old saws

[Jeff]

I gave you the info so YOU can find out. You now know as much as I do.

[redpowerd]

HOMEWORK :D

hey if you had a picture of them, i could draw them up. ;D

[Jeff]

I went back through my unedited photos but didnt have anything clear enough. I also was looking for clues to who the guy was but didnt find any.

[Bro. Noble]

That chainsaw guy on www.acresinternet.com probably can tell you where to get decals and probably has good pictures as well.


Man you ought ta see the saw on his front page today.  Jeff will have to have one :D :D

[Lewis Brander]

OK Jeff, I'll see what I can find out. I contacted Frank Sadlin on Mike's site. He's the fellow I talked to on reproducing these decals, but he has no way to do them without an original copy or something to work from. I sent him the pictures I received and he stated that he couldn't use them. I've contacted others who have said that they can do them from the same pictures, but want upwards to $250.00 to $300.00 to work them up and reproduce them and I'm not made of money. I'll have to try and contact Mr. Ring Lardner at Disston Precisions and see if he happened to come across them in the Disston archives. Thanks, the suggestions and help. Lewis Brander.

[Jeff]

Take the time and look at the collectors section. There are several guys there that list email address's that might be able to help.

I like THIS saw, look at the 3rd picture down.

The place to go for vintage homelite needs is "Hawkins Bros.# 573-588-4731 .They are the homelite pros.

[Chris J]

And the place to go for obsolete (& some newer) Jonsered parts is George Blake, (self edit).

Self edit:  I goofed.  I was informed on another post that it's against the site rules to post someone else's email address.  If you're not familiar with George, & think you might want his email, let me know.

[Lewis Brander]

Hello to all. Well I contacted Disston Precisions and the Taconi/Historical Society again and no luck on the decals as yet. The fellow at Disston Precisions hasn't forgot me and is still looking. I did manage to find some contact information for the Hocking College in Nelsomville that apparently puts on the Paul Bunyan show and sent a couple of emails to see if some informaiton on the exhibitors can be forund. Will now have to wait to see what happens. Take care. Lewis.

[redpowerd]

i hope i can stop by and see your saws soon, mr brander. id like you to look at this old saw i have thats electric, mabie you want it.?

[Lewis Brander]

Hey Redpowered, you stop by anytime and we'll look at and fire up a couple of the saws I have and have a coffee or 2. Do you have my address or phone number? I'll email it to you if you need it. Lewis. Brander.

I'd love to see some of that old iron working on the full sized wood it was designed for.  It would be fun to get a few vintage guys & vintage saws projects together up there in the North Country and tinker with those old saws, and push a few vintage saw projects further along. If there isn't a good place up there,  I can supply the place a little further south & some big wood!

[Jeff]

The old Wright lives! Chet and I tore it down and put it back together and got it running without any added parts other then fuel line. We did add a spark plug and fuel cap gasket today though.



Here is a couple of video clips with Chet running the saw.

Cool !    Did you try it in a "real" log to see how hard it would pull?

[chet]

 : Sure ya had ta ask!   :-/  Now he'll show da udder vidio, da one dat I stalled it.  

[Jeff]

Chet tried an undercut acording to the old manual.  :D  

I'll put it along later with a real cut.

Wright Saw cutting

The Undercut ( :D)

[Tom]

"We've come a long way, Baby". :D

[SwampDonkey]

For some reason when Jeff mentioned the option for a meat blade on that saw, I had a startling vision from the movie 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. Just call me a meatball Jeff. ;) :D :D

[Ron Scott]

Jeff went a long way to get that saw running  ;) Looks like there wasn't any snow yet.

[chet]

Nope no snow.    But shortly after da pictures it started, now it probably won't quit 'till April or May.  :

[Jeff]

Yea, Chet took me on a thrill ride up in da north woods of iron river during the wet heavy snow. We took his 2 wheel drive 4 wheel drive ranger. We were goona go up to Shotgun's camp but never made it that far. We got stuck in the middle of a hill about 3 days walk from civilization. :-/

[chet]

Don't believe dat Jeff guy for a minute. He just gets nervous. We got back in plenty of time for dinner.  ;)

[Jeff]

There's a little more to da story. How bouts Jeff standing on the bumper trying to give that little ford some traction? Didn't work!

[Ron Scott]

Time to get out the "chains".  Any deer??
