Antique saw thread

[Mr. Bow Saw]

I take my hat off to you you really are a gifted man I suppose any parts you can't source you need to remanufacture I think you need to open a chainsaw museum

Thanks
Yeah sometimes it takes making a part. I would like to set up a chainsaw museum. Don't have anywhere to do it yet.

Where in California are you? Can I visit?

I'm in LA county. Yes you can visit. People come here everyday to buy firewood and tree guys come
to dump off there loads of wood. I don't show them my saws.
My saw storage shed is packed to where there is no more space. Most all of the saws I restored are
covered to keep the dust off. So you would not be able to see to much.

My in-laws are down your way so I come down often. I'll look you up some time. Thanks!

thoughts on Disston DO-100?

I saw one the other day. It turns over so not locked up. Missing the handle but had the scratcher chain on it. I never made an offer on it as I was not even sure it was considered for sale. Saw it ages from late 40s.

Here is a Solo Rex 125 I got from Germany. It Came from a Fire Department in a little village named Welchweiler of a 150 residents.
Has good spark and compression. I need to clean the carb and it should run again. I put the Bow bar on it.

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

I got this 640 last month, I did not have time to get it out of the box until now.
This saw runs so I don't have to do anything to it.










Here is another SXL 925 I got. It needed a carb, a air filter and cover. I put in new fuel lines and filter on it.
It runs good now.

These are not super old but are to me (I was born in '86). Here is my dad's 041 that I redid for him for xmas. It fell off the tractor and the rear handle, front handle, clutch cover and top cover were crushed. That was about 15 yrs ago. I snuck it out from underneath the bench and bought a parts saw to piece it back together. Once I got spark back, it fired right up. He had no idea. I am also putting together enough parts to restore the parts saw I got to restore dads 041.





I just picked this up from my neighbor for $25. He couldnt get it to run right. I cleaned the plug, put new gas in and it runs like a champ. Its a loud little bugger. I ordered a NOS front handle with rubber grip, NOS guide plates, and bumper spike. It came with an original hard case too.

That's a fine thing to do, restore your dads saw like that! He will be proud of you and it.

Welcome to AS as well. Nice first post.

Thanks! He really appreciated it and was quite shocked since he last remembered it as a broken dirty hunk under the bench. He now uses it regularly.

Nice looker there Carl. From what information I've been able to find, they were in buisness from about 56 to 59. Trams was a sister company. Made just north of Chicago I think. Wish some ne're do wells would come my way.

What a beautiful machine. Is the Power Products the same engine they used in Lancaster saws?

I just bought this 031 av. The saw has never been used . The oil tank has never had oil in it . There is a few scrathes from being moved around for 30-40 years . Can anybody tell me what it is worth? If I had to guess the saw has only ran for minutes. Thanks
