Over on AS you can read about Zogger, these two saws came from Zogger via svk. I cleaned them up and put them in the display.



svk also supplied this NOS Titan 35.

I almost forgot about this, I had a special tour request this week.



I'd like to harness some of that energy for the next time I need to cut some wood.

I haven't updated in a while so I'll put up some current photos. It is hard to capture much in photos so you will just have to come and look things over for yourself.

More from the display area. I decided to move a few special saws over to the display to make it easier for folks to see them all at once.

I have also been working in the shop trying to get parts & supplies put away to create some additional space to work.

Too many projects on hand at the moment.





I try to keep some saws on hand "For Sale", mostly small stuff since the casual visitor likely just needs to trim a few branches. The 600 Series are big saws for most of the locals, and they are relatively fast movers. I also try to keep a smattering of other saws ready to go. Surprising but the PM6 and SP40 have their enthusiasts as well.

Mark, that is beautiful, and your shop is as impressive as your display room!

I had wondered what the stack of steel lamination was on the 611 carb. So it's the air filter?

yes it is.

 

[motoOzarks]

Nice
good for you

 

[Nutball]

Weird, looks like it could use an upgrade to breathe better.

Would you happen to have an extra stacked air filter?

 

[Nutball]

No, but somebody should make a 3D printed copy. Worth a try whether or not it works.

Some McCulloch bling I recently acquired. You may have seen this on eBay, I contacted the seller and was able to get it for a reduced rate. I am not sure what Richard V. Dempster's role was at McCulloch but his name appears on several documents I have in the R.V. Jackson file. Robert Vernon Jackson was an Engineer at McCulloch and R.V. Dempster was cc'd on some of R.V. Jackson's patent award letters.








It looks a little more like a beaver in person...

I have also added a "test log" outside the back door so I can check out saws as soon as they are finished.

The set up in this pic is not complete. There should be (2) “L” shaped brackets used to support the rear of the filter. From the bottom of the two rear nuts of the filter to the two screws used to hold the on/off switch. It’s pretty important too. The two studs used to hold the carb (and everything attached to it) are screwed into a plastic adapter that is attached to the cylinder with (3) screws. The carb is not attached directly to the cylinder and the plastic adapter will eventually fail. I have several that are cracked. You should fix that.
This is a home made setup that a previous owner has installed. To do it right, and eliminate all stress at the intake block, mount the carb and air filter just like you have it. Then, slot the “L” brackets on the long leg for the screws that hold the switch on to go thru. Mount the short leg to the filter and the slot in the long leg will allow the screw to be tightened wherever it sits in the slot. And that’s where you want it. Putting no additional strain on anything and supporting the weight of the carb and filter.
My other saw has what I think are factory L brackets , it’s just a bit harder to get to .
