Just another junk chainsaw

[JeepHead]

So basically what I have always known. Ported saws punch above their cc weight size.

When I got that 359 I was told it cut with OE 372 71cc. G466 cuts just like a oem 460 with a DP.
Not the turd 460 with pencil easer side outlet only. SMH

59cc - 76.5cc

upper 12lb range and upper 14lb range G466 is with small inner spike for weight shown. It is little heavier now by double bigger spikes.

Now I have ran the 359 ported with 24" buried ripping and it smiled and said more please.

Thats has far as I would go on it. Stock G466 I have ran 32" buried and it smiles too ripping.

I bought a brand new 359 sometime in the mid 2000's and it was a great saw. Wish I had it back! Are you selling this one or keeping it?

I have 2 359. But guessing your asking about ported one.

How I marked the ported one Xtra Power.

Not sure I have the available cash right now since I just bought a commuter car to save mileage on my truck, but maybe. Are you interested in selling either?

I'd sell any chainsaw for right prices.

But neither of these would be cheap and the ported one double the cost. Good porters are not cheap.

These are my go to anymore if not using the lighter 50cc saws.

I missed a good buy on a Husky 350 this weekend, dang thing looked new and was $100.

I dont even buy the 350 etc for that anymore.

I had a hard time selling my last 2 for 200 after going through. So sold them both to one local for 175 a piece.

Plastic cased saws dont sell good here at all.

If you ever compare the plastic cased saws weigh a hair more then their better mag cased brothers.

I would like to have one just to install a 346 top end on it.

IMHO find a 351 353 mag cased even though

I know folks like doing the 350 into 346.

Least the mag cased is money well spent and will get your money back if ever needed to.

or just get a builder like my last OE 346 and put a NE top on it. Parts getting harder to find but found most of the bigs in my group.

Tank, all covers, handle, brake handle etc.

This was my grandfathers. He bought it new at Ekert Brothers in Sugarcreek many years ago. Dad has it now and tries to use it on occasion. He has had it to a shop several times but they can't seem to get it right. I mostly think they just don't want to screw with it so they don't put much into it. It will run until it get warm. Cool little saw when it works.

I took a one owner in trade from a guy I worked with years back.

Some people like those little guys. I didnt after using the one I got here.
Liked my poulan 2000 I had way more that I had bought new in 94.

So I traded it off for some chain.

They were hard to get parts for even way back then. GL.

Thank you. I have a feeling its going to end up being a wall hanger for me. More nostalgia because it was the first saw I learned on.
This one I am going to try and get running right. It was my other grandfathers. it will fire and run but won't stay running unless you're on the throttle. Carb work I am sure. Going to do some YouTube time and maybe teach myself along the way.

 

[xyz123]

Prob just a carb rebuild time with kit. Once cleaned carb 30 mins to install. Go with oem stihl line if want it back right. Aftermarket will not run right in bends.

I started using echo oem line myself so I dont have to order stihl oem lines when needed for guys. If they ok it going that way.

Then check impulse and plug while in there.

Take peek at piston etc too just in case.

They take to a simple muffler mod big time. 18-23% gains and carb retune that are stuffed up bad.

 

[walhondingMF]

Thank you. Its going on the bench for a rainy day project.

Well glad I went the way I went on having my tree guy do the stump with the 80K grinder he had with 67HP. VERMEER SC70TX


One I could have rented would have cost me more for the day. 40hp big as they have of the 3 offered.

Me and the wife did the clean up and fill to save $$$.

Good enough for who it’s for.

Wait till rains and settles to add good dirt and compost.

Looks like a nice stand of hay in the background.

I have mixed feelings about stump grinding. Too many stump grinders around here solve the stump problem, but leave significant work for the customer.
It certainly does make the visible part of the stump go away, but it’s difficult to grow lawns there with the grindings soaking up moisture and displacing the topsoil. I have been suggesting customers look into complete stump removals.
Now that I have the excavator, it’s a breeze and another source of income, but its much more expensive.

@Hay Dude winter wheat

Being farm land not really worried about it. Just wanted it out of way.

I usually just rot and burn or pull them up myself. But this maple that wasnt happening.
Done a big monster willow and 11 small ones that way and couple apple and plum trees too. Over the years.

Guess you didnt notice we hauled the top layer grinding chips away.

We had him go double normal depth and only that was used with not much chips compared to first layers. Mostly dirt and some chips.

Anyone dumps piles like that in my hay fields is getting a knock on their door.

I have followed behind stump grinders leaving customers with soil/chips mix that never seems to successfully grow grass until the chips decay. That can take years.
