old saws that look new...or almost

Wright Rebel

This saw belongs to Tony down at Amick's. He says it's not a good limbing saw.

Here's another one.

Hello 67 Mustang
Man that's a beauty! Or are those two different saws? We used pneumatic and electric reciprocating saws in the meat packing plants split carcasses and cut off some primal cuts.I wonder how that type of action works in wood?I would think a whole lot of shakin goin on.I have heard guys would use the gas powered Wrights to split game up after hunting

Don't know if Tony ever cut with it or not. He bought it new and said it wasn't good to try to cut small stuff with. Been looking at it every time I go in down there for a while now. Love the chrome handlebar! Finally remembered to take my camera last week. Thought it was a nice saw.

Jerry,
The 250 came just after the 1-43 was discountinued in 1963, 250s were made into the early '70s. There must be a few hundred thousand 250s, I have 3 of them, early, mid and late models, they are not as pretty as your's.

A 1-40, from 1960, another one owner chainsaw.

My KS 43 and BLK. Both had never cut and only the KS had been started.
There has been some outstanding saws posted on this thread thanks for sharing !

You have two very nice old saws. They look great!!!

Thanks for that answer, I was about 12-13 years old when that saw was bought by my uncle and he did not use it much. He ran Macs only and my dad and I ran Pioneers only. My dads brothers all ran Homelites so there was always a lot of one versus the other brand among them. I became their mechanic as they could run and operate the saws but had no idea how to repair or even maintain them. Luckily I got to keep all the old saws as they moved on to buy newer released models they never traded them in ,I squirreled them away and held on to them over the years. I have all my saws, all my dads saws, my uncles Macs and some of my dads brothers Homelites. There is a few gaps in my memory of when each saw was bought but not about who owned which saw. The first saw I operated was a IEL model RA which I still have, the first saw I owned was a Pioneer 600, still have it and every saw I have owned since.

How about a couple Wankel KMS-4's. One is brand new never had the bar & chain installed until I got it. The other is used but in good shape.

Both have serial number tags on them which is rare.

It just came in the mail today! Pretty psyched. Cleaned it up a little and put some fuel in it and it started but would not stay running unless you held it full throttle and even then it was starving for fuel. I'll do a carb rebuild on it and it should be ready to go. What kinda chain is that?

 

[thomas72]

You use that type of chain for the chain sharpener. I have a role of the low profile 3/8 chain like that.

I kinda thought that may be what it was for but wasn't totally sure! That cain sure is sharp though.
