It wasn't designed to use both bar positions simultaneously. Inboard position is for bucking while outboard is for flush cutting.

That is an absolutely bizarre set up. Thanks for posting it.

The manufacturer obviously wanted to make the machine more useful. You could get exactly where you wanted to be with the outboard position, then switch back for cutting rounds. DB was a Sears & Roebuck brand saw. They made many things.

This belongs in a Hollywood props museum or something, think of the possibilities.

I had a couple of them I bought for $20 each and got them running and sold them. They are so LOUD, blood trickles out of your ears after running one.

Actually Sears does not manufacture anything, they are strictly a retailer. All items are sourced and the manufacturer can be determined by the 3 digit prefix before the model number.

I agreed with Guido, until I looked into it a bit more . . . looks like Sears at least controlled the company for a while. Pretty interesting.

Bradley Historical Society
"J. Herman Hardebeck succeeded in bringing the David Bradley Manufacturing Co. to North Kankakee in April of 1895. On July 13, 1895, the village name was changed to Bradley City, and then in March of 1896 to just Bradley. In 1958 the name was changed to the George D. Roper Corporation. In 1962 Sears merged the David Bradley Mfg. Co. and the Newark, Ohio, Company into a single unit. The Bradley plant became known as the Newark, Ohio, Co., Bradley Division. In 1964 the Newark, Ohio, Company is merged with the George D. Roper corporation. In 1982 the Bradley Roper plant is given to the village of Bradley. In 1986 fire destroyed 6 buildings of the Bradley plant."

*Search for 'DAVID BRADLEY MFG. CO.' if you want to learn more about the company, instead of just the saws.

I may have misunderstood the original quote, the poster may have been indicating David Bradley made a wide variety of items. That is correct, I think I have a hay wagon they built Bach in VA.
