Just seen this in the chainsaw repair group facebook. 

When you own a older jonsereds and you can find the part. You make it yourself.  Pretty neat.

Nice redneck recoil repair shown on CRG

Good idea he had.

I'll say, and now that I've seen it a similar mod is going on my Rancher. 

I hate how it falls on it's side when I set it down.  Around here during brown season a saw falling on it's side like that and then twisting around induced by the engines rotational torque can bunch dry kindling grass up against the muffler and start one of those wonderful 50 million dollar wildfires. 

They sure are exciting.

Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad

Guy was milling and broke off.  Good enough to geter done.

Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad

That looks like band aids that have gone wrong.
Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad
Post by: Cut4fun . on May 02, 2021, 10:19:54 am
UPDATE : The guy in UK with a poulan 3450 with chain brake cover etc. Never did find a muffler cover for it. 
So he took a chance and ordered a 2 piece little poulan muffler from China for like $9 shipped.
He was able to make it work for his needs.

Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad
Post by: 3000 FPS on May 11, 2021, 09:49:32 pm
That is a better alternative.   
Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad

Think he said 575 that came in. Fix worked and was used hard.

Guy wanted to test his newly self ported saw out so bad.  ;)   But he was missing one thing so he did this.

I love it.





Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad

The least he could have done was to use a beer carton.

Post by: Cut4fun . on August 10, 2021, 08:18:11 am
Local saw that was 20 but I wasnt going to do the roundtrip. Friend got it for 10.

Ok that is copper colored and not pink.   Got it.

Now thats the whole deal on one. 

How can one think thats cheaper.



Title: Re: Best Rednecking good bad
Post by: 3000 FPS on October 26, 2021, 09:41:51 pm
Maybe he knows someone in the plumbing business.    With all that copper the handle is worth more than the saw.

Guy on CRG just got 2 free 268.  Past owner told him he calls them glasspacks.

That piece of PVC would cost as much as a plastic scabbard.   
If you had some scraps, then not a bad idea.

One of the mods in my group.

Project saw that has a broken master control mount. 
Took a shut off clip, trimmed it and bent it then drilled a 2.5mm hole in it.  Small bolt to secure it. 
So far it seems sturdy enough.
