Just another junk chainsaw

Do you think this vise "upgrade" is worth it (~$100)?

Tecomec Complete Vise Assembly Jolly Star K00200169 replaces Oregon 511AX 526265 | eBay

Note: This vise assembly will replace the one on the Oregon model 520-120 if you add a washer under the knob. I then made a. 200 thousand thick washer/spacer to go under the knob and it works perfect.".

Sent you a PM...

Even if I grind only a couple loops, which is rare for me, I ALWAYS clean the loops prior to grinding. Same applies to anything I run on the surface grinder in the shop. Oil is oil and grease is grease and the wheels on the surface grinder are all vitreous wheels, just like the ones you have on your chain grinder. I do run flood coolant on the surface grinder but it's 100% compatible with the surface grinding wheels and it 'floats' away the grindings and keeps the wheels from getting fouled.

Just a typical neglected saw till she quits on ya.

Smelly old mix, plug was loose, muffler loose, 2 cylinder bolts loose.

Scored and finally stuck exhaust side ring.

Imho cylinder will clean up easily.

Just going to order piston kit and different muffler with out the cat. Tired of digging that crap out of them.

Mesh filter was doing its job. No fines in throat.

Parts already ordered.

So nope will sell after done and have a line already from my CR group and a local that bought my last OE one.

Matter fact he eyed on bench when I was testing his OE 45cc limbing saw he bought from me yesterday.

I've sold so many of these things. NE OE 346. XPG even in OE NE. 351 353 etc etc.

I know they got a cult like following and bring good money too.

Heck I used to buy these new back in the day cheaper then they bring used now days.

I think I paid around $400 for mine back in 2004. It was probably the best saw I've ever owned, I wish I hadn't listened when they told me it wasn't worth replacing the crank in 2008.

Here is 2 NE 50cc ones I bought later. 2009 and 2010

One of them he gave me credit for b+c. I dont need the crap stuff they came with.

The 1999 OE 346 I just sold came in for a check up and tune.

First year the 45cc was offered.

Located a very nice 353 this weekend for $125. I will put a 346 P&C in it now...

Out of the 50cc cylinders this one is NLA from husky unless you find old stock. It just happened too.

Just looked still 4 353 around me FS 200 for 3 of them asking.

Can only get the one with decomp now.

Just plug it off like this one was.

My xpG a friend talked me out of was a no decomp one.

Last one decomp style.
