Followed me home today!  Saw an ad on c/l with a big mac 2 man saw and hidden in the pictures was a dirty homelite gear drive. Looked at it and thought it was a typical gear drive....but a second look revealed a wider gear case! Holy Sh** I said at work. Co workers shook their heads at my excitement. lol Called the guy and told him to put my name on it and in a week I'd be there. Anyhow...trip up to Glendale Oregon after work and this gem followed me home. Has good compression and piston is in MINT condition. Needs a side carb cover and top cover which I have....and lot's of scrubbing. Anyhow....STOKED to have another one and YES Leon! Will be ready for the next gtg!  001 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr  002 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr  003 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr |

That is good work, and yes, I never expect to see one in person. I am pretty sure no one ever used one around here.

TJ, with your run of good fortune, you'd better go out and buy a lottery ticket. You can't lose. ☺

AWESOME Score TJ, nothing like that around here for sure This is one advantage of the west coast....lot of big trees here back in the day so the bigger saws that are rare tend to be in this area. Heck I think the last stick shift on ebay was from Oregon or CA as well. |

What's with the fancy support rod from the handlebars to the from bump spikes? The spikes are homemade too. Interesting how that area, of that picture is so dark and hard to see... Proceed carefully. |
