Hmmm...it's about time the vintage chainsaw collectors get fed. I promise 750 prime cuts, but for now this is all I have to offer. Look at the ridiculous size difference guys!

Wow

I have a spot for that 750 whenever you get bored with it

 

[happysaws]

Look what found me today. Its called " the rocket line" kinda neat runs on a prime. I dont know anything about it lolView attachment 570325

Likely made by the "Mono Line"...

I thought that, but it seems kinda small to be a power products engine i think

That is a Power Products.. AH47 or AH480. 77cc

 

[astnmacgto]

Did somebody ask for big inches?

 

[happysaws]

If it has the removable head (looks like it does) then it's an AH480.

 

[Boomer 87]

Ill have to look closer at it.

I see your page says you have a landcaster. I have a small top handle landcaster, i think you need it. Lol

If you don't get excited hearing model numbers like 750, 090, 797, you got problems. That Homie looks like a blast to run, alebit a little on the heavy side but... It's a Homelite so everything's all good. P.s. nice lawn dart set you got under the table. Such a timeless family game. haha

So I see a lot of talk about the West Bend engines, can someone enlighten me?

I see a lot about the big AH series engines as well, and from what I gathered there is they were capable of being highly modified because of the removable head because they were go-kart engines?

And the 101B engines, were the manufactured by McCulloch or some other company? I know why they are so special, I see a lot more talk about them than anything else.

I'm still learning a lot so I would like to be educated on the subject so I understand the value and speciality of the saws I come across with those engines.

From what I understand,
West Bend, Power Products, and McCulloch all made "go-kart" engines. These engines (West Bend/ Power Products) were used in old chainsaws.

I do not believe the AH-58, AH-81/2 or the US820 engines had removable heads (at least mine don't) but they were still highly modifiable.

McCulloch Motors Corp did make the 101 engines and all their other kart engines. Some of them have removable heads, making them easy to modify. I do not believe McCulloch ever made factory kart motor chainsaws...(except for maybe a few prototypes or special orders...)

Many people bought up the old chainsaws that had West Bend and Power Products engines to take the engines out and turn them into go-karts. That's what makes them so desirable.

Saws with these engines (W.B./P.P.) can be modified into hot saws, (I see more West Bend hotsaws than P.P. hotsaws...) because manufacturers made accessories (crank stuffers, V12 reed intakes, GEM mufflers, velocity stacks, etc...) to help give them more "power"/speed.
McCulloch 101's really don't need to be modified to make a good hotsaw... They're already crazy fast.[emoji16]

Hope this helps!
(hope I got it all correct, too.[emoji6])

I learned a bunch I didn't already know so you helped me! And if someone has something else to add I hope they will! Maybe we will all learn something lol!
