Loudest chainsaw

[Al Smith]

I've never seen one primed like that .I'll bet when it fires up it shoots flames a foot long .

Got a freebie today i suspect it may be loud.

By the way what homelite is this.I've worked on many old homeys but never this model.

Old fella said he couldn't even hear the ms250 run that he replaced this saw with.

Looks like a Sears/Wards/Roper chainsaw to me. Are there any markings on it anywhere?

 

[Czed]

Nothing on it he said he bought it new at a homelite dealer but i would say your right. i will look for a plate or serial tomorrow has great compression it's worth fixing

Right on.

Here's a picture of my Sears "Lightweight" 77cc gear drive.

Run pretty good or not worth the trouble seems well made.

If it doesn't require much, then it would be worth it for a 64cc piece of history.

Thanks doesn't seem to need much i will go through it and check points lines and carb it's light for an all metal saw.

I worked on one of these old Sears blowhards about a month ago. I got it running. The original owner said it had not been started in at least 15 years.

That thing was so loud that the windows in my house vibrated. I don't think it's a Homelite. Might be a Roper as Jon1212 commented or perhaps a Remington. The one I worked on said Sears and nothing else. It weighed about 20 lb. dry.

You guys are right i just don't have any tags but parts are easy to get and with his unique muffler i can screw on a small motorcycle tailpipe baffle. He quit using it ten years ago it's actually in good shape just faded and dirty another fun project.

There are loud saws that direct sound away from the operator and are not bad to run. Then there are ones like the McCulloch 10-10 with the upturned exhaust version of a muffler(doesn't muffle anything) that directs the noise up, directly to your right ear, making the hairs on your head vibrate. Only saw I ever ran with ear plugs and muffs and still felt like my eardrums were being violated. I'll give an honorable mention to my Homelite XL-102. So probably any of the old saws that exit the right rear are hard on the ears for the operator.

@Glock37 has a 038 mag II that's uncomfortably loud!

My P-60 is pretty damn loud. It hurts my ears.

My super 250 with the baffle out of the muffler is my loudest
