Thank you for adding me to this form. I’ve been as a small engine repair/tinkerer/chainsaw and antique tractor —namely David Bradley —enthusiast for a number of years. I have recently restored a mid-1950’s David Bradley 917.60003 model Three-Sixty chainsaw. It’s been a journey so far!

Welcome! I can honestly say that I’ve never seen a saw like that before, what’s the story behind dual bars? Color me clueless 😁
My understanding is that the saw was designed to be ran with two bars. It was designed so that for bucking you would mount the bar in the center of saw to improve the balance (which at about 50 pound is NICE!), and when wanting to get flush-cut stumps you could mount the bar to the outside. In running both at the same time you can cut uniform slabs of wood. I think the dual function was more of a novelty than anything. Or so I understand it. I still can’t get it to start and stay running long enough to adjust the carb. It starts and runs strong but dies as soon as you touch the throttle.
