The specifications for the engine are the same as the generator. The old man selling the saw said he used it to cut firewood while camping in the late ’50s and early ’60s. It even had good compression and a spark, but I must admit the smell out of the gas in the tank would have knocked your socks off. It needed to be cleaned up and painted but it was complete. I didn’t even try to bargain I just whipped out the money faster than Billy the Kid could draw his six-shooter. It had the same type of Ohlsson & Rice engine and was priced at $25. I was visiting Friday morning garage sales and about two miles down the road from where I bought the generator, I walked into a garage/shop sale and found a little chain saw. The pull starter knobs are made out of wood.Ībout a year later it was almost the same story.

The unit’s specifications are as follows: Ohlsson & Rice 2-cycle. The unit is close to new and only needed some wiping down and a little auto polish to make it shine like a million bucks.

I was just looking around and on a shelf was a small cardboard box. I also have Maytag, Cushman, IHC, McCormick-Deering, Briggs & Stratton, and Sattley engines along with a lot of stuff that goes with collecting engines.Ī few years ago, my wife and I were doing the Friday morning garage sale scene and stopped by an estate sale. I like unusual things that are limited in supply. For at least 40 years, I have been a “stuff” collector. ![]()
