A few new pickn saws NEW SAW ADDED

[fishnwiz]

Anyone know anything about this particular saw I purchased for 8 dollars today while pickn???? I know the engine was build by Power Products of Grafton Wi...which later became Lausten and then Techumseh. Barker saws was out of Springfield Mo. Near as I can tell this is a 62 model Barker 100.It does run but is LOUD!!

Added another saw today...I have issues! I could NOT resist 75.0030" Bar gear drive good condition! WHAT A BEAST!!}

Mark,

That looks a bit on the heavy side. $8 for a working saw, can't complain!

2, or 4 cycle? engine.

You weren't kidding when you said a bit on the heavy side! It has to be all of 30lbs.

This is a 2 cycle saw.

Nice old saw. Check with the guys on The arboristsite forum. They might have some info on that saw. It is a rare bird for sure.

[fishnwiz]

Thanks Jim.

I did find a little info on it at that site. I was wondering if anyone ever owned one of these?

[GrincheyOne]

Mark,

If I had one of those, I'd build a mini bike around it!

Was already leaning that way..Great minds think alike!

The sears looks to be a 2 man saw. What a monster!

[dhoadley]

that blue one looks like a saw that won't take "No" for an answer!

[fishnwiz]

I don't know how a guy could use one of these monster gear driven saws all day in the woods. I was tired from carrying it to my truck!XX(

Some where in the neighborhood of 50 years ago, I owned a Homelite 5-21

gear drive saw. I cut a bunch of firewood and pulp wood for Hammermill Paper with that old saw. I don't know what it weighed full of oil & fuel, but it was heavy. The alternative was a one man cross cut.

I blew the gears one very cold morning on a big frozen oak tree. I traded for a new Homelite C-5 which seemed to be a light saw in comparison to the 5-21. I still have the C-5 and it still runs. Somehow

the C-5 has gained a bunch of weight, also. The point is, the older we get, the smaller and lighter our saws and guns become.

You are correct sir!

It sucks getting old!XX(

Mark,

My Pro Mac 610, w/ 24"" bar, weighs in at 20#

My Remington 14" electric is only 6#

Guess which one I use on a daily basis?

[fishnwiz]

If my ears are not bleeding, I am not using a real saw!

Just kidding Wayne.

I will most likely will ever use the 30" bar Bradley myself but would sure love to see a real man take out a big tree with it!

I just can't help myself when it comes to older motorized items!..I have a problem!

[JimDk]

Saws are not a problem. I have 6 in one metal cabinet. Try that with tractors. I have CAD ( chainsaw acqusition disorder ). There, I admitted it. Is that the first step to a cure?

[fishnwiz]

Then I guess I shouldn't be talking to you Jim Must stay clear of the temptations! |)

[JimDk]

Your bleeding ears statement above explains why I am hearing challenged. Those old saws are LOUD. I got a couple of Homelite XL-12's

at a tractor show flea mkt. and built one from the 2. Yep, it's loud.

I will try to keep from tempting you. I only have a mild case of CAD. Some of the serious collectors on the Arborist site have over 100 running saws. I only have the 6 + a couple of wall hangers ( old Pioneer 450 and a Homelite Zip ). I do have a few parts saws sitting around.

[fishnwiz]

I also own a Zipp.

I refuse to answer how many saws (Not in triple digits yet!) I have on the grounds that my girl might find out!

I refuse to go to the Arborist site....it would be like a recovering alcoholic going into a liquor store!

[JimDk]

Mark,

I hate be the bearer of bad news, but I think you may have CAD.

Like I tell my wife, I'm not collecting girlfriends or Corvettes. Sometimes that line works and other times it doesn't, and I never can predict which! Dave

[fishnwiz]

Good answer! I will give that one a try.
