When you bought a new Stihl in Australia back in the 60's and early 70's these fuel cans where part of the package, were they available in the US as well ?

Looks like Stihl may have had some connection with Castrol

Homelite 330 that belongs to a friend. Got a ton of good advise on here for sprucing it up.

th

I found this in a shed. It survived hurricane sandy on long beach island nj. Its presumably still in that shed. Not siezed but I was drinking so it was no time for disassembly. The heaviest damned saw I ever held.

WOW that wards is one of the saws that is on my bucket list !!!!!!!!!

That's a cylinder for one of the early large industrial Homelite engines used on gensets, water pumps, and the like. Big sucker.

Looks like a 24 by 2 cyl if the top is round not flat , the big poulan two mans used the 24 by 1 , they were flat

Would a 1966 Mc 100 kart be considered an antique?

 

[Bill G]

Yes that would. Do you have a MC100 in a saw?

 

[watsonr]

Yes that would. Do you have a MC100 in a saw?

I do... it's got an 895 gearbox on it as far as I can tell.

Why did they make those weird bars that are almost a circle? They look wild.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/for/4706205871.html Here's a good looking late 50's or so homelite for 80.00 still running. I came across it and figured one of you guys might love it. I saved the photo for you guys too.



Here's a 1958-? That looks nice for 95.00http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tls/4701259377.html <----- Correct link (sorry) Keep in mind I don't know squat about vintage/antique saws.
