I dunno for sure. Its something I picked up at Mills Fleetfarm a few years ago. I couldn't find one here. Dad was in the hospital so couldn't ask him at the time where he had put em. He was selling a lot of axes at flea markets and such just prior to that. He had Legionaires at the time. Weird how ya remember "stuff" triggered by an axe question.

I just have to take an axe to the woods. Just don't feel right without one.

Glad I can help out on the triggering of the mind LOL!

Had our little mini GTG here today. Got an awesome gift from @Just a Guy that cuts wood. Thanks Dave and Mrs Dave.

I got a freebie at the gtg today. Thank you @Gugi47 . It's a runner but needs a little love. @rarefish383 you wouldn't have a spare of whatever is supposed to cover that hole stashed away would you.

James looked around and couldn't find any with that hole in the clutch cover. Might be "custom".

PTO for a buzz saw.....

Oh well if you grab the clutch cover while cutting you deserve to lose a finger.

I found some things on Google about running a buzz saw off a chainsaw but no pics.

This giants well over 5' at the base. He left me a few gifts to heat the house with.

I can see why these old Jonsereds 49/52/52e/521 saws were such popular firewood saws. This ole 52 is a work horse.
Made a nice little pile in a hurry.

I got half split and stacked in the shed but then it got dark!

Hi @mainewoods. I see you lurking out there checking on us scroungers.

Crowbuster, yup Landpride and almost new. I should do okay selling it, paid $500 Can for it. Got a load today too. A nice Landpride scraper blade with hydraulic tilt went $800. I got a CHE one for a lot less.

Enjoy it my friend.

I also got another arch that needs even less work to get ready to go, just gotta narrow it up and cut off some excess steel. . $175

If my maths not too fuzzy, this is about day 50 of the heating season. That's approximately 1 & 1/3 cord of wood here.

Got another load of Eucalyptus sp from my local tree guy he’s a top bloke! It was about ½ a cord (2 m cube) which is about a quarter of my yearly wood requirements. Tried splitting it with the X27 and the Isocore, nothing but bounce on every hit. I gave up and noodled the entire lot with the 7900 (much to the delight of my neighbours no doubt). Luckily it was quite cool so easy work.

I told the tree guy to keep it coming, which will put me in the 3 year ahead territory or more to the going 2. 5 years ahead. The only problem with that is have limited space and will end up double handling wood which is not ideal.

Took the 2065 out and cut up the rest of that oak limb. Love running that saw! Especially after a few days running the ole 52! Took longer to roll the rounds into the bucket then slicing er up!

Still a couple peices out in the woods. The butt end was getting a little punky. Will grab em next time. The rest got split and stacked. Have another load of "dry" stuff to split in the morning. There is 1 more oak limb there that is pretty dry. Been down a lot longer then the first one.
