Nice score!! I just rebuilt a friends 61, I really like those and 55s. I have the start of a 55, but would like to eventually get a 61 too!

Seen the same results so many times.
No effort required just put it back if it’s not clean

jtr - the Pioneer appears to be pretty well preserved under that protective coating

I ran my 910 a few times cutting firewood before I decided a piece of history like that should probably be preserved.

I like the 55s too. I have 2 50s, one is original the other has a 55 cylinder. I have a 55 but it' has a Chinese cylinder.

That’s a beaut. There’s also a complete 820 that I’ll be going back for sometime soon. On the other end of the spectrum, Dyno Joe just did an 820 pipe saw with two piece cylinder/head that looked pretty fast.

Nice looking saws , That '41 looks like it hasn't had a haircut since '41. It will most likely be the shiniest of the 3 when you detail it.

Exactly! I also think that the 61 is going to be a very pretty example of a white top

White tops are cool looking, but I think I would like a black topped one when I get in the market for one.

I had a pristine black top that I sold to my friend. I still get to see it whenever we go out cutting

i made my tank out of a beer keg because i wanted a tank small enough that it was easy to move around. i made a base with wheels so i could roll it around when it has water in it. i dont have to mess with finding metal to put in it because the whole thing is stainless. i was just putting cast iron skillets in it.

I have some neglected wrenches .. was chrome now not so easy to read the size stamp. This might (In a way) rejuvenate them a bit. (Chromium in the water) I will do some more reading.

i think it would work to remove the rust just fine. not sure if it would make chromium in the water. the wrenches arent plated with chrome they are chromvanidum. not sure either im not a chemist.
