old saws that look new...or almost

[Modifiedmark]

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

That chain was called a barracuda chain, and is .404 pitch on that saw. At least mine was. You won't like cutting with that chain but it's easy to convert the rim sprocket to 3/8's pitch and you can remove the sharpener easily with just a screw or two.

You may want to change that roller bar out also, as they seemed to use a oddball drive link count with 3/8's pitch chain, besides since it's all bolt on you can always put it back to original if you want to later.

Here is my Dayton, like yours's

I am in the middle of bow saw country and I like to use them when it is appropriate. I have used the 640 and it is a strong saw. I had a log pinch the bar and the saw shot out of the log nailed me on my leg. Just about knocked me on the ground. You hear the gear drive whine a little then its all over.

I actually just found mine last week. I did a search on CL for the entire country and it was the only one. I found it in michigan and the guy was nice enough to take paypal and ship it to me. Cost me $50 and then $20 to ship. a good carb cleaning and she is rock and roll. nice shape to.

thanks for the compliments. im gonna have to get some pics of it with my 245 now...hehe

You have the best looking saws I think I have ever seen Mr.Bow Saw! They are all like so perfect and all I wanna do is get them dirty and fire them all up. Keep them coming

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

Thanks Wildman.

I like those polished covers on that Mac 650. They are all amazing looking saws though.

Just brought this home yesterday; was at an auction on July 4th evening.

It is not perfect but awful nice,

Very Good compression (by pulling starter rope, did not compression check it); starts on first pull hot and about 2-3 pulls cold.

I really didn't need it but CAD bit me at the auction. I'll put it with others of its family.

I'm trying to get the instant picture post down, rather than you having to click on the attachment x. So bear with me, I may need help.

You can just edit your original post until you get it right.

Some of you Gents. have got some awesome collection of saws, my hats off to you. And hey aroborist, I didn't marry the girl to get that saw---but that was funny as heck--He passed away about fifteen years ago and the Mother in law gave it to me. All these years the wife called it FullCrys big saw that was her Daddys. Now that I restored it she says the Mother in Law gave it to her. So i told her next time we need to cut something up that was big then she can use her saw. I like the old saw for looks and sound and it's cool to operate a little but I would rather have some of the others I have seen on this thread.More like ten or fifteen of them. Thanks for the compliements FullCry
