91 is back together (one is for parts)

The 91 is back together waiting for the additional parts, they should be here tomorrow.

It went together pretty good, used the tie strap and my 5 year old son to hold the end cap up so i could get the rod on.

The other 91 is parts only since it has a broken crank and the piston and cylinder is toast.
 
I forced myself to stop and take pictures this year. Been to enough of these to know what people are interesting in looking back at.

Brad and Andre getting the Alpina 90 ready. Yes, that is a shop rag doubling as an air filter.


Gary and Tim (fossil) sharpening a Poulan. Is this when Tim cut himself?


Al Smith and Jim (w8ye) relaxing and chatting. The haze is smoke from the fire that was kept up all day.

Great pics Chris. Yep, that's after I cut myself. I see I'm wearing a glove. I usually put one on to stop the bleeding after I cut myself.
I'm thinking there may be something wrong in the order of that thinking though.
 
Here's my version. I'm at a wedding. Before I left, I was working on the vids. I don't know if I'll get back to them tonight or not.

More saws.

The Poulan guys don't mind so much when some culls show up either.

Seems like my 71-A has pretty much been the first saw run at the GTG the last year or so, So I asked Gregg to take the honors this year and do the first big cut of the show with it.

Here is about how far he made it before it run out of gas.. . :bang: I knew I forgot something.. :laugh:

Gary was the only one it seems who didn't cut himself open while sharpening his chain.

Chris and I thought that since Wright ended up being bought by Poulan and were part of there history that it would be fitting to bring a few Wright saws along this time. Here is his nice C-70. He also had on hand his S-50G and I had my Wright 100 blade saw along.

Johns a stout guy and he couldn't slow that gear drive down any. That thing pulls like a Mack truck..

Mark cutting with his 92cc sand cast gear drive. This geezer can't remember the model number. It was impressive.




Here's a vid of Mark's really neat Wright (Poulan) blade saw. That saw cut the end of that log is as smooth as a baby's bum.



Nik trying out a Homelite VI922. Notice that non Poulans had to cut on the backside of the log.



Chris and John cutting with Chris' monster two man cookie hurler.
