The guy in this video cracks me up, he really loves old chainsaws! He fires up his Danarm 55 and it sounds like a beast!

In fact, he has a lot of different antique chainsaws / The second saw in the ad is bigger, so it also sounds better 😉

246 - 95, paid $100, only defect was a broken cord.
So it has been run rich mixture, guess its sprocket is on first.
A good basis to become a good chainsaw, and will be a summer saw in my collection.
Will get new hose, filter, gaskets, ring, plug, carb kit + porting of course

A tad carbon:

As expected, KS piston.

YFZ450 frames. Line bored with a hand drill. Aluminum Bronze bushings installed.
Not the most ideal way to do it... but, it works.

A couple more pics. Number 2 is complete.
This shaft was made from tool steel, the cutter was from a solid carbide end mill that I broke and modified/ground... then I just used basic tooling and pulled the bushings into their bores.
