Vintage Chainsaw Museum

If Mark were to secure them and I wanted to steal them, I'd take the whole posts.

Good for You Mark if You live in an area where You do not have to worry too much about things going missing.

Looking great!

In this part of Iowa they are very unlikely to leave on their own...more likely folks will come along and stick more in the posts.

Tweekers would have that cleaned off in a week in River city. They cruise the alleys here.

You better make some spare bore cut slots for additional saws or some of those folk will cut the posts in half!

 

[Philbert]

They would not last long in my neighborhood. Heck, I would steal them and send them down to your chainsaw museum!

Putting any kind of wax, or oil, or (?) other rust preventative on the steel parts? Paint might make them less attractive to thieves too!

Great googly moogly, look at that sweet looking '59 Ford across the street! Oh and I like what you did with your post too. Lol

 

[heimannm]

That Ford has been setting there for 2 or 3 years, please come down and make him an offer. He used to run a body shop in that location and has/had great skills but has decided scrap and horse trading are an easier way to survive.

He also brought this by the other day asking if I could help sell it for him.

Tell him to stick it in the post, maybe with a price tag on it.

I found some papers for dad's old saw.

I moved some more items over the museum this week as well as moved the Comet from the workshop into the display area. I did not remember to get any photos of the McCulloch generator or the Comet in their new location but I will get some and get them posted soon.

Tonight my son came over to help me get the BP399-T and the drone engine up where they belong. The BP399-T is in the area above the front entry door, the drone engine is hanging from the ceiling. Photos don't really do them justice so I guess you will just have to come and see it in person. Please limit your groups to less than 10 at a time to keep the covid-19 watchdogs happy.

I put another brush cutter up this week as well as an electric string trimmer that came along. The latest brush cutter has the same 38 cc engine as the edger up above the entry.

If anyone has a good suggestion for a slow turning turntable for the BP399-T please let me know.

I moved the McCulloch generator to the front of the display area.



I also put the Comet diesel along with the box and tools up front where all can see.

Never heard of such a chainsaw...the Comet. The whole museum, everything looks fine. Well done!

 

[heimannm]

Diesel, or perhaps more accurately a "hot bulb", the stainless steel handle is a propane tank for the burner on the front to preheat the cylinder head. I have not actually tried to run it so far as I keep occupied with other tasks.
