Tearing down a 2100AO and a Super 2100 Automatic to see if I can make either two runners or a runner and a donor. I've got the NOS bearings, gaskets, seals, pistons, etc to make a run at it anyway.  |

Neither of those two saws looks like they've been abused too badly! Should be fun!

Looks like a good pair to put back together. Should have quite a snarl to them when cutting. looks like the one has a chip in it already. Good luck!

Got them torn down. The runner had some pretty bad crank bearings.   |

Homelite jigsaw puzzle. much more fun than the 5000 piece winter landscape with a million white pieces. also that's a strange looking disassembly tool there in the bottom right  |

I think the chip was installed because they couldn't get the rotor off. It was on extremely tight and took a little finesse to remove it. I'm not a fan of using chips as I like to keep saws original. I do think the chip advanced the timing to a sweet spot on that saw that helped it to get it noticed in some vintage saw races against some well-modified Husky 2100's and some big Macs after they lost to it. |

I found a 2000 that I pulled out to maybe add into the mix. It's a runner that the previous owner took apart to restore.  |

Did some aluminum brazing on a couple of chain derails that occurred sometime in it's life. Also used the aluminum brazing rod to fill a place that had a 1-1/2" X 3/16" area missing on the edge of the casting.   |

Thanks Leon. I just have to grind down the repair areas and finish sand them smooth.

I have often wondered about that method, tried it once, bad result. Prolly should try it again sometime. What brand, source, method did you use? Thanks. If this derails the thread, I will move it to a new thread of its own.

I've used two brands. HTS-2000 and Forney Easy Flow. I use my oxyacetylene torch to heat the repair area.
You basically heat the repair area until the filler rod melts as you rub it on the area. You don't want the flame near the filler rod. You just use the heat of the casting to melt the rod. I've found that the puddle of melted rod tends to have quite a bit of surface tension and it helps to use something to break that tension to get it to flow out. It reminds me of spreading old fashioned body lead.
