What a collection, some of those "dead" Homelites look like big displacement saws.
Words like ‘organized’ and ‘impressive’ do not seem adequate.At the top of this page I promised Philbert some photos, better late than never.
The various bags of chain parts spread out, this represents about 80% of the part numbers we put in order today.

Depending on the number and type of items, some would fit in the smaller bags and black bins and some needed to go in the bigger blue bins. The repair kits (individual poly bags with presets, drive links, cutters, and tie straps) take up a lot of space. Items like 10 packs of presets and tie straps could be opened up and the contents consolidated.

We did a little checking to make sure there would be room enough for everything.

Everything actually fit quite nicely. I don't know how many pre-packaged "repair kits" for 3/8 Lo Pro are in the big bag but there didn't seem to be any better way to fit them in.

I already had this small parts organizer mostly filled with parts from 1/4" pitch through some 9/16 and 5/8, and the three small parts organizers in the cabinet with a variety of 1/4" through 1/2" McCulloch chain parts.

For the record there are at least three, and maybe four or even five variations in McCulloch 1/2" pitch chain alone. It does get confusing at times.
I even found a few scratcher type LH cutters in .354 pitch. I will try to include a some in the chain & sprocket display I am slowly assembling.

My father in law has a drill similar to the Titan but I think it is a Stihl.He worked for the power company for 38 years . I think he used it for boring light poles to hang the crossbars. The earth auger looks cool ! Be Safe!A few additional items moved into the display.
Titan drill next to the Cox Beaver.

Earth drill A.K.A. earth auger. I was running the saw in the morning, added the gearbox in the afternoon.

That makes perfect sense. But at the same time ironic: that the electric company used gas powered drills! I guess it would be like gasoline companies using electric pumps!I think he used it for boring light poles to hang the crossbars.
I wonder how many guys burned the tar out of the back of their leg with that brush cutter?View attachment 1034265
I have the brush cutter on hand, need to get it cleaned up for the display.
