You have contributed a lot to this Pioneer thread Bruce .I know your thing is McCullough saws, but don't think for a minute that your going to go sneaking off.

I was just seeing if anybody on this thread noticed, that an all yell er, and black man was hanging around LOL.
I've been always fascinated with chainsaws, it doesn't matter what make, or model, of the Old Stuff. This new stuff, doesn't turn my crank, same as Tractors, and Farm Equipment in general.
Ever since 1973, when I was 7 or 8, we moved onto the Farm, after the House was built. My parents bought this Farm, in 1971, and it was just a bare 50 Acres with no buildings.
My Bus picked me up, and dropped me off, at the corner, and when I got off the Bus in the Fall, if I heard a Chain Saw, I knew that it was my Great Uncle, cutting fire wood for his own use, I'd run like the wind to the House. Quit often, as soon as I ran through the door of the House, my Mother would grab me, change me out of my School Clothes, and I was gone to the Bush, to be with my Great Uncle. Some times She was on the Phone, and I just dropped my books, and I was Gone To The Bush, School Clothes And All.
When I got to the Bush, my Great Uncle would either walk me back to the House, or send me back to the House, to get changed.
At that young of age, I Got A Bad Case Of Saw Dust in my Veins, and a Real Bad Edict-ion For Chain Saws. LOL.
I've enjoyed being here on AS, and Enjoy looking at Pictures, of these Old Chain Saws, seeing how other makes, and models where made, and how they looked. When I get older, and have tons of money, I'm going to start collecting other Chain Saws as well.
Like I said before, I've been always fascinated with pretty much any type of equipment of the wood cutting industry, even Cross Cut Saws. I have one of those too, at an Auction Sale, and that needs cleaning up, and the blade sharpened. Some day, I'm going to figure out how to sharpen and set the blade on it as well, and for kicks, cut some wood with it. I even have an old Buss Saw that some one built here that I picked up last spring from a Farm Equipment dealer. I traded a Grain Auger that I didn't need any7 longer, because I have a multi purpose elevator that handles both Bales, and Grain.
I'm 42 years old, and would rather use the Older Equipment a head of the Newer Equipment. Go Figure. It should be the other way around, with my Generation Any Way. Bruce.
