Ok, here's a theoretical question for y'all - If you could bring any one vintage saw back into modern production what would it be, and why?

I would have to say the McCulloch PM700, because it seems to have the best power to weight ratio of most saws I've picked up.

I would also say the XL-700 gives it a run for its money because it's 77cc and right at 14lbs pho, but since I haven't run it yet I can't vouch for it yet.

He is another good one, which Chainsaw had the best sounding exhaust stock, vintage or new.

I vote the McCulloch 10 series on up had hands down the best sound, one of the most disting sounds, you can definitely pick it out lol

Hi there , I'm gonna build one 051 from this junkpile ; guy was saying there is everything to rebuild one but it's missing a carburetor and some other parts ... But for 40 euros I won't be crying I found a ts510 for the parts missing . I have to clean all these parts to see what I really have , one crank is broken and there are all models ; old one , electronic and maybe middle production

Man I would love to have a basket case 051 to put back together! It's like a big kid puzzle lol

Saw I want to bring back would be one of the Pro Mac 10-10 series. (Also cause I want one). Best sounding one, probably one of the newer Homelite 350, 360, 750...Class saws. I'm not too picky on what they sound like. Any saw running is music to my ears, much unlike a majority of the stuff on the radio nowadays.

Now that will be a good project!

So far in my hands best sounding saw is a Stihl 041. It's a deep roar.

Interesting the flywheel nut is left hand threaded, that's a new one on me. I though all of the flywheel nuts were right hand threads.

Best felling saw but mine runs a 36 inch bar or a 42 inch 7 tooth rim and full chisel
Now the 3700 is always on the truck

My neighbor brought this too me, found it in his barn and he says that it's been "at least 30 years" since he's even touched it. He forgot he had it until they moved some stuff around and there it was. Anyone know anything about them? It seems like the bar is huge for this size saw. I think this thing is too far gone to revive so it may hang above the shop door as decor lol...

3.7 cubic inches, somewhere around 60cc's. They can pull up to a 24" bar. 20" was usually the standard length they came with.

I have it in blue with original roller bar. Runs too just has crack in fuel tank. Cool little saw

 

[Reilly]

Wow, now if mine was that clean I'd have no hesitation restoring it. Nice saw man!

Love the look of those round roller bars! Automatically adds 100+ cool points to a vintage saw!

Thanks! Got it free from a local guy who wanted it to be appreciated.

It has some wear from prior use but that makes it all the better.
