 9100 Along side some of the old stuff To supply our stenner bandmill and two Jappa prosesors and felling contracts across the Cotswolds Never lost any sleep over not using ported saws for production

hear hear this is all iv been trying to explain Spud is clearly a sensible chap in his approach
