I think this saw design killed Disston's future as a chainsaw manufacturer. You rarely see one that's worn out from use.

Diving into a Disston DO-101 fuel meter. It has a transmission driven internal impeller that pressurizes the fuel and injects it into the venturi according to the position of a throttle trigger controlled needle valve. The excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank. Similar to mechanical fuel...

I'm a little late on the draw but the generator is for a Homelite 20 ECS chainsaw. 230V 3 phase 180 cycle. Homelite also had a compactor and concrete vibrator that ran on that generator.

It was a chain guard to protect the operator.

Good morning! I'd always wanted to display some chainsaws at the Steam-O-Rama show at Halltown.i finally did it this year. The 5 on the front edge of the trailer were made in South West Missouri. Mono(Springfield), Cave Carburetor Exchange ( Springfield), Mitchell (Monett), Barker (Springfield)...

This one's too big to fit on the bench. Mall 7G.

Good morning! Been inspecting vehicles and tinkering around the shop. I acquired a side by side that needed a water pump. Just finished it yesterday. It was not fun to replace. Picked up a Echo twin and a Root with a West Bend 820 (134cc) last month. Both are runners.

Around 1959 or 1960.

Not yet, but it looks promising.
