Antique saw thread

I think that's for auto oiling?
You're right about those carb nuts, there's little to no room in there for any spanner!

Makes sense. I had a better look and there's what looks like a flow control valve at the bar oil port.
Thanks.

When you bought a new Stihl in Australia back in the 60's and early 70's these fuel cans where part of the package, were they available in the US as well ?

thanks for the info. What should someone look for in the antique saw market that worth some effort?

Hard to tell. The odd and unusual are worth some cost and effort.

What is likely not would be the multitude of David Bradleys that are out there. O.T.O.H. a large collection of D-B can be amased for cheap.

In any event, breaking even would be my goal.

I found this in a shed. It survived hurricane sandy on long beach island nj. Its presumably still in that shed. Not siezed but I was drinking so it was no time for disassembly. The heaviest damned saw I ever held.

I got this D-B about a year ago. It had good compression and spark, so I thought I would clean it up a bit.

Outstanding job on the D-B Cliff another one to add to the museum
