Was looking through some junk in a storage area on my property and found this old piece. Any thoughts? can anyone id it from these pics?

Old Sears made by Roper maybe.

Thats what it looks like to me, i think.

It's a sears/roper D-44

They also made a G-44 gear driven. I tried to fix one for a friend, and never could get it running.

Either a D-44 or D-49.

Great, thanks guys! I'll see if I can dig up some info on them. I may need a late winter project...

I use a saw similar to that one when I go fishing.... I tied the rod to a rope an it makes a fantastic anchor.

Best to remove the bar when river fishing. Catchs too much current.

Yeah... Definitely a PHO situation.

Take the top cover off and flip it over, the model number is often on the underside.

well I talked to my dad, turns out it was my late grandfathers saw. dad says he cut a LOT of firewood with that saw, but it ended up getting a crack in the top tank when a branch whacked it. he tried to bondo it up but it still leaked. dunno, still may mess with it if I get bored.

Here is what it could look like... I think Johnnie (Roanoker494) used to have a bunch of these.

[EDIT] It appears that I have more than one...

If it were my paps, I'd probably want to restore it a bit too. Even if you can't get it going or it's too far gone, you can paint it up and make a sweet wall hanger out of it. I have a couple mall saws that were my grandfathers. most people would think I'm nuts for working on them.

Start off with a good degreasing and a wash. Might surprise you!

Roanoker494 hasn't been on here of late.................................................

 

[fearofpavement]

He had been having some serious health issues. Don't know if that's why he's not on here.

Carl,

I think that he has moved as well. I found him through a CL ad for someone on the Forum 3 or 4 months ago. I have not seen him since the Central VA GTG last April.
