My first, FREE SAW

[Trigger-Time]

My boss told me today, There is a old saw in the pickup
you can have. I know its not much but it tickled me. He
said it was given to him. He was using it one day(1980) when
a neighbor stopped buy, the neighbor took one look at
the old saw and said "Son thats BS" turned around and walked
off, came back in while with a Homelite and said to my boss
"Here take this saw no man should have to use something like that"
Boss put this old saw in the barn in 1980,its been there ever sense.

Nice score!

 

[musch]

Very cool old saw.
Congratulations!!

 

[b1rdman]

Piece of junk...I have a pretty good scrap metal guy in my area. Send it to me and turn that freebie into cash.

 

[Trigger-Time]

The old thing don't look to bad, but the piston is stuck.
I put some AT fluid in the cyl, will let it soak a week or
so. Also put oil in the oiler, give it a pump or two, it still works.
After I took the pics, wiped off a little spot paint looks good under
all of that old dirt.

Be carefull, I got my first FREE saw the other day. So far I have about 100$ in the thing.

10$ carb kit, About 6$ in paint,5 or 6$ on little bolts and crap, a 58$ bar, and an 81 link chain that I have not picked up yet and am afraid to ask what it costs.

 

[Hard Knocks]

You will have to keep us posted with your progress. It will be nice just to get it running and be able to say that you have used it.

 

[disandat]

Very nice saw.

 

[fubar2]

Ive got one almost identical to that. Bar mount and dogs are different. Thirty five pound killer. Just let it rest on the log, gravity will make the cut for you.

 

[Trigger-Time]

Yes I would like to hear it run and make a cut or two, but I'm
not going to put much money or time into it.
Anyone know about how old it mite be?

Here is a pic with a 026 for a size comparsion.

 

[retoocs555]

Your bosses neighbor was very kind :hmm3grin2orange:

Makes me hurt just thinking about using that bradley

 

[fubar2]

I think mine is like a 56 if I remember right. Id say yours is a few years newer. Mine is gear drive. That one appears not to be??

 

[1953greg]

goooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont Know If I Should Give The Thumbs Up Or Down

 

[SmokinDodge]

Those old Bradly's are cool, from a nostalgia stand point. Dad's got one we run time to time and I have one that is parts. The first time I ever cut with one of those I had a new found respect for the old timer's and the equipment they ran.

It is rare to see them mating during the day, good capture! When the babies come I'll take the runt

The info on the old saw came from
http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/GasbyManufacturer?OpenView
Good site

 

[gunnarfan]

Well lets see. For free... hmmm. Got a bunch of cast homelite parts and a solid bar from my neighbor. My David Bradley 360.. a runner.. ran me $25. Oh wait. I put a new pull cord on it. The saw that could cost me.. and has in stuff I've gotten looking for parts is a Partner p-85 I got for $10. What I ended up getting on the journey was a homelite super 2 for $20ish.. a target tile saw for $60.. and yup a deli slicer for $25
