I picked up a pickup bed full of saws and a few trimmers and edgers a while back for $125. I’ve been resurrecting some of them but there were a few really old ones in the lot that I figured I would just display in my shop. There was a David Bradley, a Sears, and a Wright with a reciprocal sort of “bar” on it. Those were easy to find information about them. However, the Titan 50 in the pics has been harder to find info about. It has a plate that says it was made in Seattle by Titan Chain Saws, Inc.
A bit of searching on those internets makes me think it might be difficult to find parts for. Apparently Mcculloch has a model called a Titan 50 which dominates the search results.
I did find a site that listed other saws by this company but not the “50”.
It appears to be 100% complete and it is not seized. I may end up just sticking it back on the shelf for now but I’m sure that at some point I will feel compelled to get it running. Is the outlook for getting parts as grim as it appears or is there a source that I’m not aware of? Is it rare or am I just not a very good researcher?
