Antique saw thread

Clean and oil up that Allis Chalmers branded Poulan, fix the starter, and put it on eBay. Those tractor collectors pay good money for the Allis branded saws.

For that one I'd use my mix of 3 parts of kerosene or diesel to 1 part ATF. Spray it down good, let it soak, and wipe/scrub it off with a rag. That'll get the dirt and grime off and clean off the white fuzz and keep it from coming back for a while. Clean the rest of the saws up too while yer at it...

It was one of a big pick on the way home a member called
And asked what I had got...... (I had stated I wasn't getting them for big
Profit)...... I sold the saw for what I had in it and a 610? JD 2 cylinder
Carcass...... bro' s before saws... I guess
The guy that got the allis is the one that got me the pick
He has it all cleaned up and fixed in his collection

Cut that fuel/oil ratio back to 32:1 with modern synthetic two stroke oil and save your lungs.

Thanks.
I keep my saws in a shed I built. Years ago I started with a shed 6ft wide 12ft long by 8ft high for my business tools.
Then it got full with collector saws so I added another 6ft x 12ft room thinking that is all I need but added on two more times. Now its packed full again.
I built shelf's in every room. Some of the walk ways in the rooms are now packed with saws too. I have
covered up most of the saws I restored to keep the dust off them. The saws in the walk ways are not just on the wood floor. I put 2x4's across the shelf's to make temporary ones in the middle for more saws.
One room I have not seen all the saws in about five years.

It started like this. I don't have anymore pics right now then these two.

You have done so beautiful work there.
I do have a few questions.... What kind of paint are you using? Do you have the decals remade locale or buying them?

yea its definitely a buet, i really like yur one and would quite like to make it like that but yurs is a 620 i think, and i think that this is a 650, (i got given two and the other one has 650 written on the serial plate but this one just has the SN, is there sum where u can find out wot model saws come from there SN), yea the 600 series are very unique aren't they.

The serial numbers do not tell the model, the model is on the tag or tags riveted to the chassis in front of the recoil assembly. Only the 600 and 610 had the green tree on the airfilter cover that attaches with the chrome clasp at the rear. The 620, 620 Super and the 650 all had the same shape top covers that attach with a bolt at the rear, the 620 was just yellow with a green trim on the lettering, the 620 Supers had a copper colored top cover while the 650`s all had green top covers. I see you have already found Mike Acres site, Chainsaw Collectors.
