Old Friend
2
An old friend was dropped off today to die but I think after pulling the old cord and seeing it has compression may clean her up this fall and get her going
Cannot even believe this was my go to saw for years I think it was my dads and I gave it away must be over 25 years ago when I moved here and stopped cutting any wood and the guy that took it was tossing it and called to see if I wanted it back I did fix it a few times for him however over those years so has not been sitting real long
I can hardly lift it in a cutting position since it weights 30 pounds with no fuel and cannot imagine I cut trees with it. Man I am getting old
It is a one year only 1954 McCulloch 4-30A

I am guessing it was about 8 years ago I last worked on it and it was running then and he said it should be fine since he thinks it was only used 2 days after
An interesting fall job for me I think after garlic harvest if that happens this year

You old farts would remember theses also I bet Like an idiot I tossed the old mans when I moved here could not see me using it for anything . He used it for cutting ice fishing and they were early 60's No chain just a bar that went back and forth

That's a new one for me, but I'm still in my prime
I think it might have been more of a local thing since in those days so many fished through the ice here There were a lot of them at one time for thatThat's a new one for me, but I'm still in my prime
Just a guess maybe like this one and not mine. The 1200 was the common one here in the 60's they were bullet proof and as you say pure bastards to start but work all day when they did The pine mans is 60's too I think but may be wrong
Yep very cool saw thanks for sharing found it here lots of data on it and thank god 17 pounds lighter

Another good one
Yep I would say you nailed it I remember my grandmothers house in fact here the entire street never even had power until I was maybe 10 and she had a ice box like this in the porch and the ice man she called him would bring blocks of ice just like a milk man would bring mild later on and her street was one of a few here and yep this guy had a horse and wagon
