Vintage saw score this weekend

[Ambull]

Picked a whole bunch of vintage saws this weekend. I think most are only good for parts, but there are a few runners in there. Some really rare stuff. So here are the highlights:

A Wright reciprocating saw:

An Eska saw. Couldn't even find this one on Acres site....

A Reid Prentice Timberhog Bamtam in pretty good shape. I have no idea why this is called a "bantam". Must weigh 30 pounds.

A Strunk. No chain but the bar is super clean, and still has the label on it.

A Fairbanks Morse....

 

[Ambull]

A Mall Hornet 2 man saw. Crazy looking chain on this one.

An old Sears gear drive. Don't see these every day. I actually have two of them in the pile.

Of course there were some David Bradleys.

A Lancaster saw.

A Clinton

 

[Ambull]

A pile of Homelites

A pile of Macs

Some Hoffco's Neat saw, should be able to make a runner out of the three easily.

Some more Homelites

A couple rough Lombards, and a Remington 750. That Remington has one short fat bar on it...

I know... If these were all in good shape, I would have enough to start a museum.

 

[Teddy.Scout]

WOW!
Sweet haul!

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

Nice score on all those saws.

I like the Timberhog and the Hornet.:smile2:

 

[OREGONLOGGER]

Sweet Score AMBULL...All the yellow iron will fire right up with a few kits..250's in that pile?

 

[Roanoker494]

Very nice haul, rep coming.


From what I can find it looks like Esak was a rebranded Indian chainsaw built 1961-62.




Your "crazy" chain is called scratcher chain and it is horrible to cut with and/or have to sharpen.

Fairbanks Morse was a company that built recoil starter systems, don't think they built any whole saws.

You made out JP! That Eska sure looks like a Mono to me. I'm eying that XP1020, the Super44A, and the XL101.

Sears used to have a line of pitiful air cooled outboards by the brand name Eska....have no idea if there is any connection but as Eccentric said sure looks like rebadged saw made by Mono. Here's a pic of my mono...just as a comparision.....a number of your other saws look to be powered by the same AH-47 Power Products motor.

That had to take several trips to haul everything home...lots to do now that's for sure.

Wait a minute, that 101 is too new for Aaron.

I want second dibbs.

Yup, instant chainsaw museum. Great score.

Ambull: Really nice haul! :hmm3grin2orange: Please advise if either of those 'hockey mask' Macs is available.

I think I've gotten a reputation here.

Looking to add to the D-Handle squadron Carl? I've got too many irons in the fire right now anyways. I defer to the guy in the Stingray.

The XL-100 series is like popcorn, you just can't stop at a handfull. Pup has some snot for 54cc.

They're great saws for sure. Not quite sure why they didn't sell better than they did. The XL12/SXL family outlasted the XL76-130 series by decades. They're handy, light little buggers with good poop. BTW-there was quite a run of CHEAP NOS pistons and cylinders for those saws on feebay last year. Some are still there. I saw several NOS XL76-130 jugs for $20 or so........

Yep. Much more likely to be skulking around here than in the latest 346XP vs MS261 thread. I do have a reputation to uphold afterall...:yoyo:

I hear ya brother! That's why we keep the vintage, and muscle thread's up, and running! Rather re-read my own post's, and thread's than read about I wish the 20 inch chain saw's all had compression release's! WTF? Ha ha! kid's these day's. Cut some good Madrone with the Husky Saturday. Had a little gas in the bar oil. Seem's like once in awhile after the bumpy trailer ride. Ran flawleesly! How big cc was the homelite 2100? the automatic. P.S Do drop by the muscle thread's, and would love some more vintage pic's!!
