HAHAHA You find all the pieces??
My day went to here and there with several expletives throughout.
Weather seemed like it was breaking so we headed out to try and get some work in. HA! Got down to the lower elevation job and got rained on big time... Needless to say ... 1/2 hour drive was wasted, I got wet and there are still grapes in the tree.
Ran back up the hill and hit hail, snow and sleet all the way home to where the sun came out
Did not last long though.. Started snowing again not long after getting home.
SO out to the shed I went. I had parts and a saw to play with.. Actually two.
I started stripping down my old 200T that Brian fixed back when. Ran like a champ for all of a couple years after that. Seems about that long ago eh Brian? Brian did such a great job to her.
Well, the poor thing is 7 years old. It had been used and abused prior to me even laying my paws on it or Brian for that matter. It finally gave up the ghost last summer or fall. Can't remember.
I figured the rings had finally seen their end. YUP. SO did the piston and cylinder. Looks like it ate something that did not agree with it.
I will miss the little devil.
SO I put it in the box the new one came in with all the parts bagged up. I will hunt around for a new P&C kit for it as I am sure one will pop up one day reasonable. No sense in paying almost 300.00 for the OEM from the dealer. Might as well buy another one for 600.00 new before they are bye bye. Maybe the aftermarket will kind after the 201 (?) comes out.
SO I pulled out three of my old Husky 345s and a new piston kit and got busy salvaging one.
Good for the chipper and such. I do light brushing with them and they hold up for about 3 years of hard time.
Tomorrow is another day and we'll see what comes of it.
