So what did you do today?

Reworked the Rhubard box, and


Took a look at the garlic patch that came up early.

Should be tasty end of July to early August.

I think that same saw was also sold as a Craftsman 1200-B or something like that.

Any idea of the value?

I have a few in various versions that would like a new home.

Holy chit! Two cutters per drive link?

It's called a scratcher chain.

I found this Reed-Prentice Corp saw at a friends.
Anybody know about these?

Like Mark said, this is a Reed-Prentice/Craftsman 1200b chainsaw (103cc engine). I have one. Mine is a one-man version, I have a shorter bar without the buddy handle. They were manufactured around 1946-1949 and were about $500 brand new (closer to $4,000 in today's money). Parts are very hard to find, mine is missing the muffler, cylinder shroud and a few other small things. I working on rebuilding mine, it's a process and luckily I came across the service manual on e-Bay and it has an IPL in it so I know for sure what I am missing.

Here is a pic of mine before tearing it down, it sat outside as a lawn ornament for 20+ years:


Edit: There was a trashy one on eBay that was going for $300 + $250 shipping - totally not worth it in my opinion.

“Everything but the kitchen sink”,
Well, when I got through mowing anfter about four hours, wife flags me down and the elbow under the sink needs replacing. Water going everywhere. Just got it fixed I hope. Now to pick up Grandkids!

Nice job!! I tiled a bathroom in my last house, learned after the fact that it helps if you tap down the tiles with a rubber mallet, wasn't as even as I thought it was, but my lines were straight!!!

Whoever laid the tile in our kitchen didnt think straight or even was important.
Was that you?

 

[hacskaroly]

Was that you?

Nope, I really didn't think about it when setting the tiles, was just eyeballing the best I could, then later when I ran a laser I was surprised how straight they were.
