I remembered to get a pic! I was cutting up a blow-down Digger pine today with my brother's 2101, right up until the tensioner screw broke. Yet another saw that'll have to hit the bench....

Pulled this old beast out to freehand a little piece of koa. Don't run this nearly enough.

A dinosaur and a chainbrake in the same sentence, now that is weird...LOL

What's a chain brake? I never start a saw with the brake set. Old school. I know. I drop start all my saws as well. Evil that I am. OSHA take note!

 

[windthrown]

Well I guess this qualifies and we probably all have one or at least, had one.View attachment 887102

Oooh, that is my dad's Homelite saw in far better condition. Blue even. 'Perty. He gave me a chain sharpening file kit when I was about 8 and said, "Figure out how to sharpen the saw". So I did.

How about a couple of Jonsered 920's and a L77 Cameo

I have a few old green saws myself that I run from time to time. Modified Mark gave me this saw a while back, i was shocked to say the least! Also have a video of that day, which I just watched for the first time in years, put a tear in my eye, for more than one reason.

I remember reading about that but that's the first time I've seen the video. Fine group of gentlemen there.

Apologies as a newbie here and not literate enough for pictures ....
Mine is a Husky 162 that replaced a McCulloch Super Pro 81 in the early 90s, I'm trying to date it but no luck yet. Is there a particular place to go here to find some info? The Husky is still a powerhouse and starts with 2 or 3 pulls, I always run Stabil in it 'cause sometimes it's a while between uses.
Started out ( 1950s) with a 3-25 McCulloch, to a Pioneer then some XL-12s and super XL-12s ....
