BUCKING RED CEDAR POLE WITH HOMELITE 990G

This old gear drive saw was made in 1962, cuts pretty good. It's really slow because it's a gear drive, but it's unstoppable.

she cuts pretty good for the wear and tear I can see!

@ItsColdUpNorthh that saw is likely older than your parents. It didn't take too much to revive it, but the bar is pretty tired. 1/2" chain, too.

@jusportel haha wow! does that thing chug gas?

[jusportel]

@ItsColdUpNorthh Not bad, actually, about the same as a 090. It burns 12:1 mix, though! Pretty thick stuff. It's really slow, but once she starts pulling, the old beast is unstoppable. If you don't dog it before starting a cut, you'll just about get pulled off your feet! It weighs over 30lbs.

@jusportel 12:1 mix! hahaha atleast its not as bad as i thought!

oh shit

[jusportel]

Yeah, nice wood. That was a pole for a TV antenna for many years. The moss is because of the wet climate.

I looked at this again... God I'd love to get those logs on the wood mizer. They have moss on them, whats up wiyh that?
