It's hard to ignore an H&S

6" is Mongo sized? What great news!!!!!!!

I don't know how often Poulan did this with the sand cast saws, but the 31 and the Super 31 had different strokes and used the same top end. They accommodated the longer stroke by using a spacer sandwiched between two gaskets under the cylinder.

Many of the 50s American saws that ran the Power Products and West Bend engines offered a range of engine sizes on a single chassis. Also: Homelite 650/750 and 450/550 McCulloch SP 105/ SP 125, 795/797, and many others. Poulan 4200/4900/5200 Just examples, each company had many more saws that...

This is a rebadged Orline Mark IID, and unlike all of the other Orline offerings, this little saw is actually made pretty well. The castings are all robust, it has a "normal" carburetor, it's not super easy to work on, but not terrible. And, it has an ingenious feature wherein every time the...

Picture of mine.

I have a 790 and a 797 that are surplus to my needs. PM me if you're interested.

A bare naked bar loose in a box is at great risk. At least the edges of the bar need to be covered, and it helps to fasten it in some way so that it can't move independently. Also helpful is to upgrade to Home Depot or Lowe's heavy duty moving boxes. Much more robust at a minimal cost. I have...

My Blitz 40

The 80 was highly regarded as a powerful, tough saw. And, in my opinion, the 70e was the finest of the all metal Jonsereds. Judging by the amount of paint remaining on the rear handle, I don't think the running 70 has been used very much.

I'm just glad my 630 and 670 both already have full wraps, or I'd be offering you too much for that handle.

Nice saws, and I like the stake rack on your side by side too.

That's a beauty! Congratulations!!
