Best pics of your older saws

[fwgsaw]

These must have been heavily used and abused , worn out , trashed as you don't see many. Then we have the 77 that's much harder to find. Can't find any records for production so far. I have 2963 and that's the highest I've seen so far. I know of around a dozen 77 saws or a tad more. Seen a lot more 73 saws but still not one you see everyday. One guy that lives on the west coast said 73's are easy to find. Then others say you never see them so it all depends on what part of the country your in.

Yes I would guess the 73 probably was used hard but 1.5 year production period is all. I agree the 77 is harder to find because i haven't found one yet. I'm to the point that I would trade a minty 090 for one that was really clean.

For as much as a mint 090 sells for you want one pretty bad. They are great saws. I have yet to compare my 77 against the 73 but would assume they are fairly equal. I envy the guys out west so many saws in barns and who knows where. Here in VA I don't see big saws but I don't look much either.

I don't have the fever Like a lot of guys do and go saw hunting frequently. I'm happy for what I have and am very saw selective. I only look for certain models or buy nothing. Much easier to manage the collection this way. And who in the hell wants 600 saws or more? A lot do obviously but not I. I set a goal of 50 and still far from it. We all have different collecting habits. I just can't see 400-600 saws in my garage. Too much clutter.

All I really want is one complete two button 3-25 and an 895C then I'll have most all of what I searched for. There might be a few others like a 10 series gear drive or say a nice 800 series gear drive like 840, 890, 895.. No BP1 those just have little appeal. Not the grail for me. A nice 895C or two button 3-25 with the side attachment for cutting close to the ground would be my grail. Can't recall the proper name right now old age is getting to me. Anyway that's how I look at it.

The grail is a 895CL.

The grail is a 895CL.

Ok Randy i forgot about the lefty. I had a feller a few months back tell me he had a real nice low hour 895C in great shape he would sell me. I thought damn luck is on my side again I can't wait to get that sucker. But then...... he said I can't find it. Huh?? Doesn't make any sense to me. If I said I had a nice low hour whatever it may be I'd sure as hell have it. So I don't think the guy was messing with me, never has before. Maybe someone walked off with it? I don't know what happened but it sucks . I think I'm going to contact him again.

A few years back I got a saw off someone I can't remember exactly who I'll have to dig back through emails but he said there were two saws at work, both real old McCulloch saws and both have bars with holes in them. Yeah that got me thinking and day dreaming. He said they wouldn't get rid of them but it's been a few years. But... they may already be gone but they may still be there too. Thing is I'm have to figure out who in the hell it was. I should have wrote his info down and kept it separate but didnt. Wouldn't that be something to come across two say 3-25 two button saws with the early bars with holes in them and scratcher chain...

Yellow top Super 250. The sticker on the lid is a 25th anniversary celebration. I don't use this saw at all its too clean yet it does run. Very peppy saw . Got lucky on this one don't see many yellow top S250 saws.

This thread wasn't completely decimated by the linkbucks fiasco. Lot of good pictures here still. Even the McCulloch saws.

Depending on what you call old, I guess I got rid of all mine. I think the oldest things I have now are a couple of Homelites....

Remington Super 770


Homelite 900D



Homelite XL-15

Jerry is the 600 King of the hill or the RA?

Jerry is the 600 King of the hill or the RA?

Kind of depends a bit, the RA was the last of the sand cast saws for IEL and Pioneer when they merged and the 600 was the first die cast saw for Pioneer. Both are king of the hill at least for me, must have several of each.

 

[rocketnorton]

i thought, maybe incorrectly?, that the 800 was last sandcast, still few being made in vancouver, after the move to ont?

 

[rocketnorton]

800 i had.
chain is how i got it

I know most of my saws don't qualify as older saws. At least I'm nowhere near Chris's old stuff. but...



The 3200 series weren't Pioneer's finest moments in paint but these saws are pretty stout.
