Montgomery Ward Chainsaw ?

[Bob_E]

I recently acquired an old Montgomery ward chainsaw. It has an identification plate but it's worn & the only things legible are two engraved numbers and Montgomery ward at the bottom.
33387
D65 1101
I'd like information on the engine. Possibly some specifications, displacement/power ratings, who manufactured it, are replacement parts available? Can anybody help me out?

Thanks

I through in a few pictures. If anything it's a pretty neat old-time chainsaw

I checked out Acres site. They did not have any models listed under Wards. Here is the link to their site:http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...d8d083a8d741e3db88256c9b00780d89?OpenDocument

You might get in touch with them. Perhaps they would be interested in pictures of your saw for their site. Hopefully someone else may be able to help you in your quest. It's a neat old saw you have. Good luck.

The shape of the muffler and jug makes me think you may wanna look under Clinton to find more about it.

Montgomery Ward Chainsaw

Bob, I have a Montgomery Ward D65 chainsaw that looks identical to the one in your photos, except mine is painted green. I purchased it used at a Ward's dock sale in 1963. In doing some repair work on it way back, I determined that the engine was made by Tecumseh, and I purchased their 2-Stroke Cycle Engine Mechanic's Handbook. In that handbook, I have annotated that the engine is a Tecumseh Type 1265D. There's probably a tag on it somewhere that I used to get that information. I also have written down the designation H58, but I don't remember what that means. The serial number on mine is 3625165 60 VF. Looking at the specifications in the manual, the Type 1265D engine has a displacement of 5.80 cubic inches. The bore is 2.093"/2.094" and the stroke is 1.63". Mine came with a 17" bar with a 7/16" pitch chain. It was a good strong, fast cutting saw, I think rated for up to a 33" bar. I still have it, but I think the cylinder is scored - at least it acted like it the last time I tried to start it about 10 years ago. Parts may still be available from Tecumseh, but I have no immediate plans to restore it - maybe someday. Gene Gauss
