This saw gives me a back ache just looking at it!
First saw I ever used. Only saw my Dad ever used. We had 60+ acres of wood on the home farm and he needed post and boards for all the fencing. He fell Popular for post and Oak for boards. It all went to the sawmill to be cut and then hauled back to have post holes dug and then all the boards nailed on while it was still green. Then once cured we painted everything with creosote. A lot of work. All the limbs were cut firewood length, split and used in the cook stove.
I learned to fell a tree watching him. Learned a lot from trial and error. This saw sounded like a one cylinder Harley Davidson and was as heavy as one too. You couldn't stall it out. He also showed me how to sharpen it. (found these pics on ebay)
