Thanks to Chris Lehman Live Edge Slabber I was able to get a couple more saws finished up and ready for the display. The 040 was basically done but needed recoil starter spring, starter pulley, and the Fairbanks Morse pawl set up. The chain on the 040 is .404 .050 chipper, thank to...

86882 Bar, 28" Super Pro, .058 List $27.25 in 1973 Would be $199 today correcting for inflation. Mark

253747 Nitrile Oil Seal - Solid, 0.625 in Shaft Dia., 0.880 in OD, 0.125 in Overall Width, 25 Design, Nitrile Rubber (NBR) Lip Material I wonder if SFK 6119 would work as well? .625 shaft, .875 O.D., .188 wide Mark

Recently added to the display: Disston DA-211 Disston DO-101 Unknown Disston, theory is that Disston was developing a saw apart from their relationship with Kiekhafaer Mercury. Lancaster 400, perhaps the most basic saw I have encountered so far. Left hand mounted bar, gravity feed bar...

Next project, maybe the last before the Open House 8/9 May is this Mozwood. Mozwood saws were made in Durango, Iowa in a small shop run by a man named Elmo Jameson. They bought engines from West Bend and had other castings made in the Midwest. They were also a dealer for Propulsion Products...

The Lancaster 400 is done, runs on prime. Since it is going into the display I didn't want to make a mess with fuel and oil. The high top front handle (bar) is the oil tank. Gravity flow to the bar pad, the oiler valve is opened when the throttle is opened Mark

I will need to see if the tile is blocked, or if it just filled up with hail stones today. Mark

We went with Decra steel shingles on the new building(s), we had them installed on the house several years ago follow and earlier hail event. I will assume they are O.K. but everything will be inspected soon...

I will have to do a bit of cleanup when it dries out, siding replacement will be let to others...aftermath of a hail storm. The siding on the new buildings doesn't look as bad, but may have almost as much damage. Mark

Lancaster is going back together. We have spark... The only photos I have today are the aftermath of the hail storm... The north and west sides of my house and other buildings all took a pretty substantial hit. Vinyl siding can be replaced. Mark

Do you have an IPL Steve? There is a snap ring under the seal that must come out before the crankcase will come apart. It looks pretty good to me just the way it is. Mark

EFSM - 2766 on the Mozwood is locked up, I'm currently soaking it hoping I can get it freed up. Mark
