Montgomery ward saw

[farmguywithasaw]

I picked up this saw. All I did so far is clean the points. A lot of work left to do but it actually runs off of tank fuel. Sure can’t find much info on it? Anyone seen them. Anyone restored one. It’s missing a few things like the choke lever and such

Sears sold one just like it I think. Power Products AH47 engine. Maybe an early Roper?

I seen some pictures of a mono looked the same. The main problems with it is the choke leaver is missing, but should be able to make one easy enough. There is a gasket missing between the air box and manifold ( can see the fins). And the fuel line I assume is completely wrong. Have to figure that out. I’m debating on painting this one. I usually don’t paint them I like the patina but lately I’ve wanted to get into painting them properly.

There is one of them in evilbay now. Claims an AH58 engine.

The carb was used like forever on them.

Repair kit: Stens 520-312, Tecumseh 631893A

Now iffin you find a Wards with a WD 95, grab it. That’s 9.5” or 155cc. [emoji2960]

Bishops in Perry, Kansas has a couple restored examples in their vintage saw display.

This mono looks a lot like the saw I have.

Almost sounded like the pto seal is dry or a bit rough when you turned it pto up

Just the clutch bearing I think. I tuned the carb a bit it runs better but will be tore down to fix it up.

The flywheel housing looks more like an AH58 to me.

I was wrong on the large Wards. They used the monster West Bend engine.

WD90??

 

[heimannm]

I have a WD90 that used the H81 Tecumseh engine. 8.1 In3 / 134 cc.





Steve Melzer had another later model MW saw with the big West Bend engine, last time I saw it Cole Armbruster had it.

I wish I had kept the one I had... I cut a fair amount of wood with it, Not a lot of rpm, but torquey.
It looks like the fuel line is in the origional place. Mine would vapor lock very badly

Looking for any information I can get on the reed assembly for the same saw. I'm going to need a new one.

Turns out there is no reed assembly on this saw. What I thought was a oddball reed ended up being a weird 3 piece gasket. Once I made a new gasket it was able to get the saw running and cutting well.

WD99 used the WB 820 monster.
