i think it was with this saw,, i first learned that an chain had depth gauges.

I've never heard of a bar wrench for saws made prior to 1970. Then again, I never owned a pre 1970 saw with all original tools and parts with it either.

Man o man I can not believe this For the first time a question that I can answer. ( Tony an Oldsaw are Young adults ) My first saw was called cross cut saw No bar could be used on it, No special tool needed. This saw ran on man power.Some years went by I heard about this saw that ran on gas called Mac for short, ( Mr. Hoover was out of office at this time. I was told that he was called President Hoover ) that saw was like the T Modle ford was over the mule an wagon to that cross cut saw.No Sir there was no special bar tool back their if there were it never made it to the part of the state of North Carolina where I lived.

Saws during the late 50's to the early 70's came with a small tool kit that usually included the following items: flat bladed screwdriver, three round files, one small regular bastard file, a spark plug wrench that was a stamped steel socket with a hole through it- a small round piece of barstock was included; you slipped this through holes in the socket and wrenched with it that way; a small wire brush, extra starter rope, extra spark plug, a hex wrench, and sometimes a small, cheap pair of pliers.

AHHH, the basic tools for a chainsaw, its missing one thing, an extra air filter. oh well, I wasnt even born when the saws in question were made but I still gave the right answer. My how quickly the world has changed. in the course of less than 100 years we have invented chainsaws that run and cut well with each model being sometimes more powerful than its predecessor. at the current rate of advancement I would expect that someone will make a saw small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

You are a teenager. But dang good when it comes to saws. This time you must be talking about toy saw that Santa gave you. Now you may be on the money with your answer We lived so far back in the woods only got the news once a year and that was by carrie pigeon. It would take us a week on mule and wagon to just get to a road. My Dad went to town and it would take so long to go and get back home that the dogs would thing he was a stranger and tried to bite him. Yep you may be right bet you were a City boy they were ahead of us back woods folks

I couldn't resist this, but here is a picture, taken from my parts book, that shows the tools and acessories offered for a 1950, Disston, model D0-101, saw. This saw was only made 2 years after I was born. Don't believe I've ever seen this many tools offered in any other parts manuel. Not that I've ever owned or looked at very many other parts manuels. Lewis.

I tried to post the above pictures as one, but the file was too big and had to split it up. Lewis.

Lewis,
BMP format is really not meant for image transmission over a network. In fact, it's not even portable across systems - the only reason anyone other than Microsoft supports it is the same kind of reason an older brother accommodates a younger sister's babyishness. There's way too much data involved with the format; you should save it (with a utility that can do so) as a JPEG. If you don't have an image file manipulation/conversion program fetch the free and highly capable one at <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/">Imagemagick.org</a>. I guess the package you'd need is <a href="ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8-windows-dll.exe">this one</a>.
I've endured the downloads over a modem and have converted them for you, while resizing them to 80% size in order to keep them a little under 100KB.

Jack- I'm most certainly not a teenager though I wouldn't mind being one again. I've been in the woods 16 years, and some of that time it hasn't been a whole lot of fun. I think a lot of guys who work in the woods never really gave themselves any time to be a teenager; my grandpa started working as a cutter with a misery whip and axe when he was 15 in 1936, my dad went to work full time in the woods at age 17 in 1967 with a Mac 840.
PS, Lewis,
I'm not mad at you, but I am mad at Microsoft. In their attempt to become a provider of (still mediocre) stuff for other than stand-alone home computers they're trying vehemently to change even the way things have been done since long before Bill's mom got him the contract to provide the DOS (they bought) to IBM for use on the original PCs. At least the Europeans aren't afraid of them and are fixin' to slap 'em silly for not playing nice.

Lewis thanks for sharing the pictures. They were modern and up to date back then.
Glens thanks for the help on pictures I thought my computer was about to crash.
Jacob your Granddad and I come closer to bening the same age. My Dad worked at a sawmill for $1.00 a day, When I started wages had gone up I got 15 cents a Hour. We did not question our pay --every one in our neck of the woods were in the same boat. I read you loud and clear in what you are saying.
To my age and your age you are Young. With all this age differents you know more about Saws than I every will. You are good when it comes to saws.When you and the other members talk about saw it is the present Now.My thoughts go back to the past because that is what I know.
To All Members To Me You Are Among The BEST--SECOND TO No One

To glens:
Hi glens: No I don't think you're pieved at me. I'm just an old dinosaur cought up in the modern age. I have some knowledge of this computer thing that I've aquired over the last 2 years. I only use the programs that came with the computer or programs that came wilth the hardware I've installed. I don't download much off the web. Usually it's loaded with tag a long spyware, etc. I checked out your information you posted. Then went back and looked over my scanner programs. I see now how to use my program to convert to peg format. Is this any better. It's under 100 kbs. I've scanned photos and have added them to my picture files etc and posted on this site with no problems, that I am aware of. Have not posted scanned pics from a book or page before. Thanks for the info. See if this is more of what you're looking for. If not I guess I'll refrain from possting this type of pictures. If the MVP's or the Moderator's have a problem with any of my postings, please PM me, delete them, but let me know what I've done wrong. I am always open to " constructive criticisim, that's how we all learn, by our mistakes. This old dog is always open to try new tricks. Thanks to glens for you advice. Lewis.
