Good idea.Never store a chainsaw belly down on concrete without something like a board under it .The alumina, an ingredient in Portland cement through a chemical process will eat that thing up in a given amount of time .From the inside out like a tape worm .

Those 50 year old Macs and others were built in a time of basicaly old growth cutting .7 foot Douglas firs and red woods on the left coast and 4 foot oaks in the heart land.Powerful ,heavy and cost a bunch of money.Well there isn't much of that sized timber done these days and those big old torquers have been replaced with lighter faster saws.Just the way things have evolved.

The big old oak slayers are a hoot to run for a short period of time but the novelty wears off rather quickly .Been there and done that .

Still have quite a lot of larger tree's around here. Mostly farm paddock monsters as opposed to milling coups. Only stupid fools like me still like to use the old beasts, even that is difficult due to safety regs. Still it means you can do a job others can't.

Those old loggers were men. Spoilt rotten today are we.
