The 1130G is now wearing the bar that cbfarmall brought by (Thanks Chris!) along with new Blue Jet 1/2" chain. We'll be ready for Saturday!

That's a beauty Ted. What do you figure it weighs with that bar?

I dunno, Tim .. but some math will get us into the neighborhood.

PHO of a 1050 is 19.5 lbs ... I figure the gear drive adds 5 more. The B&C probably adds another 10 .... so we're roughly at 34.5 pounds of rompin' stompin' gear drive wood cuttin' fun! I just hope to remember to get video this weekend.

Are you near this saw Fraser.
I would be very interested in it.

Guys could use a little help, a while back I bought a Homelite 2 cycle water pump and this engine is like no Homelite I've ever seen. It is a big engine with a 2 piece cylinder/head configuration. Recoil and air filter does appear to be a consistent Homelite desgin much like the 1050 and larger. Long story short is a guy is wanting it badly for a kart and I need some help with a couple of questions

1) I know I am not supplying a lot of information but does anyone have a clue as to how many CC's this engine could be?

2) The pump was designed for low rpm operation and with it on a cart I'm thinking he is going to try and make her scream and was just wondering if anyone has experience with these and just how weak is the rod, how many safe rpm's will it handle?

3) Is there a website that anyone knows of that might have information (such as Acresinternet)?

I have a lot of literature buried out here and some stuff with the pumps but never paid much attention.

They did use the same set up as KL98 and KL100 Karts to run a water pump which is close to the 770 775 style motors but those did not have a removable head.

They have made a lot of industrial type stuff that did not interchange with saw stuff.

Post up a pic and lets see it.

Makes the decision as to whether you cut the log from the top or the bottom really easy. Likely not a go to saw for limbing anyway.
Make sure you wear your hernia belt.
Great looking machine.
Never having seen a gear drive saw let alone run one; with all the power those big saws have what is the point of the gear drive? Were they made before skip chains were available or did they just use them for really long bars?

No geezer moments this weekend Ted. Don't forget the video.

The guys here from the PNW are the real knowledgeable ones ... it would help if Randy Mac would chime in here instead of embellishing my posts on another board with a dancing banana pirate icon thingy. :hmm3grin2orange:

Most likely a combination of things ...

Gear drive allows you to 'stretch' the bar, as does the use of skip chain.

This critter came with a 60" B&C and helper handle (pix earlier in thread). Where the previous ownership were cutting in the upper Midwest with that setup is beyond me ... I CAN'T WAIT TO RUN THAT SETUP ... EVEN FOR NOODLING!!

If you don't get it I have one sitting on a shelf waiting for a going through, not sure what condition it is in but I can check if you want, I think it even has all its parts.

That thing is sick! Looks like we are going to get some cutting in also for the next three or four days while the weathers half way tolerable. Be safe!

Ooops Sorry..... I thought that ad ( Extra Heavy ) was for my Super wiz 66 :hmm3grin2orange:

Newest added Homey to the collection...

 

[cbfarmall]

My newest Homey. Super nice C9. Don't know the story on this other than I was told it was a demo model for a saw shop and placed in the attic when it became woefully obsolete.

Sadly, this saw should be nothing compared to what I have on the way. (Not a Homelite)

The Homelite part of today's cutting trip

Finally got to take out the new animal ...

Here's the like to the non-embeddable (is that a word?) Photobucket video, YES RANDY, I have a red hat ...

Why am I unable to take a decent picture of this saw?

The thing's like nothing I've run before (except maybe cbfarmall's 3100G) and really commands your attention when you're running it.
