Old Chainsaws--having fun!
Dad had to take down a couple really large maples last summer. We left the main bodies until we could find time to drag out some of our 2 man saws and “play”. Dad is 85 and wanted to make one cut. I got the saw in position and let him have at it till it got pretty low to the ground, then I took over. My son is on the little end. The saw is a 2 cylinder Titan Blue Streak. It runs 1 pt of 50w oil to the gallon of gas and uses a 5/16” file to sharpen the chain. We ran 2 of these, a 52 Poulan, and a big Mall with around a 40” bar. The others have 33” bars. This is the first time any were ran in 8 years. I've got a couple more I want to get out and get running again if time permits.

There is a wood cutting show around here in a couple weeks. Here's a couple pics from a former show and this year's ad. |

Cool saws and it's really great that your Dad was able to get out and take a cut as well.

I have my grandpas old pioneer holiday chainsaw down stairs. Hasn't ran for close to 20 years. I remember it being hard to start and very loud! And heavy. Hope to get it before to long. Needs some serious cleaning of the bar and chain.

Hopefully we can get some more sawing in this coming weekend. I'll take a few close-up pics of the saws if we do.
Jeff, that show looks real interesting, can't believe they are doing it this time of year though, WAY too cold! On the flip side dad tells of sawing the wood for his brothers house in July with a 2 man Mercury. All I can say is those old guys really know what hard labor is!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
