    The 750 is a saw most guys run a large bar on and not a bow ( 112cc ;) ). Not sure why this one had a bow on in but I've got a few nice NOS homie bars that will fit that saw nicely :saw:

    They are designed for bucking wood. The bow keeps the bar from getting pinched.

    Great find!
    750s are quite sought after. I've been looking for a good one for years. Never seen a saw that big with a bow. Put a regular bar on it and let that monster eat some wood! :saw:

    Never seen a bow on a 750 (or a 650). Odd that the guard is on the bottom of the bow. If you are interested in parting with the bow I have a 550 that would like to have it.

    It has mounting holes for the upper guard, it's just missing. I certainly wouldn't want to run that thing without a guard :bug:. Will let you know if i don't put the bow on another saw.

    Nice score. I hate to be a wet blanket..........................................but that's not a 650 or 750. It's a 450 or 550. Still a great old saw.
