Picked up 2 cylinders of Mercury, quite heavy!!

Those are cool. What year do you think?

 

I think they only made them from 1950-53 ish.....
I don't know other than that.

 

Love those old saws. Someone took very good care of them

 

Big chunk of money back then. People used to have more respect for stuff.

 

Nice find how does it run is it easy to control?

 

I haven't tried running it yet, only had it a week or so.
Supposed to run fine though or so I'm told.
Not sure about easy to control but it's sure a pita to move around.

 

Screwloose that is a nice looking saw it looks like everything is there for it to. Does that saw have the helper handle ?
Can you look the motor over and see if the tag that tells the mix ratio is ?
thank you

 

Sorry, I just saw this now. I'll take a look and get back to you. I also got a reprint of the owners manual and parts manual if you have any other questions.

 

I ask because there is another thread here when we got into old saw I said if I remember the old McCulloch chainsaw I think called for 20:1 mix and that was with 30wt oil
Found the tread
Is it OK to run 50:1 mix in Chinese saw?it’s was me and high beam talking about the old mix ratio

 

here you go.
Yes It has the helper handle.

 

Pics of you and Mrs. Screwloose using it or it didn't happen!

 

All my vintage Remington saws read 16:1

 

Thank you

 

It'll have to be didn't happen! That would be a cold day in.........

 

Your quite welcome.

 

This looks like a two person saw, right?One to run the controls and angle, the other to hold the dangerous end and aim?

 

Pretty much!

 

I know it's slow and nowhere near the cutting ability as current saws, but back then 9 hp was a game changer.

 

That is true I saw a old 2 person McCulloch cutting and they are slow but for the technology back then it’s really cool
