Chainsaw Repair

Never painted one so I do not know.    Usually if  I am going to spray can something I use Rustoleum.

Parts arrived.

Outer oem spike.

Now to redneck me some full wrap brackets to work.

Paint can wait IMHO.  Full wrap has enough on it anyway. Half the one that lost almost all of the paint.

Going to piece it together in one post from yesterday.

Now to redneck me some full wrap brackets to work.

Got my pieces cut to make brackets.

To cool my poulans that use a lot of 2 series parts happens to have the full wrap fasteners. 1 in each saw. Good thing I have a bunch of parts saws on hand. These things list for $5.79 each through husky. The longer ones.

First try rednecking. Used a old 2 series inner spike to make a strong outer brace deal.

Good enough for now.

What left of a inner 2 series spike. Then grind to fit slot.

Way to go.   Looks good.

Crazy part was I found a poulan handle to use as a spacer (bigger piece you see under jred handle) that had the exact spacing I needed. So no drilling needed on that part.

Funny thing was I lost the chuck key to my drill press. Got 1 hole drilled through the oem spike and needed a new bit.  Got lucky it would fit in hand drill to do second hole.
