Bone shaker and your fillings better be in top shape..

Looks like an interesting project. Is yours prior to 1969 & the 48cc or post 1969 & 56cc?
Man, that's a funky looking saw. Love to hear that running!
WTG!

I believe it is the 56cc version, I'll get more details as I unearth the ancient manuscript engraved in the cover.
Who knew it'd be an archeological expedition also!

Thickly padded gloves will come in handy.

No doubt!

Aren't the tips of these bars removable?

If you drill out the rivets that hold the nose sprocket to the bar.

This chain is pretty mean too.

Imagine when it's all nice & clean, lubed, running... that'll be a good feeling.

Looks like the rakers/depth guides were lowered a LOT... or just camera angle perhaps.

It looks like they were lowered a lot



Check out the cover, looks like it's from a whole different saw, and there's a part number! (Last few pics)

Looks like a later model due to the name plates. Mine uses .404 chain. I have some extra loops but need to count the drivers.
It always had lots of torque but was heavy and as already said, lots of vibes. It uses a governor system on the throttle.

Very nice condition, I got mine when cleaning out a storeroom from a dealer closeout. Saw was never fired but had a couple parts robbed off it, muffler and chaincover/oil pump reservoir. Replaced the parts but still never fired it.

What an amazing restoration. Beautiful looking saw.
