My MC92 hotsaw lost a flywheel fin due to a starter pawl flying past it's stop into the tooth, and had a vibration at speed, so I did not run it. Here are the results.

Here's a Lombard with Homelite engine, and that strange Lombard chain. It had fuel problems and did not finish the cut.

Here is a Mac 7-55 with some 99 parts, cutting on Sunday.

Hey it was sure nice to put some faces to the names I see here on the board last saturday. It was great to see all the old saws and such. Missed the race though. Call me a sucker but I hit tthe swap area hard. Way things sound I will be up there next year with goodies to sell. Got to support the bad habit of milking cows some how. Did pick up a nice 800 homey parts saw. Now i can get a few others ready to sell. So I hope next yr to be able to bring up a few to show and play with.
Later all

The guy running the Husky is Roger Bennet. He had a large display of Husky saws and his buddy had a large display of Homelites. As far as I know neither of them are members here.

Bob,

If you have saws to sell I wold be interested in what you have. I am sorry I missed you Saturday. By the time I hit the swap meet, Scott had gotten all the Macs, Roger had gotten most others worth while, and you had grabbed the late comers.

Really something to see all those old saws run - especially the 2 man saws. Nice show Scott, great job !
Steve gave us a close look and explanation of his saws and chains.
The Locals- Roger Bennett had the Husky display and sells saws on ebay. His buddy
James Shimniok had the Homelite display.Has about 60 saws he runs, brought mainly his Homelites. Last year he brought his McCullochs.
Hope to bring a couple saws to the next one.
Bill- probably have to be there Friday morning in order to get a chance at the decent saws at the swap meet.

It was a great show. Got there late, so I didn't get to compete. Got caught going through the Dells. Forgot how busy it is there.
They did let me run my Grandpa's old Wright just for Demo. Nice to run a saw twice as old as I am. Where was the saw swap meet. We mainly toured the tractors and watched the old saw mills.

 

[McC]

The swap meet is the first thing you go past as you walk in, but it's on the other side from the tractors. You probably got caught up looking at the tractors and didn't notice the swap. I didn't buy any saws at the swap. I did buy a nice 300 Mac from a spectator who brought it on Sunday. I passed it on to my Father-inlaw. The best way to buy saws at a show like this is to have a saw display, and stay by it. People will walk up and say" I've got some old saws at home I'd like to get rid of"
Here is a Titan Blue Streak

To McC (Scott):

Hi Scott. My brother and I went to Boonville, NY for their show. I mentioned going to Baraboo to him and he and I are both interested in going next year if all goes OK. Probably a bit early to ask, but is there any dates for the Baraboo show to be held next year? Would like to know well in advance so that we can plan on going. Is it held about the same time every year? Looks like everyone had a good time running and viewing saws. take care. Lewis.

 

[McC]

Next years date is Aug. 19, 20, 21. The feature show item is the Hart-Parr Oliver tractor collectors national meeting.
Here's a "wild" Frontier.
