Chainsaw Pics...

Dad bought it brand new way back mid to late 80's. He loaned it to a friend many years later who straight gassed it. I found an oem cylinder and put I believe a Golf piston in it. That missing badge bugged me so I found one on ebay to replace it. Wasn't an easy find either. I used an old printing plate and was going to get a vinyl decal till I found it.

 

That's a good looking old saw. Bet you and dad cut plenty with it.

 

I bought mine new in 1986. My first saw, still have it.

 

Here's my old 50.

 

Very nice. I thought about replacing the top cover but decided to keep dads riveted piece of aluminum. It’s character. If I ever happen to see a recoil badge, I’ll keep you in mind.

 

Thanks man.

 

Mine is a little older, it has a silver ID tag. The black tags started in 87, I believe . I have a black tag one that I got as a parts saw. I decided to get it running, I just couldn't help it, ya know. I put a used oem 55 cylinder and meteor piston in it. It runs good, a little stronger than my old one.

I have the super extra pee model. Lol

 

Just your average 78deg November firewood cutting day.

 

79 here in my neck of the woods. My saws don't like to be out in the heat.

 

I'm sweating looking at those logs. Not because of the heat. WO that big will likely be a little cantakerous when splitting.

 

Its been dead a while so hopefully not too bad. I have met some stubborn stringy white oak that was extra.

 

Cut a dandy white oak today.

 

Didn't cut that one.... unfortunately.



Interesting piece of crotch from the one I cut with the echo...

 

Bet that looks even better in person.

 

I'm getting wood looking at all this wood.
Can I play too? Here's one of my McCulloch Pro Mac 10-10S saws posing with a nice double- heartwood for ya.
