Dad had an old Jacobson push mower when I was a kid. Odd thing of it was the blade. Otherwise it was just an ordinary 4 stroke mower.

Never figured out if the blade was add-on or original. It was a disc with 4 triangle sickle like blades on it.

It was great for over grown areas and gopher mounds. The disc was like a flywheel and that sucker was hard to stop.

It got abused for sure. Eventually snapped a rod or crank. Don't remember the make of the engine but we put a Tecumseh on it but it was never as strong as the original.

Ok, so I have a hard one for you guys, what's your favorite vintage chainsaw, pre 1980 aaaand go!

Mine is the Super XL 925, just can't beat it. It's got style and power, only deficiency is no antivibe, ohh and overheating lol

Nice one, I've got one of those, though in much rougher shape. You'll like the light weight magnesium deck and power of that mower. Much lighter than a new aluminum deck four stroke model. Mine has the much appreciated chainbrake.

I like my Poulan 3700 bow, when I'm done with the 5200, my story my change. I still have a sweet spot for my red craftsman/poulan 2300 av, that was the first saw I bought and it was new.

Pretty happy with my current '3+ saw plan', but if I ran across a reasonable bow at an estate sale, I would probably have to bring it home.

Got to give the nod to the Jonsered 52 heavy compared to some but some anti-vibe. Might replace it with a modern 50cc someday but no rush yet.

 

[Boomer 87]

Poulan 4200

 

[Boomer 87]

not pre 80 i dont think, but check this out anyway lol

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Since everyone is posting big saws pics here is mine... Hopefully the saw end will be replaced with a BB 6401 Makita sometime soon.

Remington PL-55.
Same displacement/power as the 925, all while being somewhere over two pounds lighter than the 925.

Here lately my favorite is the Jonsered 621--super engineered and great to cut with-All homes should have 1 but I have 3 LOL---David

HOE was a USA importer for Partner saws back in the late 50's early 60's, not a lot of info available on the importer but the Partner R11 was common enough at least in Europe. The first R11 had a straight rear handle with a thumb throttle like this one the later version has a more standard trigger throttle and curved handle. For this early version HOE had just simple water slide decals for I.D and then later had stamped aluminum name plates made up that were pop riveted onto the starter housing and clutch cover.

I found this saw languishing in an old van with most of the windows gone sitting in a field in Iowa at a small engine repair, it had been there for a good while. Some how it escaped serious corrosion and rust and is now a good runner. These are high compression engines and I expect a hot-rod saw in it's day. The oil pump drives off of the end of the crank (flywheel nut) and the coupler was missing on this saw, I made one up from a 13mm socket and siliconed it onto the flywheel nut to drive the pump. With 90cc displacement and high compression it takes a commitment to get it going, but with the overbuilt Bosch ignition (throws a really hot spark) it starts easy once it is fueled.

This one came with a 18" bar and 8 tooth sprocket with .404 63g chain, dry weight for compete power head less bar and chain is 19-1/4 pounds.

621 was ahead of its time, filtration wasn't the best but it was a solid saw with decent antivibe in the early 70's

Dang, now that's what I call a limbing saw there, you can trim the lower tree limbs with that bar. Gee man, that's just sick. I don't have but one tree trunk I could use that on. Over 6' at the base.
