Stuff you have fixed today

[Paui443]

Buildt two lean to structures to keep firewood dry. Been offered a lot of free to collect logs lately. Last night it rained so been out checking for leaks. Had one small leak I believe should be an easy fix.

Its not high class carpentry. The shed is overgrown with vine. Maybe more than a hundred years old. I want to reinforce the frame with 2*6 and gradually change the siding.I am attacking the vine root system in the hope of stopping the growth. Made a wokbench in there and occationally does some welding (but for the most part weld outside).

Sons Husqvarna 350 leaking oil all over the place, needed looked. He bought it a while back as a spares or repair job. It had been robbed of bits which we replaced, cheap enough saw and the after market spares are peanuts.




As you can see oil everywhere. The oil pump is under the clutch assembly. It all has to come off



Everything off and cleaned up a wee bit. Oil pumps held in place with one screw. It stripped the plastic, always risk when working on these saws.




Decide to split the saw and clean it, oil had got everywhere



Back together

Oil way was partially blocked, hopefully that’s it cured now.

I have one with a broken pull start assembly. As you say the Chinese have copied this saw and parts are available.

There is - someone who'll cut it, split it, stack it to dry and deliver it to you when it's 'fire/stove' ready.....

Aye, not me but some do, just not as their primary source of heating. Central heating in all its forms has reached us, you know..... We even have electric light, phones and telly too
