vintage chainsaws & more stuff saved from scrap!

[jay in nc 209]

was over at my wifes homeplace& got to talking with the next door neighbor. seems his dad died a couple of years ago & they were cleaning out the shop & loading a trailer to go to the scrap yard. the first thing i noticed was a cat 0 back blade & molboard plow , then there was a box full of big old homelite super wiz & super 77 parts saws. so i asked if he'd sell that stuff. he said no but i could have it! well a couple of weeks go buy and today i went over to pick the stuff up. his friend said they found some other saw stuff in the shop. turns out it was 3 boxes of NOS. parts! there are carbs, air cleaners, sprockets, rings, clutches, gastanks, cylinders,recoils,wrenches,plugcovers,oilers,fuel filters and a lot more. all he wanted was the wooden ammo boxes back! so i had 3 of the boxes already so i took him my boxes. the parts are for poulan & homelite saws from the late 50s-to early 60s his dad was the mechanic fo a big timber co. in smithfield nc. lastly last week CRE1992 posted about his stihl saws, & he saw my antique maculogh & homelite saws so here are pics of them. one of the macs is a super rare worm drive saw. it's the one in the back. the red & green homelite is also a rare one. it's a underwater saw for cutting cyprus in the swamps. when you lay the saw down to cut horizontaly you press a button and the rt. handle & the carb twist back to upright. it also has a cable recoil not a rope. i bought this saw in the parking lot at the whcc show in 2004 enjoy the pictures & if you know anyone who needs the poulan parts pm me. Thanks Jay
