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

What oil mix ratio are you running in your Mall?

It's a secret...Acres site says the mix ratio is, 3/4 pint to 1 gallon...Even w/ todays oils I could not get myself to run 40 to 1, so I just mixed it 20 to 1 w/ ultra...

Kind of like the 12:1 mix my RA calls for...use 40:1 now.

:agree2: I was in the middle of putting a bar and chain on my Dolmar when you fired it off, I dropped what I was doing and grabbed my camera and ran over there. Afterwards I finished tightening the bar nuts and fired it up and was walking over to the cant and revved it up and off flys the chain...opps forgot to tighten the chain andd it's all your fault.

I have been blamed for alot worse...

So whats up with the GTG???? Are you going to host one?

I think I can swing one, but I don't want to step on anybody elses toes...Not sure what kind of time frame to have between them for people...I guess maybe I should just start a thread...

Don't know how I missed this thread, but I guess if I can miss a turn or two it's not all that surprising lol.

Good video btw, love seeing the old saws.

Is the chain sharp? I can't imagine a saw designed to cut that danged slow.

Could it have been Fatguy was driving?

Yes the chain is sharp, but it is a scratcher chain...

Very early chainsaws used tooth configurations very similar to conventional hand saws. These were very simple saw teeth following a wave pattern (left, centre, right, centre) with no depth gauges as such, relying purely on bar pressure to limit the cutting rate. They were inefficient and slow in use, and were soon superseded by chipper chain.

Hi outdoor, those scratcher chains will cut pretty good if they are sharpened proper. They are tricky to do and really need to be put on a jig to do them right.

here are pics of a machine used to sharpen scratcher. I am not sure how this works but I have read a bit in my manuals about the correct angles if you chose to do it by hand.

Natalie has done a few of her scratchers by hand and it takes a long time to get them right.

here is one that seemed to be fairly sharp when we fired it up.
This is Natalie Amber and Bill Pelham helping me fire up some malls.

i missed this thread the first time.....thanks for the vid!
btw, a good two-man team with a sharp saw would be faster than that Mall.
