Great grandfather's Mall model 6 in wood...

Here is a video of my great grandfathers model 6 Mall chainsaw in 28" beech at ericjeepers GTG...

He bought the saw new in the late 1940's...The last time it saw wood was probably 28-30 years ago...Thank god I don't have to run it all day...Those scratcher chains sure are fast...

I love the exhaust pipes on that thing, sounds good.

Nice vintage saw, Nice it's still in the family.
She's no speed demon but much better than
a hand saw.

Thanks for sharing.

That is sooooooooo cool.

The saw is phenomenal itself but with the history and good company to share the experience you just can beat it.

I was keeping my fingers crossed it would run once I got there and got it into a piece of wood...The only thing I had to do to get it running was clean the points...If It was not for AS and eric's GTG who knows if it ever would have been brought back to life...Thanks again, ericjeeper and AS for bringing a smile to my Grandma's face watching her fathers saw on youtube...

My buddy just picked up an old Mall that looks just like that. We tried getting her to run a few times but have yet to succeed. We'd been told by the previous owner that he'd run it about 15 years ago and it sat since then. We'll have to try cleaning the points and see where that gets us.

wow can you think of doing tree work with that boy o boy tom trees

Dude, you are more of a man than me if you can pull that thing 80' up a tree and then start it...Even if it is just for chits and grins...

i have don it with my 084 but that thing would kill you tom trees

Well I've never run one but I assume it would be better than the other saw (two man crosscut) they had back then.

As I recall I've heard that some of those old malls couldnt be turned on there side with out leaking gas all over the place due to the design of the carb. that would make life interesting up a tree, but then again I doubt the old timers were climbing with them either.

After seeing this vid I really need to get my grandfathers Mall down and get it running again. That was also a 2 man saw of about the same vintage, my grandma (shes about 5' tall if that) used to run the stinger end for grandpa back in the day cutting fire wood with the old mall. Sure wish I had a pic of that.

Thanks for the video, that really made my night

I must have just missed that, way cool!!!

Who said anything about starting it? As far as pulling it up to me, haven't you ever heard of a block and a groundy?
