Want to Buy Large Old Chainsaw

[Steven Trexler]

Looking for a complete really old and really large junk chainsaw that I can mount up on top of a huge sign I just got done making for my shop. I would prefer it be between 4-5' long with bar and no more the 6' because then it would hang over on each side of the sign. Obviously shipping is going to be nuts which is why I want a old junker to cut down on cost. Let me know what you got. I'm attaching pictures of the sign to give you an idea of what I want to do, the saw would be mounted on top of the whole structure. Thanks.

I have a bar that was in 1 of the bucket trucks that we have from previous owner. Its at least 36" and stihl I believe. Pay shipping and it's yours.

I actually though about carving a believable chainsaw powerhead and mounting a bar to it but I've already got like 70hrs in the sign so at this point I'm just ready to be done with it lol. Still have to do more sealing and mount my light system for it to be seen at night. It definitely turned into a bigger project then I first intended. It's hard to tell in the picture but all the numbers are carved into the logs and raised out about an inch or more and it's two side.

Have plenty at the shop if you want to visit. Everything from Wild Thangs to 60+ yr old 2 cylinder 2 man saws.

Visit Alaska lol. That's a haul for an old junk saw. Sucks your not closer I'd love to check them out.

U need a two man saw. That would work.

 

[Steven Trexler]

I agree with that. But they are harder to find.

A Mall7 is probably the easiest and cheapest two man to locate

Nice sign Steven. Did you do the carving? How are you going to securely mount the CS?

 

[Steven Trexler]

Yea I did all the carving with a ms210. I do metal fabrication too so I'm going to make custom brackets once I get the saw and bolt it to the top beam.

Got a two man mcculloch with a four or so foot bar on it. Believe it's a 101 model or something like that. Only thing missing is the muffler. Pm me if Interested. Bonus is I'm located in marion nc so maybe no shipping

 

[William Balaska]

Well there you go. Problem solved.

 

[Steven Trexler]

Awesome. PM sent.

I want to see photos of the finished sign with the saw on top!

 

[Steven Trexler]

Here is thread I started showing progression of the sign build. I'll definitely post pictures once the sign is complete and I have the light system installed for night time. I'm going to go all out on the lights.

It doesn't show location on my phone so I have no idea where you live.

Well Steven's post says Salisbury NC so one can assume that would be his location. It looks like Salisbury NC to Palmer AK is 4343 to 4499 miles apart

Nice sign.

Maybe you can get someone with a plasma cutter to cut a silhouette of such a saw out of steel plate, and mount that on top? It might be easier to install, and you could scale it up proportionally.

Place the monster, antique saw just inside your shop, or in a front window, where it will not rust away, but will start lots of conversations.

The rust adds character.
