What was wrong with it? It ran fine, if you didn’t mind gasoline leaking down your leg, and it running for only a couple of minutes.

Maybe I shouldn’t have set it on top of my running tractor. It fell five feet down onto a concrete floor. Turns out that’s bad for the gas tank.

No kind of glue would fix it. And you can’t just replace the gas tank: it’s integralto the chassis.

So I bought a new crank case. And Phil swapped the guts of the saw into it.

Runs fine now, and does not leak.

Thanks again to Wild Green Future for the generous grant that bought this Husqvarna 460 Rancher 24-inch chainsaw, as well as two outboard motors, a trolling motor, some LIFEPO2 batteries, and related items.

After the holidays, we’ll be back to doing chainsaw cleanups. Continue reading →
