With 20 acres of woodland that hasn't been cared for in, I'm estimating 80 to 100 years, we've got lots of thinning and management to do. Which means lots of
wood to work with. We're also building our entire homestead starting from a plot you couldn't even pull into off of the road. Got an alaskan mill to start milling logs into more useable timber. Determined that I wanted a dedicated saw to run in the mill.
So I ordered one of the Farmertec MS 070 "repair kits" that you aren't supposed to assemble into a working saw. Voids the warranty if you do. I wonder if anyone has ever bought one of these kits and used it for repairs?
Anyway, I've started on the journey of assembling the saw from the parts. Carton came with no parts list and certainly no instructions. I've never built a chainsaw ;) The packaging is actually pretty good, but quirky. Like, only the parts anyone with a chainsaw would easily recognize are labeled as to what they are. the rest, if the bag is labeled at all, say "PJ 070 Made in Ching" Ching, not China. And while most of the parts that go with the gas tank and the oil tank and pump are in a couple of bags that appear to be all fuel and oil related items, one of the parts was in a bag with the sparkplug and two needle bearings. There's a bag with the gaskets in it, except for the one that goes on the fuel tank, which was mounted in place, with the base plate of the fuel tank held in place with a couple of screws - that are not the screws for mounting the base plate of the fuel tank.
Quirky.
If anyone has
experience assembling one of these and can recommend any helpful resources, or has any tips, I would love to hear from you.
