One of these may fit in nicely.

This version may be a squeeze...

...we're gonna need a bigger boat...

medicineman prompted me to look for the measuring cup to compliment my McCulloch fuel can. I met with some success.



The can that came with it is somewhat rusty so I put it up on a higher shelf...

Turd Ferguson hooked me up with a guy selling this two man bar with a decal for the logo. There was some serious rust (pitted) in spots due to being stored in the cardboard sleeve under less than idea conditions. We cleaned it up as best we could, certainly nice enough to look at hanging on the wall.



I though the cardboard sleeve should also go up on the wall. Not sure how long it will hold up as the paper has become pretty fragile over the years. Must be old, Los Angeles had a two digit postal code...



Come see the display for yourself sometime.

Added some Swedish XD eye candy. eBay purchase, just had to mount the bar & chain and wipe off a little oil here and there.

I also finished the clean up/reassembly of this Homelite 25 LCS. They really went all out on the paint scheme on their older saws.







Float type carburetor swivels to maintain the orientation when making a felling cut.



Remember Esso?

So, just the carburetor rotates, and not the whole motor?

It's all relative...

Your chainsaw museum is amazing Mark. I’ve read through all the progress. If I ever come to Iowa I’ll have to see it in person.

What do you mean by that version might be a squeeze? I have that version of the EZ.

Yes, some Clinton chainsaws were made the same way.

 

[LAWN BOY]

I've been keeping busy with saw repairs, chain sharpening, parts orders, and wood cutting along with other household chores trying to get things ready for winter but did find time to get a couple of saws cleaned up for the display this week.

This one is a very low hour that really only needed wiping the dust off.

If it reminds you of a McCulloch PM610, there is a good reason for that.

Mark

Nice, I have the McCulloch version of that saw.

 

[LAWN BOY]

It had a points replacement chip but I cleaned and adjusted the points, condenser was good, so we are back to the original ignition operation.

Like the 190 A, this one used a pressurized oil tank for the automatic oiler (flow control knob is on the right above) but also has a manual pump plus an additional valve that is operated by the throttle.

Very nice. That’s a saw I’ve been on the look out for.

ESSO Gasoline refueling station ?

ESSO Gasoline refueling station

All over Europe, the one with the tiger mascot, correct?

All over Europe, the one with the tiger mascot, correct?

This is not such a popular station in my place, but I saw it somewhere I found out that they were bought by Lotos quite a long time ago, so I think I've seen them more abroad recently

 

[hacskaroly]

This is not such a popular station in my place, but I saw it somewhere

I can agree with that, I don't remember seeing any in Poland where I was at. The ones I remember seeing were in Germany and Hungary (maybe Slovakia too).

My son posted this video on YouTube.

I’m so glad you got it working properly. It’s literally exactly where it belongs.

yes I’ve just checked Esso has 87% of all the gas stations in the UK

and I found the old tiger advert sign
