Frankensaw, 044 with an MS fuel tank, Husky bar nut, what a shame. Needs a little love but it’s worth it.

Cleaned it up, two Stihl nuts, new air filter, tuned a touch, sharpened the chain, dressed the bar, new flippy cap, few muffler bolts, new rim, and it's ready for more battle!

I am used to seeing saws like that, rode hard and put away wet, roughshod , left outside full time, bouncing about amongst a ton of other tools/junk while bouncing all over really rough backwoods logging roads. Seen saws sitting in 3-4" of water when the boxliners first came out, who woulda thought those box liners would hold water with the truck parked facing downhill. Also had a few saws brought in that had been fully submerged plus all types of two stroke wackers,trimmers, brush saws etc, electric hand tools all heavily water logged. Box liners now get several holes drilled in them,headboard end before install now....LOL

Most production saws are treated poorly. Brand makes no difference... consumable tool like anything else to the laborers.

Many machine tools too.
Some guys don't care if they crash a machine.
Norm(the day guy) and I are brutal to folks who misuse "OUR" lathe and its tooling.

They dare touch YOUR machine and tools? Messing with death aren't they?

The cross slide has only been rescraped since the 60s ........no other rework except drive nuts and screws......an incredible machine ......it gets tweaked and it's hard to hold .0005

We treat it as ours. Lol. A LOT of custom tooling and cutters. That we make. When you make some repair parts that fog back 90 years. You need tooling.

.007 over on the first boring cut of the day on one head. .005 on the other.
First pass only.

We are intimate with the machine.
