I was referring to Wild Black Cherry … never burned the real stuff!
This has also got my interest too, what’s the energy source, what’s the brand / link.I dig those old saws for some reason. Just hearing one idle, there's not much in those old mufflers. I've had a couple homelites and a pioneer. Used ones come up all the time for cheap but I never see a big displacement saw. If I ever do I'll be all over it!
Ok, ecofan report. First let me explain my stove. It has a false cast iron top with an airspace beneath and side covers. The way the squirrel cage blower fan works is to move air through that space around the sides, up over top and out the front. It really hoofs out the heat with little noise. I have run it without the fan and also during power outages. It will convect the heat but doesn't seem to put out anywhere near as much as it does with the blower fan running. Last night I started a fire in the cold stove and placed the ecofan on top right in front of the pipe. After about 15 minutes, the fan started to turn, by half an hour, the stove was hot enough for the fan to spin at a good clip. I resisted the urge to stick my finger in it. Lol. Standing about 8 ft away I could feel the warm air hitting my face. I was surprised at how well it was moving the heat. I think I'm going to use it instead of the factory blower definitely for the shoulder seasons. It is silent and makes its own electricity. I would recommend one especially if your stove doesn't have a blower on it.

Ok. They are assembled here. Lol. Caframo ecofan. They have a website. The heat generates the electricity.This has also got my interest too, what’s the energy source, what’s the brand / link.
And finally what it’s actually made in Canada, don’t you guys just dig holes like us, sell minerals and import it all back as cars and phones like us.
Those are a dime a dozen and if you should have issues, they usually only have one of two problems: either they need a carb kit or the duckbill valve went bad and the oil backs up into the crankcase.Got it for $20 today. From a guy I work with. says it runs, he better not be lying because I work with him[emoji23][emoji23]

If you need more bars or want a longer bar I would be happy to send you one for the cost of shipping.
The one annoying thing about the little Homies is that they do not use the same DL chain as the other common saws so you need specific chains to run them.

It reminds me of an 026 or 036 setup.The air filter and carb setup on old saw are strange sometimes.

Old saws get no respect. My cousin was at an auction, he knows the auctioneer. They had a Homelite C5 and 330. They couldn't get a bid. The auctioneer said "SOLD, to Tommy" for $1.He gave them to me, and I gave the C5 to a friend. He tinkered with it for a few minutes and had it running. He bought a 30" bar for it and uses it for milling. I figured I messed up giving that one away so I bought a C51 and a C72 for $5 each at another auction. The C72 was locked up, so I soaked it in 50/50 acetone and ATF for a couple weeks and it broke loose. Put the comp gauge on it and it's blowing 135 PSI. I put this 45" bar on it for a photo op, because all of my Super 1050's were on the top shelf. I just bought another 1050 for $40, so the big bar will go on it.
I have a Jotul insert. It's a nice stove, but I liked my old Russo better. It's comparing apples to oranges though. My old stove was an insert also, but about 12"s stuck out on the hearth, so you had all that hot steel in the room. The Jotul sits flush to the opening, so all of the steel is in the fireplace. The old Russo was a cat stove with a much bigger firebox. I could pack it full and get a 12 hour burn. The new Jotul, I can't get near as much wood in it, and I'm lucky to get a 5 hour burn. But, the Jotul is much prettier, so the wife likes it.Thanks for that rarefish, I've always wondered how well they would actually move the air around (never seen one in action or know of anyone here using one) they are quite expensive here compared to a cheap pedistal fan (costs around $12 for those compared to a few $100 for some of the eco fans I've seen) hence my reluctance to even bother buying and trying a eco fan, plus I figure I can use the pedistal fan in summer too.
What sort of heater are you running? I've got the Lopi 380 I think it's called (similar to the Endevour from my understanding just not as modern with it's eco friendliness with all it's tubes etc for burning off unburnt smoke etc but it's not the smoking dragon as some call them, I guess it depends on the types of wood one burns as to whether a fire is a smoking dragon or not hey.
Those saws are rippers and a bargain too.
Cheers mate
These saws were about as close to "cheapy" as things got back then. Still mostly metal, but things were changing. I have my wife's grandfather's Mighty Mite Deluxe and it was my first 'rebuild' of a saw. I also have a parts saw I picked up for $15 shipped, and they help illustrate the "value engineering" that happened over time. One recoil is metal, the other plastic. One has a plain metal handle, one's padded with rubber, etc. The next generation of "Mighty Mite" saws (100,200,300) were much worse, mostly plastic.There were no ‘cheapy’ saws back then.
