I knew someone had bought it from him but didn't know who. I had seen it about the time he saw it. When he got it, he was proud of it but didn't want to run it cause it was new so to say. You got a very good special saw. Congrats.

Steve

Thank-you, Steve.
I had passed my Poulan 4200 off to a friend and commented that I wanted a 5200. That same day, Kensie offered up the 5.2. He got a strong running MMWS 460 so he did ok. I figured how often is a NOS Craftsman 5.2 going to come around?

You can say that again, like a hens tooth. It's always good to see something like that go to someone that appreciates it. If you have a YouTube account, maybe you could post a vid of it cutting, that would be something to see a new one run. I just installed another oil pump on mine. Seal was not tight enough in it when I installed a new seal and it would leak. Installed the same seal in the other pump I had and it was a little bit tighter plus I added a little bit of sealant to it so I hope it doesn't leak. I'll find out next weekend when I go back to the farm.

I could make a video but it would be my first. Maybe after the holidays. They do have a nice sound to them.
I remember reading about you getting your 5200 going. I've had a few I struggled with but it's nice to finally get right.

My brother says he loves how mine sounds also, nice lop sound like a hitting cam.

Here's the saw I snookered Kensie out of. I thought this Cannon bar would suit it just right.

Nice saw Jeff, good to see another guy keeping the old saws alive.

That MS460 is a monster, I definitely think we were both happy with that deal, that is one strong good running saw with arm breaking compression too

It was a win/win deal. That 460 bites hard even with the de-comp.

Isnt that the truth, I talked to Randy about it and he said that saw was from when he was trying to squeeze as much compression out of them as possible, he said he has toned them down a bit in his old age cause its getting harder to pull them like that lol pretty sure that saw has over 200#s of compression

How was everyone's Christmas? Hopefully no in-laws were harmed in the process!

The bar is worth the c-note.

Well Happy New Year's all, I'm new to the site and to the vintage saw game but I think I have a decent start. Picked up all three from a "local" Craigslist ad for $50. I think I made out like a bandit.
Mid 50s David Bradley (SN tag missing)
Mid 50s Lombard
McColloch G70
Not sure yet how much work they need but was told at least the Bradley and the G70 run. They definitely need some love.

Welcome aboard, I'd say that Mac is almost as long as your trimmer.
