I did not see the show, however I DO KNOW that they could not figure out how to get the engine to work and hired our beloved Chainsaw Collector Brian Gillman to rebuild the engine and get the saw running for them!!! I hope they at least mentioned him without taking all of the credit! It sure is a shame that they turned that yellow beauty into a "Mall" so to speak. The owner must not have liked it as the saw is currently on ebay listed with a starting bid of $4900. That is more than 10x what the saw is actually worth!!!
Antique Two Man Chain Saw Restored by Ricks Restoration | eBay
It is a very sad world when people believe that these fools actually restore equipment!
A lot of my friends ask me if I watch the show, or enjoy it, and I can always pinpoint EXACTLY what they screwed up, changed or ####ered up! There is a reason enthusiasts machine parts and restore their own equipment, because more times than not it is done right rather than wrong!!!!!
