Well it’s off the bench a few more bits to do but it’s getting there

Yeah, Got'er done. This project gave a reminder of why I don't like to paint. The prep work is tedious and and messy plus after it's done it needs to be handled with care like a new born baby. And the patience needed to wait for it to cure is a problem since I want to always put it back together too quick. The end result is nice to have though. The first color it was painted was too far off, this color is just a tad lighter than the original paint but a pretty close match. The handle/gearbox cover piece was left original because the decal is complete and in very nice condition. It may get masked off and sprayed but then it'll need bar decals and a nicer bar. I'll find some nicer oil and gas caps for it too.

While putting away the newly finished Chip A Saw, this one was in a box, in the way so might as well start on a new project. Unfortunately the paint is junk so it will probably need to be sprayed. Chainsaws are lower on my list of collectable tools so that's the reason there's a few need to be gone through. This has been in a box on the shelf and hasn't seen daylight for years, just like that Bee Jay winch from the engine rebuild thread. Did I mention painting is low on the fun list? The 2 tools are a very similar in yellow so getting them ready to do at once is the plan for now. There's also and older type Chip A Saw but that is already done, just not painted. Can't remember if the yellow color is similar. Maybe @JUST O&R 's decal guy can make a couple of Mono saw decals???????? Huh? Maybe? Huh?

A while back I noticed a few people asking about these hitches on a Facebook page, thought I’d have a go at making some to see if I could sell any. Here’s how far I’ve got. First job was making a jig to put the 90 degree bend in some 10x50mm bar. needed some 1” square bar to fit in the hardy hole of my anvil. This is the jig I made The round bar fits in the pritchel hole to keep it sturdy Works a treat All the same Next hurdle was putting the cranks in the bars, I made up an attachment for our hydraulic press 9 tons of force to put these bends in

He said he was going to start using a big pan. I think he needs one of those pans you got under the old cars about 3x6 and not inches

Take a look in the engine rebuild thread. That rod was changed to a newer slotted rod but I still used a plastic cage bearing with 9 rollers. It fit perfect so this adds more confusion. The big trick is to not loose the rollers when taking it apart like Clint does.

It has the original Chip A Saw decals on the cover and the bar yet also a painted label on the bar for Bunyan. That's the black label you sent me. Stole it from ya!

That's a bit ruff!

I see you have been doing something I thought you were just sitting home this time of year. looks great color looks great. You seem to paint good when you need to looks great paint matches very good . so is that a chip-a-saw or a bunyan or bonyan YOU do know the chain is on backwards. Made you look

Both bonnets all welded up and cleaned up, I’m so pleased with them I thought they were scrap at the beginning. Big thanks to my son Steve for his help.
