The two man saw turnout looks good for this year. Hopefully Kevin will be convinced to run his Stihl KS43. We will see in about 12 hours

What a great day! I'm pretty sure everyone had good luck with their saws, the only one I can think of that didn't run was Wendell's 285 husky, and Roger's 2100. I limited myself to only running my 250, and my hotsaw. I pulled a muscle in my back Friday afternoon, and could barely move for an hour, then only limited to slow movements the rest of the day. Had a tough time sleeping, and waking up Saturday I still was unsure if I would be able to run a saw, but as the day went on, I got better. Feeling much better now, but will take it easy tomorrow (Sunday) at the show. Will post results after Sunday.

It was a lot of fun, great weather, plenty of saws and a good time was had by all. Thanks to Scott and all the crew at the Badger Steam and Gas club for giving us a corner of the grounds to play with.

There were not quite so many here as last year, but we still had a good time and were able to see a lot of interesting saw. Pretty impressive seeing the old equipment in operation and to realize how far the technology has come along over time. I got to ride the stinger end of two different two man saws and like my father so many years ago realize that is not the way to make a living!

Here are some photos of some of the saws about the grounds.

I believe this is known as a Sally Saw.

There was one new collector here, bought the two luch box McCullochs and the 3-25 from the flea market out front.

Roger Bennet had a nice line up

Roger always has some very interesting saws in his display.

Kevin Krotenko from Pelly, SK was here again this year but only brought two big two man saws. Kevin chatting with James Shimniok while the morning was still pretty cool.

James lives near by and is able to bring a very large number of saws every year, alternating between McCulloch and Homelite, this was a Homelite year but he manages to sneak in a good variety of others as well.

More of Jame's saws.

Not exactly a chain saw but a pretty neat addition to anyone's collection.

Bill G came with a nice group of big saws. Bill going over things with Scott.

Bruce Meindard (sp?) doesn't bring a lot of saws but the saw he brings run particularly well, and Bruce is exceptional at sharpening and operating his saws. If I have my facts straight, that 10-10 took 2nd place in the 5 In³ and under class and beat a whole lot of bigger displacement saws.

Scott had a nice group of saws here as well representing a whole range of ages and designs.

Wendel came with a truck load of saws and his daughter to act as babysitter for Emmet while Wendel, Marty, and I tried to sharpen the chain on his 5-49. Hopefully I will regain some feeling in my fingers later this week after the abuse from filing yesterday.

I managed to get 14 saws packed in the Ranger, well 13 and the Mini Mac.

That's all for now, I have to start driving. I will try to check in tonight when I get to the next stop and add a few action shots from the competition.

No one put up a single photo all day? SLACKERS!

I had a long stop to see Woody on my way from Baraboo to Indianapolis today and ended up with a couple more boxes of parts I'll have to go through and sort out, lots of vintage stuff there including one of the unobtanium duck bill valves for the 10 Series bull frog or fuel caps.

One set of racing photo's for you tonght:

Nice pictures Mark, thanks.

I see Bill brought that nice Castor and the diesel, but did he have the diesel running? I so want to see that in action.

 

[heimannm]

Diesel is non running at this time. Kevin was giving some pointers on the fuel pump set up.
