My next mini saw seen at a parade over the weekend in northern MN. Will you carry it in for us?

Surprised you don't have one already.

What is the logo on the door of the truck? Curious who put this in the parade.

It was some locale logging co. Suppose I should have took a photo of there logo.

Bet you won't find any plastic on that old girl like todays saws.

Bet you'll need time and a half if using it because the chain speed with the motor will be very slow.

That is a sweet old truck.

Looks a lot like my first truck, 1954 GMC, 5 wndw cab, 17" split rims, 4x9 ft bed.

It's older than me and looks a little better.

It probably does run slower but suspect it also would bog down less than new saw that size.

When was visiting my family is south western Idaho 20+ years ago there was a lumber jack demonstration - show and they had a couple of the old two man saws running. They where heavy man killers that chewed through a 3 foot diameter tree surprisingly quick. They were reportedly stock engines not super tuned. If remember correctly one of them had 5 foot bar and weighed 10+ lbs. the bar turned 90 degrees so engine stayed vertical when felling a tree.

Was fun to watch, no thanks on operating it though.

I was on the helper end of this one. We were just making test cuts.
