Walk behine Saw

[dgbentz]

I was not sure where to put this, But I was thinking some one that knows
anything about chain saws may be able to help me,
I have a lot of old things, Well some is Junk but I love it
This is a walk behine saw a friend gave me,
what I would like to know is, Who made it ?
about what year it was made ?
what engine and size was on it ?
what color it was ?
I know it is dangerous, and do not plan on using it other than yard Art.

Hello dgbentz, I cannot answer your questions but I used one called a Hargen or hagen here in Australia in 1960 for cutting old power poles into deadmen.

It had a harness around the operators waist to the handles and a kill switch if
the belt wasn't connected or became disconnected. I felt safe using it but I was working in a people free area.

This one had a completely horizontal shaft that could turn 90 deg to cut in 2 planes.

I wish I had one now because I find chainsaws heavy and tiring.

Regards Vince.
