Antique saw thread

[67L36Driver]

Mark: I pulled the carb and reed (what's left of the reed) out and from what I can see of the crank assembly it is a rusted mess. It would be a miricle it the crank throw wasn't pitted all to hell along with the rod.
I lost heart and shoved it into a corner.

The purchase has to be my worst 'Oh chit!!' ever!

The roasted John Deere 23 pales in comparison.

I'll shoot a picture of it later.

Yeah mine too.

I always wondered why Poulan bothered to buy Wright. I figured it was for the bladesaw patents and dealer network. I'm thinking more and more that I was correct in that thinking as the more I see the Wright built saws, the less I think of them.

Once they were bought out, Wright designed and built saws pretty much ceased to exist.

Wright Stander mower. Same company?

Can any of you tell me what Stihl this is? Obviously the seller doesn't know since he posted it as a T550. My guess is 075.
