Wright saw

[blackoak]

I came across an old Wright reciporcating saw the other day. It is in good condition. After cleaning the carb and tank of nasty sludge and replacing the fuel lines, the saw fired right up. My problem is the blade is broke and I need one. Does anybody know where to purchase one. I would love to try this old beast out. It does not have a model number on it that I can find, but it does have a sticker that says Super Rebel. The guide bar is 24" long. It's big and heavy and brown. The serial number is 302766. It also has a letter T cast in the starter cover. How do these saws compare to regular chain type saws?

Hunters prefer that saw for cutting up what they kill, because it has no chain to oil and contaminate the meat, I dont know how it compares to a chainsaw, but they are interesting to see.

There's also an older thread here where Mike Acres adds some comments on uses for that saw. Try a search for: Wright AND reciprocating.
