Vintage Chainsaw Museum

[Partner]

Here they say it's a chainsaw for left-handers or someone in the British Isles because they drive on the left side

So do the Aussies and Kiwi's but they also drive upside down.

Bill, go drink coffee in your favorite mug

 

[Wilhelm]

The Titan 30 is equipped with an interesting twist

Look closely and see if you can spot the most curious feature of this one.

Mark

Left hand bar mount & right hand starter assembly?

 

[Steve]

I'm gonna say provisions for a top cylinder shroud but no cylinder shroud offered. I see no other reasons for the two screws on top of the cylinder.

 

[heimannm]

The left bar is what I found most curious. I've seen a few others that were left hand bar and have examples of the Cox Beaver and McCulloch Thrifty/LeSabre.

I once had a Wards A-400 that I wish that I would have kept.



There was also a Porter Cable model, I've only seen photos of that one.

The Titan 30 is equipped with an interesting twist where the oil tank and fuel tank are both pressurized off the crankcase. The Tillotson carburetor has no fuel pump circuit and relies on the pressurized fuel tank to operate out of position. There is also a valve off the oil tank connected to the throttle, so that opening the throttle opens the valve to lubricate the bar and chain.

Look closely and see if you can spot the most curious feature of this one.

Am I seeing direct drive? and the straight pipe of course.

I have a Mac Le Sabre and I believe somewhere I have the Porter Cable.

You forgot the Skarie Chain Lighting. I also have one of those.

 

[heimannm]

Skarie, Titan Propulsion 85, Teles Little Tiger, probably a few more as well.

I've been slacking on updates...a few more saws cleaned up and moved into the display.









Sold as a Ford Eagle II, built by O&R (Orline or Ohlson & Rice). Chrome plating was worn off the exhaust side but it still have enough compression to run, sort of.

Mark

 

[heimannm]

I have a few of the other XX XXV 2000 variants in the display but did not have a green XX until now. Pretty rough but it does represent the vintage well enough.









I already have the same saw in red with White Motors labels and orange as a Wright.

That’s an awesome saw.

Do you have a bicentennial like mine?

 

[heimannm]

I saw this Lancaster with a left hand bar mount over the Labor Day weekend at our Cedar Valley Engine Club display. Another one I need to look for...

[Partner]

The demolition went according to plan, I guess
