Web site has been the same for ages, minus adding a new saw now and then.

On tapatalk go into your profile, then settings and youll see signature and you can turn it off. All good Steve, I know I got my head bit off in the past for it and had no clue it was there myself. Lol but I am gonna go to bed with that sig repeating in my brain because I read it a thousand times already lol

I believe the boat motor is a Johnson td-20. My favorite--They just keep going-------David--Made 1946-49--2cyl water cooled 5hp--6 ounces of oil to a gallon of gas--foot takes Lubriplate 105 grease-- no F-N-R crank and its in gear turn motor backwards for reverse. Has a shelac covered cork float in carb. Prop uses a soft shear pin. Original pull cord made up of a fine braided bronze wire with cloth covering. cast iron sleeved engine.Dad bought 1 used when I was a baby--that was 55 years ago and its still reliable as ever----The one that got me into the old outboard hobby!!

Got to make the upper and lower guards for it, don't feel safe without them. Had a close call twenty five years ago with my dads, chain guard was short on the bottom of his and like a dummy I had rested the saw on my leg. Well the saw started to die and I goosed the throttle and the chain grabbed my pants by the leg through a spot where the guard didn't cover. Was a close call, I'll make these like the ones Stihl used. My son in law's dad has two Stihl bow saws he uses, may have to get a picture of them and post them up.

Steve, I was not offended and I was definitely not trying to be an arse about it myself either. I was just pointing out the sig and how it read as part of all your posts.

 

[s sidewall]

I understand.

I don't have internet at home, just my phone and using the web site on my phone is slow.

Hang out in here sometimes, it gets chatty some nights.

Sorry I pointed it out lol. I always read your posts and replies and as I read quickly to try to cover the entire thread I have read that sig a million times automatically. Lol

 

[s sidewall]

Lol, I've never noticed, I just read, process and keep going, guess cause I've seen it so much I just don't pay it any attention any more.

I wish I could contribute to the vintage saw chat but the oldest saw I have is a little Poulan 2000 with a 12" bar that I use a my bush remover and I know that barely qualifies as a chain saw

Those are good little saws, I love the ones I have, good trim saws, oiling parts are hard to come by unless you rebuild it yourself. Don't let not have a 50 year old saw from not chatting, don't think the guys would mind.

I actually love that saw. The simplicity/size/weight of it may be its best attributes. I laugh everytime I use it because at how well it work.

They are simple, easy to work on also. I have an old Sears 2.3 av model I got new in the early 80's, my first saw. Same as a Poulan 2300av, she's my shelve queen cause of a p/c, has some scoring but will still run. Guess one day I'll track down a p/c for her and replace the crank seals. Parts are getting hard to find unless used.

There was a guy selling replated cylinders for them. He sold a 2300 cylinder for $25 shipped. I don’t know if he’ll find anymore

I wasn’t aware, craftsman sold a version of the 2300. The only ones I’ve seen were the S25cva versions and the rebadged 2000s
