Long term 152 test
By: Old Iron Logging Date: March 28, 2011, 5:37 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Took the 152 out today. Sits at 431 tanks. Got cut short on
using it as the recoil spring broke. This will be my main
firewood blocking saw from now on. The 261 has sent the 152 into
the woodpile. Was blocking 16" wood and the 152 handled it with
ease. Has a 15" bar and Oregon 21 LPX chain.
Had the 660 with a 24" bar as a backup. Never again. If it goes
again it will have a 16-18" bar. Have the 246 on the truck now
for a backup.

Getting close to 500 tanks now. Tearing it down to port. Found
some play in the plastic housing.

Art is that play from where the clamshell bolts around bearings
or does this have a bolt on cylinder like the 350 with plastic
crankcase?

The 152 has a metal vertical split crankcase. It bolts into the
plastic oil tank housing. 3 bolts on the clutch side, 2 on
starter side.
Here is one on e-bay. The entire assembly in the US costs less
than a piston here.

Your not the only Efco dealer having troubles.
AUTHORIZED EFCO DEALER. Please note I am not stocking any efco
saws at this time.
Nothing wrong with the saws, as my firewood saw is the 156. It
is also a rental saw. My problem is with the distributor. Too
hard to make contact with, takes too long to look up parts and
too hard to get their statements paid. They know the Super
highway is here but don't know how to use it.

Found the cause of the play. Will post a pic when camera gets
home. Need a new crankcase. Of course the Distributor has none
in stock.
