Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Beepin, Beepin, Beepin things. As you can see, Leakin Beepin thing.
Any way, chain sharping is the main thing on the Poulan and RedMax. And start them.
The Husqvarna muscle saw won’t idle. And I’ve beeped with that before so I don’t really think I’ll get any where with it. But I’ll look at it. Maybe.

Monday ramble. Have a good week gentlemen.

Nice use of old roller tray... Shoulda thought of that one before. All mine are sitting on 5 gal pail lids. Same end result, catch the ooze...
When I remember, I try to crack both the fuel, and oil caps after the saw cools to relieve any internal pressure that may drive the ooze out. Seems to help on some saws, not so much on others.

Great idea, If ya remember. I know my other husqvarna saw will leave a 6” round puddle of oil under it. Shouldn’t be any pressure in it.

Noel, I really don't like how much trouble that old Husky's giving you, so I want to help you get rid of all that trouble, send it to me! wanna deck for it? or two?

Very tempting Eugen.

When your coming to PEI in July, this year, you could take those 2 decks with you and drop them off when you visit me. Then you could take the saw back to Ontario with you when you leave , right !!!!!!

Hmm, well ?


Noel

yeah Noel, sure thing!!

Except I doubt I'll be going anywhere in July with the price of gas we got!

So got working a little on theses Beepin things. Got one saw sharpened. This one runs, so no need to do any thing there, yet. Mixed up some gas and oil. Was gunna fill the gas and bar oil, but no sense in that cause the bar oil will all leak out. So I’ll wait to do that until the very second I use it. Now I have to find the bar oil jug.
A little trick for measuring your cuts. I just put this on, so have not tryed it. A fella on you tube does this. So the twist ties are measured to what ever length of log you want. I like around 16/17”, so a piece of yellow tape to measure that. The other yellow inside tape is at about 12” inches. So I have to cut four cord at 12” or so and the rest at 16/17”. Twist ties are flexible enough that they may not get in the way. Once I git to cutting wood, I’ll see how it works.

Quick Thursday ramble.

yeah, I never find the wretched jug either! So I just bought another one when I was in the Stihl stealership just so I could not say my trip was useless. But I have a lot of expectations from this bar oil, it came in a nice orange jug and it says Stihl on it. Plus it was made in I used some in my Homelite which was made in and as a testament of how our two great countries get together so well, the saw worked real nice with that oil!!!

This tells me you're an explorer Noel! Let us know if it works well!

Another Beepin one sorta ready

On my Stihl saw there is a line on the side of the saw, when measured to the tip of the bar is 18".

For the life of me, I will never know why we never painted a line at 12" from the tip of all the saws.

The zip tie idea is interesting. I expect it would irritate me, but perhaps I'll give it a try and be pleasantly surprised...

Perhaps because it would wear off fast enough? I had a hard time even reading the bar specs on mine, and they're stamped in!

Yea, I imagine there would be no chance of getting one of my bars clean enough to have paint stick... I can still real the homelite logo on some of my old bars, so there might be hope on a new bar...

So, since May 2, when the first picture was takin. This is how much oil it’s leaked since then. Beepin thing. And I have not used it !

Noel

Yep, me too, put too much oil in the chainsaw and found it empty in a few days, big puddle on the floor

My McCullogh saw leaks oil and I know it's a hole in the oil feed line. I watched a you tube video on how to fix it, just haven't made the time to take it apart to replace the oil line.

Zip ties? I don't need no stinking zip ties!

I have a calibrated eyeball!
