Check out @redbull660 over at chainsaw parts.....very good price on chains....Found a good deal on a 24” bar so I ordered it. Have 3-4 trees that are well over 20” that I want to take down so this will make the felling cuts significantly easier. Now just need to find a couple of reasonably priced chains.
That mall looks similar to my introduction to chainsaws. 1953 working for a farmer. He decided to fall a big dead tamarach for fenceposts. Put me on the outboard helper handle - 4' bar. Undercut nice, started back cut and the bottom of the tree and stump just shattered. I was 100 ft away and gaining speed when it hit the ground. Came back and that old mall was laying there going 'put, put',put' but the bar had an almost perfect 90 degree bend. All I remember about the model was a 2cyl and that may not even be right.
@turnkey4099 The guy that owns those Mall saws travels to different places and actually runs them. He has one saw that he uses an outboard motor to start. He has a motor on a wooden box and uses a belt between that motor and the saw to get the saw started. The chain does run rather slow on them compared to a modern chain saw.Now that is a collection!! My rememberer is vague at this late date but I think it was a 2cyl opposed.
Gonna give that 590 and Dolkita a work out.Next scrounge lined up. I start Tuesday. View attachment 670826 View attachment 670827 View attachment 670828 Theres 10 standing dead red oaks on the property beside it that are coming down also.
They have a pair of 590s with 4 years tree service abuse on them. Stone stock down to the limiters still running strong even though they look like they get dragged behind the truck.Gonna give that 590 and Dolkita a work out.
Shame Echo makes an inferior saw.They have a pair of 590s with 4 years tree service abuse on them. Stone stock down to the limiters still running strong even though they look like they get dragged behind the truck.
Just be sure to paint it orange.If it's got a sharp chain I don't care what names on the side. Theres a poulan wood shark at my brothers house that would keep my house heated no problem if my other saws disappeared.
Then put a Husqvarna sticker on it.Just be sure to paint it orange.
