what happened to a saw

[Dennis Cahoon]

ehp, 15, 16, and 17 tooth 1/2" on the 500's. Are Rudy's the solid paddle wheel spline type?, if so I have a 11, and 12 tooth 3/8's. Also, I have a 13 tooth 1/2" with no spline, that I got off a saw I bought from Allan Thompson, from R.I. If these are the one's Rudy makes, I really like them! No bind, very smooth. I got mine from Benny Whittfield along time ago, but he didn't make them. I think the one's I have are Rudy's. Is Benny still around Ed? He is quite the character!

i think Rudy's are what ever you want . he will build anything
the ones he has built for guys that i have worked on have been good no trouble with them
he builds the rotax style with the carbide insert in the middle
if you get him to drill ever tooth and put a allen screw in each tooth we have never broke them
the ones that are ever other tooth you seem to break the tooth that has no screw threw them
if you jump a chain it is almost for sure you broke the carbide insert on the ones that are ever other tooth

Yes Benny is still around
he quite for a year , tried to build saws for guys and it didnot work out for him
he is still running his 111 with a stroker crank and a 34mm carb like the rotax's carb just smaller he says it is real fast but we have not seen that yet but it does like to break crankshaft's
glad he is paying for them and not me
he will be at Webster forsure
last year he got them at Webster to add a 0-5cu class with muffler because he though he would whip everyone there
well just say that didnot happen
we wanted a open muffler class but they said they seen to many video's from up here for that to happen
