I'm trying to quit accumulating saws and do something with what I already have. BUT. .........I'm a sucker for saws over 6 cubes.

Hell, I'd be happy to have 1 saw that was 6+ cubes in running order, that wasn't a F.O.R.D. (Fix OR Repair Daily).

Now Kenneth.....I walked away from this one.

1 thought comes to mind looking at that exhaust: "Huh? What'd you say"? But very cool at any rate.

NNNNGGGGHHHHH!!!! You're killing me. I can't get there till sometime Saturday. AAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!!:bang::bang::bang:

Don't worry, I'm confident that it will still be there
BTW found 4 more saws on the last trip and I resisted.

My wife feeds my habit She usually finds nicer saws than I do.

BTW the Pioneer runs on a prime. Smells like pure varnish when it's running. The Mono runs on a prime shot too.

I picked up one on those from a customer a few years back that ran on a prime too. I put a kit in it and cleaned out all the varnish from the sediment bowl and tank and it ran real nice. I had to take a peek inside the case just to see the engineering. What a wild design! It had a free floating rings and bridged ports all the way around the cylinder. plus a removable head if I remember correctly. Really made me want to get out my dremel just to see what I could do with it :msp_biggrin: LOL !!!! I have a little hack fever even on a normal day though!

 

[sawnami]

Yes, it does have a removable head. Sounds like from your research that it might have possibilities.

Workshop is on the prowl. We'll see what he brings back.

Since you appear to be a tool collector, you should keep on the lookout for an original Remington Bantam type tool for the plug and bar nuts.

Kind of like this: View attachment 309876

Thin 13/16" open end and with 9/16" deep well on the other.

 

[sawnami]

I'll keep my eye out. Any identifying markings?

Well, after prowling around the swap meet, I didn't find any saws I could bring home. Plenty of saws, though. But all the good deals were gone. (At least good deals for me.) Had a Homelite Zip in my hands only to find out another guy bought 15 seconds before me. But I did come home with this.View attachment 310049


But the best part was getting to hang out with sawnawmi.

Really enjoyed our visit.

It's pretty hard to cover 1600 vendor spaces and not find something. That's a nice VAT40 that you found Steve. I wound up with some antiques and a couple of saws and made a couple bucks to boot. This was my 36th year selling there. Originally started out with my Dad and I selling Model T parts.

Brass or steel? Not sure that I saw any. Saw some kerosene tail lights and side lights.

We had a celebrity at the meet also.

 

[Homelite410]

Steel is fine.

When they were brand new? (Just released??) :msp_scared:

 

[Locust Cutter]

When did they start producing the El Camino? Either way, I think that they ruined a nice Chevy, but 'll give them credit for a clean conversion. That's a lot of skill and labor.

would have been at the swap meet but had to go to a wedding in KC, I sent a cell pic of me wearing my green hedgefest T shirt

First El Camino was 1959.
I think they said a 2 door sedan and a station wagon were used to make the car. Notice the fuel filler nozzle and hose sticking out of the left tail lamp fuel door on the trailer.

did the muffler mod on the craftsman saw to night, (2004 wildthing type) the muffler came apart in two halfs
kinda like a old 3400 and had screen wrapped around a hole filled center support, it was kinda easy to mod :biggrin:
