I think he was hoping to use the bar off your "cartoon saw" and some of that Kolve chain...

I have a 19" hardnose and an old loop of Stihl .404 round chisel that he's gonna use on it. He's sending me a 58" roller-nose Cannon.

Impressive re-build! Keep up the great work. The saw looks awesome!
This thread makes you want to...............
Smile like it's Christmas! I tell you what, that has to be the best paint job I've ever seen on a saw, even on a brand new one. Lee, great work. Put it under a Christmas tree and take some pictures for making Christmas cards. No joke, awesome work, good for you! Best, Max.:yourock:

Well, The big girl is done. Just waiting for decals.
I would also like to recoat the wrap handle bar as
soon as i can find a reputable company to do it.
I have it outfitted with a 10 pin 404 sprocket so i
can see how it will pull. I also have a 9 pin just in
case the 10 is a bit much. I will wait wait another
week before running to make sure the paint is cured.
Hope all have enjoyed this thread.

Excellence on display.......
Lee, thanks for the great thread. That is an awesome labor of love you have there. I can't wait to see it spittin' chips soon. Best to you, and good luck on the coating! Max.

That thing is pretty awesome Lee. It even gets the white towel treatment. That thing is gonna be a monster with a 10pin. Are you using a Bill G adapter? You just gave me a great idea for 1 of my 2 1130's. The one will only wear a 36" bar so a 9 pin on that would make it even more of a beast then it is. :biggrinbounce2:
Got her done a few days ago but was raining.
Today was as nice a day as you can get in Nov.
So i took a few more pic's with a 42 inch bar and
404 full chisel chain on it. Running a custom 10 pin
sprocket to give me a bit more chain speed.
Just waiting for the decal kit to be made.
You see in the video it is pulling some good chips.
Seems to run excellent.
