Just another junk chainsaw

[JeepHead]

Sometimes I just shake my head at my DA self.

Going over my parts I got coming and the OE 346 I got here for project tester. For aftermarket cylinders in this series some day.

I just realized I forgot to put a top handle on my list of things to get.

I found OEM tank, recoil, clutch cover, cylinder cover already and heading my way.

Handle 503909301 537301701

So making sure running the numbers, seems 345 346 350 351 353 all used the same handle. So that will make this easy for sure.

Last night I was putting back together an 026 I was rebuilding, only to discover SOMEHOW I managed to lose the clutch cover and the filter cover. The saw, and the parts for it NEVER moved from that bench in the two weeks since I started the project. Only thing I can figure is the dogs knocked them off and they fell into the trashcan and got hauled off. Oh I was so mad!

OEM 346 handle in route.

Gave the 42mm topend to a guy with lathe so he can save it. Cut base and squish. For helping me out finding parts for project packrat.

At least you can blame the dogs...

I have two young labs. If you know anything about Labs, they are responsible for most accidental things.

I know all about labs. My first is why I am missing my good axe, as well as my favorite hammer.
Also a $1600 electronic data collector years ago... With 3 days of work on it which I had to redo.

We had 3 labs in the 3 main colors. Ya they can be trouble.

But boy this one blonde yellow was something else. Buckwheat.

He would pin a wounded yote till I could catch up with him.
Many other stories too.

None of the others was like him.

I have never been a light bar user. If I had one come In trade on saws I sold them off.

But these versacut Intrigued me. Priced right and light too as I seen posted by others.

But I thought couldn’t be much difference in a small mount 16” 050 325 66dl right.

Well here is 2 of my regular bars with replaceable tips in same small mount to compare.

Then the 20” K095 3/8 050 72dl versacut compared to my GB 3/8 050 70dl K095.

For you guys with the echo 4910 490 with plastic handle and plastic rear grip. If you notice the vibrations to your hands.

Here is the echo 501 metal with rubber coating parts. The av will still be the same rubber and vibrate more then coil spring.
But I dont notice it on the top handle using the metal rubber coated handle on the 490 4910.
