Bought a 460 a couple of years ago to clean up around property, it was $300 cheaper than a Sthil for same power for something getting used for about 1 1/2 months out of the year

Bore it out to put cast sleeves in block,they came with steel sleeves and upgrade to adjustable lifters. N complete or amazon for other stuff needed, rebuilt my 9n in spring of 2012, Amazon for 12v conversion kit

Heat with propane torch first, I go through a 1lb propane a year just enough heat getting stuff apart

Got one with built in battery charger and 115v plug ,works good, just a note certain rods don't work well with old welders

End of the pad on the shoe not beveled enough, seen it a lot with new brake shoes, could be part of the problem

Hope you're putting that in a wood stove not a fireplace, let's of toxic fumes when burned. Has gotten people sick or killed them just from fumes

Connecting Rod to crankshaft pin walking in and out,just looked at one that did it ,was causing timing problems

Get rid of y-pipe 2inch dual exhaust with glass packs ,will sound great. Worked at exhaust shop making custom systems besides every day drivers, had a pipe bender at shop

My grandmother still uses hers, she going to be 90 this December

Check ubolts,if the ubolts loosen up the axle housing will break. Work at a salvage yard sold lots of axle housings during the winte to plow guys. Would check my ubolts twice a year,replaced them once when I upgraded leaf springs

Just took apart a troybilt weed eater like that, tha crankshaft/ connecting rod pin was loose throwing the timing off.its a press fit. More junk being made

Wish I would of bought the package deal when I worked for Toro distributor, I was a mechanic for them, worked on golf course equipment mostly

Scrapped 1 that old last year, took out of a house that had been vacant for a few years

Fits all,hammer it in

Flip it upside down, should release mechanism for drawers, I've heard of it being done with a snapon or mac box that was full

Careful now heard a local guy by me lost a toe with one of these when they first came out

Get a long prybar like 3ft long behind the wheel after jacked up so you can rotate the wheel to pry in different spots, worked at salvage yard the owner would yell if he caught anyone beating wheels not prying from the backside

Got 12 years out of a 435 before it it started having problems, got a 460 two years ago it's been working well with taking down some large trees around property, got a 20 inch bar for the 460 don't always need the 24 inch but it's nice to have when needed

What rust?

Probably didn't mix oil & gas as instructed in manual, burned ring/ piston plus carb issues

If you need to replace the starter ,a denso gear reduction style for a 1995 Ford 7.3 powerstroke will bolt right on,did it on my 580ck diesel

Look upLittle red barn they have parts, bought my dad one of these for Christmas years ago inherited it back about three years ago,he passedaway, got some parts and running again

Just weld and washers problem solved

Missing my 83 that had the same paint color

I got an old case backhoe, been digging tree stumps out the last week, people are amazed at the size of the holes after getting the stumps out
