Hi,

Find a bar to put on it, and hang it from the ceiling.

If some one has a ceiling he would like to hang it from, he can have it for a donation to the forum.

Hello Dave,

Sorry it's taken a while to reply.
Here is an update on what I decided to do with this saw. It won't be hanging from the ceiling anytime soon.

I originally was going to use it for parts for my other saw.
This one turned out to be in great shape. I added the bar,chain and belt cover from my other saw. After cleaning the fuel valve and replacing the hose / filter in the tank I got it running!!!!

I can't figure out how to include pictures, I have them in my album " ctklrdon "

Thank you again, Don

Here we are running this saw last Sunday. Thanks again Dave, Don

Some safety equipment would be appropriate. Chaps, hard hat, face protection.

The pretty lady holding the end of the bar may get a bad body lashing if the old chain breaks.

Yep, I know they did it that way for years without the gear.

Nice that you got it running and thanks for the pic of it running.

Hang on to that woman!!!!!!!!!!Not many would do that. Glad to see you got the saw running. I would like to see it in action.

Thanks for the compliments on my Wife and saw.

She is wonderful, I'm very lucky.
In fact she bought 6 saws into our marriage and has encouraged our collection which is up to 75 saws!!
She has been cutting wood and working on saws and sharpening chain for 25+ years and out splits / stacks me every time. With her late husband after both working 40 hour weeks they still processed and sold/delivered over 100 cords a year with a single wedge splitter, saws and a pickup truck.
