Hooked up the maker and another guy needing one. Think they are going to give it a try.

I had question about the plastic holding up.  =  it depends on temp and if i used nylon it would help, i mostly do rc stuff.
 i can 3d print anything you want pretty much if i have something to work off of

1st one will be made.   8)

2 going to be made so I can test one out and compare.

Stated he will order some higher heat plastic being his normal plastic starts to melt at 300. Seeing if he can get 400 or better.

Pic I showed of it being right there bu clutch. = figuring heat.

Yep those clutches can get pretty hot.   I am looking forward to the results.    That sure would be cool if it works.

Wonder what kind of heat numbers would be transferred to the plastic part worm gear there.

I had my 475 out today to cut some of this Elm off.     I had not run this saw since 2015 and it fired up and did not even need tuning.    This saw always runs great.

It has a 28" bar here in this pic.    I could not lift this log with my tractor is why I cut the end off.

Forgot to post here this 475 a guy found in Alaska.  Found in a pawnshop for 100. He ask us was it worth it as he didnt know the saw. We were like BIN! He got it for $80.

Found them. They were already buried deep after a couple days.

Also had a video of it running. Deal of the month year whatever IMO.

That is a heck of a deal.

I have to say Kevin the 475 I have is the one I rebuilt back in 2012.   That is the one I got the new OEM piston from you and installed.    This saw seems to have really great compression and always cuts and runs great.

I ended up ordering a set of those big west coast dawgs spikes that came with the full wraps.  Felt I could use them on the 505 with 32".   

I hated the small dawgs on the 385xp when using the 32" and wished I had had the bigger set on it. So getting a set while I still can for 505.

Guy I sold 385 to local first thing he did was pull the small dawgs and put on bigger dawgs with his 32" set up.
