My XL-12 bow--old reliable!!
xl-12 bow,old sears -power products gear reduction with 1/2 chain--WOOD EATER,mcculloch 10-10, Below sand cast poulan gear reduction bow --90 cc--1/2 chain
Lombard wood lot wonder
Auto oiler on bar with hollow pto shaft and hole at center of sprocket--advanced technology !! Cast iron sleeve--brass float carb set at 45 degrees between vertical and horizontal-dual triggers for bucking and felling-push button kill switch--note handles are not the cheap flimsey alluminum but made out of thick walled steel.A boy carried this saw into the woods to cut trees down. A tired but happy sawdust covered man carried it home. 28 Lbs.
XL-12---Note the long black guard on bottom of bow. have only seen this 1..Rare?? anybody else. This saw was thrown away-picked up by coworker and received by me-runs good needs carb kit--I like the bows
Bows-coleman lanterns and stoves
Poulan 361
The sears--Start it-shove dogs in wood --WOT and hang on with both hands--Make sure all women,children and small wood land creatures stand away. 1st time cutting I could not believe how wide the kerf was or the size of chips or the pile it makes on just 1 cut!!! Slow-steady-loud--I really like cutting with it. Uncle David did a demo cutting with this saw and a xl 12 bow for 9 neices-nephews-relatives outside my parents house-they liked it.Funny -my 85 year old dad sitting in side house-hearing gone from 35 years industrial arts teacher-loud machinery.. Get through and come inside--He says I heard your saws out there--They sounded good!!! Made my day.He taught me a lot--------

Does anyone carry insurance on their saw collection, or does the homeowners policy cover them? Course know a few of these aren't replaceable, but was wondering.

I too, am curious about that, because I have some saws that aren't really super rare and worth a fortune, but I have never seen others for sale to compare prices on.

Yea, some of these are quite valuable.
I know that when mine were stolen, that I was reimbursed under the homeowners policy, but the MS-362 was a newer saw that I'd had a receipt on, and received full purchase price for it. The other saws were reimbursed for what I valued them at, but all told was less than $100. I didn't get an actual replacement cost for those.
I guess for the older stuff, if you had a bill of sale for a used one they might reimburse for that price, but with so little info on pricing, would have some concern of the insurance adjuster seriously under valuing a larger collection.

stoked for you that you built a 660. stoked you have a 90cc saw. a little insulted by the OEM badge on the AM saw though
I couldn't agree more.
I think our generation is missing the mark a little bit. I miss seeing my ol' grandpa driving around in his old Chevy truck.... proud as he was to drive American steel.
I will pay extra for quality made tools, and if I can't afford new I'll buy used. I refuse to give my money to these rip off artists.

Wife running big saws, congratulations. Was that part of wedding vows?

The '65 served me well until I needed to drive it a lot. I got tired of hearing the old six drone along at 65 mph, its max cruising speed and those tiny brakes, the non powered steering, all the good old stuff.
After 5 years and 11k miles, it was traded for a '66 Ranchero, it was Fairlane based and was the last year for Falcon Rancheros. It had a hopped up 289, I terrorized two counties weekly with it for 3 years, sold recently to a tenacious person who chased me from Eureka all the way to Crescent City, they had cash for what I asked for it. My next one will be a touch newer, disc brakes, a/c, 351 or better.
