I've got an old mercury two man,twin cylinder has a distributor like a car.
had the old girl running about a year ago,chain turns slow as hell but you can't stop it.
it actually cuts pretty fast if you and your helper can stand the 40lbs weight!
 
Homelite 26LCS (covered in silver spray paint:bang: )
Mac Super 44, Super 44a. (I think these are both old enough to apply.)
Stihl Lightning???

Old saws are fun.

I'v got 3 or 4 complete McC 3-25's, one is the 1949 "two knob" style.

Homies, I got 'em. 4-20, 5-20. 17/17A, old EZ's, etc....I just love the looks of them old green and red saws
 
I doubt I can remember them all but a ton of Disston 1 and 2 mans, Mac 1 mans, Mac 2 mans 12-25 and 5-49. quite a few Homelite 26LCS, a Hornet 2 man (date unknown), some older unkown saws. As for total numbers and model numbers it is too late at night to go looking.

Why would someone do this?

A bunch of middle age saws, Zip, SuperWiz, 700d Loudest saw on earth, etc.

Well, it happens when you're having a lousy day to begin with. And then you see a mouse running around your shed and throw a 16oz straight claw hammer at it. However, you miss and smash a can of silver spray paint covering some of your favorite saws--Homelite 26LCS, Mac kart saw, 066 RL, 044, 048, CP125, Jons 920. First and last saws got it the worst.

That was 5 months ago and I haven't got all the saws clean yet. I still get pissed when I see the mess I made. At least silver is easy to clean off. Hard enough to get it to stick when you want it to.

It's tough to maintain good trajectory with a claw-hammer. Ball-peens are a little better for flinging at mice and rats... if ya don't have a gat handy.:biggrinbounce2:
 
Eyolf, do you have pix of the 3-25 2-button posted up in here somewhere?

Nice R-P Craftsman, Dean. I got an R-P 50, which is missing some parts...
