WANTED West Bend 820 saw chassis

[Woodslasher]

Title says it all, a buddy of mine who isn't tech savvy needs a chainsaw chassis for a West Bend 820 engine. He's got a motor already but he said he'd take a complete blown up saw if that's what is available. Just so y'all know it may be up to a day before I get a definitive answer on whether or not he's interested in the unit.

There are many frames that can be adapted

Did you ever find a frame

No sir

Wednesday evening I dug out some saws for a guy who said he wanted them........of course he backed out. While waisting time on that I grabbed this frame. It is a Lancaster that had a 610 or 820 in it. I am not real enthused about getting rid of it but it shows the type of frame to look for. There are quite a few that can be adapted with a bit of ingenuity. What does the gentleman want to do with the saw in the end? Is it just to have fun with or for a vintage hot saw class?

They still make the Westbend 820 sold under US 820 or Power Bee 820 .Kind of pricey as are the parts . I've got I think a 580 WB kart engine my younger brother had on a mini bike that would
run around 60 MPH but I never had any intentions to use it on a chainsaw .I had a mini bike with a 3 HP Briggs that ran around 25 and must have got about 100 miles per gallon of gas .

I do not feel they are pricey at all.

It's been awhile since I talked to him so I'm not if he's still hunting, but I heard he had a pretty hot West Bend motor he was going to stuff in there.
