What was your first chain saw

[Old WoodChip]

Not sure if this has come up in the past.

Mine was a ear splitting screamer that lasted 15 years until I swapped it for a cement mixer.

 

It was this one Model Profile: MARK I

 

No break, No anti vib and no automatic oiler, it had a button to press and feed oil. Funny think I never had a chain wear out and from memory all I used as chain oil was 20/50 engine oil, never any trouble.

And the fuel was left in the tank for months some times without any issue

The good old days of bleeding ears and vibration white finger, but did we care:lol: we never knew any different in 1973

My first saw was a McCulloch Mini-mac. It was always a bitch to start when it was warm, never did manage to sort it, in the end brought a little husky 42 and never looked back, I still use the 42 a great little saw.

A McCulloch something or other that I got off Ebay for £6 so I had something to work on to get ready for CS 30. Got it running, cut down a few little trees with it then sold it for £40

pioneer and a solo, both absolute junk compared to todays saws.

[Stubby]

An all metal Jonsered with no a.v. and no brake I think . Bigish heavy longish bar . Also a very small Alko . That was yellow . We are talking 1970 something .

I'm thinking Oleomac- Italian I seem to remember

or maybe it was McCulloch

Both were rubbish

[Bearded Munch]

A McCulloch 10 10 automatic in the early seventies when they were quite good saw's and a little later a Stihl 032av, chainbrake optional extra.

Homelite (cant remeber model)

 

My Dad bought it new in the early '70s and I was probably about 9 or 10 when I first used it. It had no brake, no av and a manual oiler. It wasnt a bad thing really back then.

sthil 036av farm wood boss.. still going strong!

Some husky ... I think it was a 266, no decomp button and it felt like it would leave you breathless and rip your arm out of its socket trying to start it, but I was a wep back then!!

I'm sure a luxury saw to use compared to those mentioned above!!
