Started to build a logging wagon for the little skidder today, feels like i have most material i need.
Robert, it’s like the Husky Rancher 55 that I found in the woodshed when I bought my property here. No compression whatsoever. Ordered a $20 new piston and cylinder from China, and it has been running 9 years now. Now if I could only find a dead tractor like Goran’s somewhere.
That “big one” reminds me… have l missed the “guess how many saws Goran has?” Game reveal? Seems all bets were given…
I think Goran was trying to count them and had to take a nap because it too to long.
göran ,i think it is time that you tell us how many chainsaws you have…impressive the mixed chainsaw-angle grinder model…
what is your oldest chainsaw model?
ciao giorgio
Bob, I noticed that your saw is missing the chain brake. I never had my saw activate the brake on a kick back - mainly because I am super vigilant and always keep a firm grip on the beast. Before I retired, I worked as a forensic engineer and saw too many pictures of the results from accidents. Mostly the brake is an annoyance because it trips when the lever snags a branch. However, you never know and it is extra insurance. I saw one for sale on ebay (my go to source) for cheap:
Marty
Thanks marty I will try to get the repacement parts for it. The saw was free so spending a little money to make it safer is alright with me. I was thinking on making it a swing down cross cutting saw for my log cradle bench.
Bob
Please do @Bobmac , we all want you to be safe. Accidents happen to the most experienced people too. 
It is ordered will be here on the 27th. Thanks again.
Bob
Ok, here it comes: i have 122 chainsaws, in running order (i only count runners) +1 semi- runner, waiting to it’s turn on the workbench.
Oldest one is a French Rexo, from 1946, (until now the oldest in my collection was a German Dolmar, 1936, it had to find a new home to pay for the tracked skidder)
“Wrecks” i can’t count, they are not near running order, and are spread all over my place. 
We all under guess your count. How many not running and not running then.
And where is this storage shed you store them all in. Wow. That is a collection.
Bob
Wow, that is an impressive number of chainsaws. If you dont have a chainsaw shed/barn to have them in I imagine there are chainsaws everywhere, behind the couch, in kitchen drawers, next to the laundrymachine and so on.
The mental pictures I am having now are fun
My hat is off to you sir. I know where im going in case of apocalipse 
But who was the closest? JO sayd 100?
Looks like Steve won. With 100+.
Kristijan, I guessed “only” 80 and without checking I seem to remember someone exceeded that number…
Oh, and since only working order counts I’m down to 4 (maybe 5) - not 8. Göran makes us all look like sissies
Edit: there we go…Congratulations Steve!
With my broken saw that needs parts I guess I won the least gas powered saws.
Bob
Congratulations Steve 
And yeah, i emptied a shed and made shelves, the situation was untenable, chainsaws everywhere, they tend to multiply, it seems 
And yes Johan, i had some in the laundry room, you can guess… one of them leaked bar oil…
Boy, if one of my chainsaws leaked oil in the laundry room I would probably be missing body parts or worse!
Yes. But I did guess a range of 90-110.
And by Gorens defined count of they must be running useable I have to cut myself down to only three.
I’m rainyday now stuck inside with a puking sick little girl all day.
Busy trying to find a current Net link to Australian Kurt Johannsen’s vehicle wood gas system he made up in 1986 and installed onto his 1982 retirement travel Dodge Coronet station wagon. 318/5.2L carbureted V-8. A rear bumper mounted system. Used rough country road sides scrounged wood. Be right up @Bobmac desires.
KurtJ. used to have a colored pencil sketch plan set he’d sold. This had been a few years ago; now decades later someone had put it up as open source. That link now dead.
I have wanted to show this to @Tone. The reactor hearth endcaps made of plow discs. Had a down from the top Tee supported single central brass pipe air nozzle. The inner body lined with cemented refractory bricks formed to make a narrowing waist. Had a very thin metal outer gas tight skin. Seams needed to be made by a really, really good tinsmith or a very good welding autobody man.
Ha! Been trying to teach myself the WayBack retrieval system Admin @Chris recommends. No joy finding it yet.
Anybody have a photocopy saved they could post up to share to the group??
Regards
Steve unruh
I have to say though, I do like the smell of chainsaws, bar oil and two-stroke gasoline all mixed together with some nice conifer woodshavings but I suspect my wife would have a different opinion in the matter, especially when the clean laundry smells like it.
