[CM76]

This pic was sent to me from Brian, a member here.
He said it was hanging inside a Lamb chainsaw dealer for years.
Its now in a Museum in New York.

Nice one Cliff - Brian told me the story about this one as well. A nice Blue Streak Automatic.
It has a good home now.

Regards,

Chris.

I got these about 6 months ago and just restored them in the last few weeks.
One I got from Ric, Sawbones. Bars and chains I got from Brian and some small parts.

That saw is in Grass Lake Michigan.
It is on display at the Whitetail Hall of Fame
museum. The museum also has the largest
collection of old hay tools on display.

Ric, I know that you cant run that Titan setup by yourself, so when you find it, you can go ahead and send it to NC. I will see to it that 67 mustang and IGPOE help me run it

Nice to see this thread still kicking. Gotta get a few things outta the way, then spending some time with the 2 man saws this winter. Hope to get a KB6 going, Mac 7-55 to stay running, DA-211 fixed and fire up the Mall 7. Just cant seem to prioritize my time these days.

I must say that is one of most coolest things that I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing! :msp_thumbsup:
I'd love to try and run that.
I hope it at least had skip chain on it.
Looks like cookie cutting has been around for a while!

Awesome!!

One note regarding that 20 foot Twin Twin is that it probaly weighs about 350 lbs as shown.
I bet ya 4 guys sat it there and the two are just balancing it.

My Bluestreak with an 8 foot cut weighed about 160 lbs.


As far as cookie cutting there aint no self respecting saw shop on the planet that dont test their saws before handing them to a man that makes his living after packing a saw 1000 foot up a hillside only ment for mountain goats to travel.

There is no way you can sell a saw unless you have ran it in an extended cut under a full load. :msp_thumbsup:

Here is a pic of my buddy Rod when he was just 8 years old running a new 1952 Homelite model 17. Rod tells me that growing up in the old saw shop he packed many Titan Twins out to the scrap bin as the newer lite weight saws were flooding the market.

You really know how to twist the knife, don't you, Ric?!

I have a clutch drum and a 9/16 sprocket, If you need a sprocket.
I have a bar cover but it has lots of corrosion on it.
I don;t have a trans clamp or helper handle.

Sad thing is old saws are still being scrapped. For a quick buck.:msp_cursing:

The bars look nice and I wouldn't of noticed the tape until you said something! :msp_biggrin:
I was thinking of using LowRider ape hanger bicycle handle bars and bend them to match the O.E. ones on my Prentice, but I don't know if the chrome will crack and flake off when I bend them.
Whats custom SS bars?
