I've been fixing
s*** all over the place . Things I have brought back to life or on the operating table waiting for parts .
Picked up more junk from my father . 1st was his old Sears Sportster chain saw from the late 60s . I pulled the carb apart cleaned it all up (pretty damn clean inside and good shape for the use it got and age) I really don't think it needed it but it got it .
Runs pretty good but need to fine tune the carb during the day as midnight is not a good time to do this .
The next thing he had 2 of so I got one was a Little Wonder yard blower from '87 that he scored off a neighbor some time ago which he said didn't run well . Looked in the gas tank and there's about a half cup of rust at the bottom ,no gas just rust . Theres no way in hell it ran at all. I pulled it off ordered a rebuild kit for the carb and am trying some Evapo-Rust on the tank , seems to be working on the rust in the tank , will let it soak till the carb kit comes in but the srews and bolts i had soaking cleaned up nice so far .
The next toy I got running is a little crappy mccullen eager beaver chainsaw . I got this some time ago from a dude who sold chainsaws and it was a junk trade in unit for a promotion his company was doing . He had a whole truck bed load of old stuff so I picked out 2 of the same model that looking to be in good shape but most likely had gas left in them.
I tore the best looking one down , cleaned it all up and took parts off the other to make one good unit and it runs very well .
Here's a running total of stuff brought back to running useable condition over the last few weeks
1960 3 hp Briggs& Stratton push mower with a crank start
1967 Snapper Comet 265x 26" cut 5 HP rear engine ride on
late 60s 18" Sears Sportster chainsaw
1978 Toro Home Pro 19" push mower with a 3.5hp Briggs & Stratton
2000s Mccullen Eager Beaver chainsaw with like a 10" bar .
So far I have about $60 into everything parts wise .
