OPENING HOURS

Another season has passed . We had a real wet summer not ideal to chainsaw exhibits.
The Museum has closed it's doors, renovation under go and will be re-opened in JUNE of NEXT YEAR (2010). Restoration projects and Historical study will be ongoing with new pictures and I will answer any questions by email under my profile....

Summer hours: MON/FRI. 8AM TILL 5PM (EMAIL FIRST TO CONFIRM).

It is time to cut the firewood and get ready for a another long winter and keep the house "warm" with the old buckstove.

See you next year for another Chainsaw season with new additions to the collection.

IEL DC SUPER PIONEER POWERHEAD/DIAMOND DRILL ATTACHMENT

A rare "PACKSAC" Chainsaw power drill attachment used by prospectors in the 50's.
Unit is used in core sample drilling when doing "claims" geology studies.

Water used in a barrel is fed through the head and inside the diamond bit to help cooling of the diamond cutters. If the samples showed significant value, a team would set up camp in winter due to easier access on frozen ground and investigate their discovery.
Some "core samples" can be seen on the last picture inside box.
Still used today, modern units showing with portable accessories.

RARE PIONEER P35 (a ghost saw).

PIONEER P35
THE “ OMC “ company…. A quick travel in time:

The Evinrude Motor Company was created in 1910.( Ole Evinrude)……

Friction between the partners forced Evinrude to sell his share to his backer in 1914and depart, after signing a guarantee restricting him from the outboard motor industry for five years.

By 1921 Evinrude was back in business, in a venture he called the ELTO Outboard Motor Company.

The company continued without him, becoming a subsidiary of the gasoline-engine manufacturer Briggs & Stratton Corporation in 1926.

A new engine in 1928 restored the ELTO Company, whose annual net profit rose to $300,000. Evinrude merged ELTO with Briggs & Stratton the following year, becoming president of the brand-new Outboard Motors Corporation.

Ralph Evinrude , succeeded to the company presidency after his father's death in 1934.
In 1935, the Outboard Motors Corporation bought the Johnson Motor Company.

In the early 1940s, Outboard's facilities were all converted to the production of war materials.

In 1956, the company changed its name to Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC).

In 1956, Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) the same year, OMC purchased Industrial Engineering, Canada's largest chain-saw manufacturer, for C$2.55 million plus 40,000 shares. OMC moved this new subsidiary to Peterborough, Ontario, and changed its name to Pioneer Chain Saws Ltd.

In 1977, OMC ceased producing chain saws and closed the Pioneer division.

In 1978 former employees of IEL took over and re-started the Pioneer company.

In 1982 running out of funds and good management Pioneer was sold in 1983 to Electrolux/Emab.

In 1983 Electrolux/Emab and their Partner division merged to rename the company Partner/Pioneer.

In 1988 the Peterborough, Ontario plant closed, taken over by Poulan and was moved To Shevreport Louisiana, USA.

Where are the unacounted saws....they could simply have dissapeared on a trip to the dump and are lost forever....fortunately this one was saved and survived.

COMMENTS: New vertical cylinder design undergoing testing when Pioneer closed down and were taken over by Electrolux
Technical study in progres.

History of the saw:
A former Pioneer employee in Peterborough gave the saw to a painting contractor who used it a couple of years and having no further need for the saw, it was given to her sister (Mrs Darlene......)from Chelsea,Quebec,Canada that lived in the country and cut her own stove wood with it. At one time (1988)the saw broke and was send for repair. Since 1988 it stayed in the shop unable to be serviced because of the non existing parts to fix it. The P35 sat on a shelf for 20 years in the dust to be unrevealed and acquired by myself as a unique piece of history of the former Pioneer company.
To this day(June2009)only 2 saws have been accounted for...one rest in Mike Acres collection and the second one in my museum.....saved to be preserved.....The other 4 saws have probably disappeared in a burial site and are gone forever...The very last Pioneers saw ever made in 1977.

From series 100 to 5999....... 5,899 units were fabricated in 1947.

One rare saw that survived destruction.

HISTORY of the saw:
JOYCE STRATTON(ANDERSON) SAW HISTORY:

This chainsaw was purchased by Carl Curtis. Carl owned a a large woodlot in Moscow, Maine, and worked as a woodsman in the Bingham, Moscow, Pleasant Ridge and Solon areas. He worked in the woods from the time he was 12 years old, cutting down trees and hauling them out to the Kennebec River. In addition to the work in the woods, he also worked the log drives up and down the Kennebec River. He used the chainsaw until he was into his 70's on his own property and woodlot, and it has since been passed down through the Curtis family.

BE-BO (SWEDEN).

ANCESTOR OF THE PARTNER C6 SWEDISH SAW.
Personal saw history:
This saw has not runned the last 20 years....as far as i know....It belonged to my wife's grangfather at the time and have no needs for it.It just takes up space in the garage now and is in the way....a donation to the museum,thanks to Mvh Leif...JARVO CITY SWEDEN.

A RARE FIND..The first chainsaw manufactured in Sweden.

The company, later to be purchased and became the Partner AB MOLNDAL, SWEDEN. This saw is linked to DJ Smith who founded the Hornet Industries Ltd. Upon one of his business exchange trip to Europe where he also met with Andreas Stihl, The founder of "STIHL" chainsaws. Prior to WWII Smith had signed contracts with the German government that included the purchase of Stihl chain saws in exchange for Canadian lumber. Germany did not want Canadian currency. Mr Smith had been doing field modifications to the saws including a dual oil and gas tank and a simpler helper handle. They copied the German chain and made their own bars. When the war broke out in 1939 and he could no longer get chain saws he used the Stihls as patterns and produced his own saws which he sold until 1941 then sold the rights to Reed Prentice. They held the rights for two years and sold them back to the factory contingent that formed Industrial Engineering Limited in 1943. IEL....Well!!!!! (THAT'S ANOTHER STORY COVERED WITHIN THE IEL COMPANY HISTORY).
The Be-Bo was a Swedish copy and was introduced in 1948. I am not sure who was first, but they have the same style. I have been told that Gustav Holm imported Hornet and then made Be-Bo, but the time frames are not correct. The Mobilco Be-Bo was made here and rebaged to be sold in Australia. MARSHALL TROVER,

HORNET DJ 3600 H ( EARLY ONE MAN SAW)

Hornet was the first commercial 2 man chain saw available in Nova-Scotia, Canada 1948

To my knowledge the company ceased operation in 1950 with whe take over from MALL TOOLS CO. from Vancouver. Hornet information is very limited. Please let me know if you have any information that could help to complete the history of the Hornet saws.

COMPANY LIMITED HISTORY .....Thanks for help and assistance to ANN (Guelph Historical Society) and Kathleen (the Guelph Civic Museum).
Their research:
The first listing is in 1945 and they are located at 151 Surrey St. E. (The Dalyte Building) and J. Smith is the President and General Manager. I don't have a book for 1946, 1948 or 1950 so I have a few gaps. In 1947 their main plant is still at 151 Surrey St. but they also have a second plant at 14 Lucan St. J. Smith is still Pres. and Gen. Man. In 1949, they have a third plant at 94 Gordon Street (near Wellington). At this point J. Smith is President and W.H. Calver is General Manager. There is no listing of the company in 1951. In all of the listings for the company they are listed as making gas powered motors and power chain saws.

Hornet/Mall DJ3600H (later 2 man saw version).

Saw history: The little history that I have on the saw is: The saw was bought new by David Maxell. He used it in the woods of McKean and Potter Counties in Pennsylvania USA. After a Logging accident left him and his father unable to continue to logging. It passed through a few hands until it ended up in Perryville NY USA, Where I purchased it at an estate auction because it had ties to McKean County, the county in PA where I grew up. When you restore the saw, I'd love to see pictures of it. Shane

Nova-Scotia picture testimony: is a donation from Dave .....(Fort Sackville Foundation): Distant relatives of mine have operated a sawmill for in nearby Sackville N.S. for about 150 years. The main operator or the mill has been Royce Hefler and he is still alive and active at age 88 but no longer owns the mill. I attach, for your interest, a picture that I happen to have of him using one of the first chain saws in Nova Scotia, probably about 1950.(Dave....)Fort Sackville foundation


Hornet history in time:
The Hornet company was created and run by DJ Smith until he sold it out to Mall saws (Arthur Mall). They were produced in Guelph, Ontario, Canada by Don J Smith, the same man who imported the first Stihl's into Vancouver, Canada from the mid to late nineteen thirties . He started producing copies that evolved on cloning that saw and then sold it out to Reed Prentice who in terms was sold out to local business men who formed IEL from Vancouver.. In the mean time DJ Smith moved to Guelph, Ontario and in 1946 started producing the model HJ (his son's initials) two man Hornet. In 1948 he updated it to the model D and started producing the one man rope start model DJ 3500 (DJ being his initials). In 1950 he updated the one man to the DJ 3600 recoil start. At first the starter housing was part of the shroud cover. That was soon changed to a removable starter so the shroud and gas tank did not have to be removed to work on the starter. It was around this time that he sold out to Mall and so the Mall name appears on later models. He had said that taxes were so high in Canada on his business profits that he could not save any money from year to year and so he and his wife tried to spend it as fast as they made it and almost killed themselves off living too extravagantly. He lived out his later years in Eastern Washington State making custom hunting rifles, where I visited with him 1975. The Be-Bo was a Swedish copy and was introduced in 1948. I am not sure who was first, but they have the same style. I have been told that Gustav Holm imported Hornet and then made Be-Bo, but the time frames are not correct. The Mobilco Be-Bo was made here and rebaged to be sold in Australia. MARSHALL TROVER,

Very light and innovative saw.... but sales were not what the inventor Mr. Wiig had hoped for, so, he took his idea to Sweden to a company called Como... M.T.Bjerke would build the Comet in Sweden. This occurred around 1950. The Swedish Comet was called model B. Swedish production of the model B Comet is approximately 1,000 between 1950 through 1953. Very light saw, 32oz would make her run for 1 1/2 hr....It is a 2 cycle engine that uses an injector type of carburetion system. The glow plug called a tandror works using propane gaz under pressure inside the handle assembly.

PM(POWER MACHINERY) model UNIVERSAL.

First model produced by POWER MACHINERY,Vancouver,Canada.
From series 100 to 5999....... 5,899 units were fabricated in 1947.
This saw is serial number 5042
Only a few one survived...this is one of them "rare saw".

Company history: From the early 1900's British Aircraft Corporation was a leader in airplanes and jet engines. With the outcome of the industrial revolution they diversified their knowledge in different field of technology. First division was the Bristol Aeroplane Co.Limited. Their worldwide expansion created the Bristol Aeroplane Company of Canada and thus creating a sub-division "Bristol Aero-industries Limited.
To compete with those fields and other competitors they created PM(Power machinery), a chainsaw company that eventually became an independant entity in the late sixties.
Power Machinery Ltd. designed also the model 340 . It was 4.2 cu. in. (68.8cc) The SKIL version was introduced in 1969 right after SKIL Tool Co. bought out the chain saw division of Bristol Aero-Industries Limited (PM) in Vancouver (1967).

History from Mike Acre's site(CSCC).
In 1967 Peter G. Dueck became president of PM after the sale of the company to a group of investors by Bristol Aero-Industries Ltd. Mr. Dueck was President of Dueck Building Supplies Ltd. At the time A.F.B. Milligan was Vice-President and General Manager. J.C. Stainsby was Chief Engineer, H.J. Hutchinson was Marketing Manager and R.J.B. Molson was Manufacturing Manager.

Currently our chainsaw master Mike Acres from Vancouver purchased and owns the PM Company rights but it is not in production.

Personal testimony THANKS TO "Larry from Texas,USA":
Good Afternoon,
My father was (Melvin.....) He was VP of Advertising, Mall Tool Co. Chicago, Illinois. He worked with Mr. Mall for 20 Years. Mall was a double Type A personality. As the years progressed Mall was the outside man and my Father was the inside man. Mall would be out all week and return on Fridays. The plant was located on South Chicago Avenue and covered a full city block. One Friday Mall and my Father were on the production floor and a production worker stepped off the line to take a water break. Seeing this, Mall instructed my Father to fire him. Dad encouraged Mall to return to his office so he could finish his day. Once the “smoke cleared” Dad visited with the targeted employee. Dad asked him about his family and if he was going to lunch. “Yes” was the reply. Dad told him to change shirts during lunch and to return to work wearing a baseball cap (the employees were Sox or Cubs fans). A good employee was retained and Mall was satisfied.

TITAN ER

Recent acquisition...a challenge on the workbench!!!!!!!
Predecessor of the BLUESTREAK


History by Marshall Trover:
The ER was made in Seattle, Washington on 4th and Lander. Mill and Mine Supply had a foundry and machine shop there and produced logging and mining supplies plus marketed others tools in a large catalog. The ER was a model E Titan revised with better cylinders and a cast gas and oil tank instead of a round steel tank. It was two simultaneous firing apposed cylinders and used the same internals as some Neptune outboards with a manual clutch. The R stands for "Revised". It was made around 1947 and rated at 10 hp.

The ER became the Bluesteak with no mechanical changes but a color change from gray to blue. With the introduction of the automatic clutch it became the Bluestreatk Automatic and was a very popular and successful two man saw in the late 1940's. Lots of pictures on Acres Collector's Corner. As a general rule, condition and completeness are critical elements when determining value, often more so than rarity.

McCulloch MODEL 47

COSMETIC RESTORATION IN PROGRESS...................

Information for this saw came from (David Truemner )... of the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum and was passed on to Mr Douglas Rutherford from Ottawa,Canada.

Douglas donated the saw to be restored, saved and preserved as an historical legacy of our logging industry.
Saw history by Douglas Rutherford: I have a McCulloch model 47 in my basement. We got it second hand in the 1950s from a woodsman in the Whitney area on the east side of Algonquin Park and my father, brother and I used it to cut firewood at the family cottage in Algonquin( Cache Lake, Algonquin Park) for two decades. It was a heavy and slow cutting machine compared to models that came along in the 70s and 80s and it has not been fired up for at least 20 years. We sawed a great many logs with that saw into 16 inch lengths and then split them for firewood and I am sure my brother and sister would be most interested to see where our original family chainsaw from the 50s and 60s is. No wonder I had back problems at quite a young age.

McCulloch BP1 (balanced piston) recalled.

Worlds only Balanced Piston engine chain saw.Saw was sold for a very short period of time and then withdrawn from the market.
The BP1 saw was 20 years ahead of it's time .It had a dual piston desing for balancing and porting of the engine. It would run WOT 12,000 RPM and a failure in the governor assembly could result in an engine burst and injury to the operator. McCulloch recalled all the saws and they were destroyed. There is only a few that did survive.This is one of them very rare saw.

The Technical: Not too many have seen the internals of this saw...some pictures will help you understand the design.

It did not have an oil tank but instead it recuperates the unused vaporized oil mixture unburned from the bottom of the crankcase and injected it through a passage towards the chain.
There was a recall on all of those saws (since it did not work properly) and the front gas tank was reduced to a double tank in order to add the manual oiler button/cap and extra oil tank. This saw survived the factory recall.

McCulloch 99.

Saw history from (Viktor.......): I bought it a year ago on a private sale and I think the guy said it was his uncle's saw. It probably spent most of its life in upstate NY.

MCCULLOCH D30 (ORIGINAL).

D30 is the ancester of the 200 and 300 ...ETC....series mac saws.
Centre pull......
You needed one hand on the choke unit that is a spring loaded cup in front of the carburator????
Another hand to hold the throttle trigger.
And a THIRD HAND to crank the engine............WOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder why it was not a big success???????

Feature: LUBRI-MAC oiling -- another McCulloch exclusive. Eliminates need for a separate oil tank. And light weight is still another value feature of these new saws--only 17 pounds." --1959 McCulloch advertisement

It did not have an oil tank but instead it recuperates the unused vaporized oil mixture unburned from the bottom of the crankcase and injected it through a passage towards the chain.
There was a recall on all of those saws (since it did not work properly) and the front gas tank was reduced to a double tank in order to add the manual oiler button/cap and extra oil tank. This saw survived the factory recall.
Later the centre pull assembly was removed and replaced with the oil tank. Now was born the 200 and 300....etc... series McCulloch.

THE MODIFIED RECALLED SAW....BOTTOM RIGHT PICTURE.

Testimony: My Dad (from Ontario) just called to ask me to find some info on this saw. He said he picked one of these up and got it going, but could see no place for chain oil. He told his pals it must use crankcase oil, but they thought he was nuts. :o) He said even if it did, it wouldn't be enough oil to adequately lubricate the chain.
So I got off the phone and Googled and found your site. I just called him and read the paragraph to him over the phone. Sounds like his guess was right. His must have never been fitted with the dual tank or whatever they did to try and remedy the problem.
My Dad just turned 69 and has been logging since his teens. Still cuts wood by hand. I'm gonna have to get him to look at your collection site. I'm sure he'd recognize many of the saws.
Thanks,
Greg

MCCULLOCH D30 (RECALLED).

MAC D30
But the oiling system (supposed to collect condensate oil from the crankcase and route it to the bar) didn't provide enough oil, so a retrofitted tank and push button was added on the front of the fuel tank. And the D30 had a straight stack muffler and reed valve. Later models went to a more conventional left-mounted starter, and the bulge on top became the chain oil tank.

WARDS(MONTGOMERY) model WD65

The Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalog House,was the heart of Montgomery Ward's operations.Founded as the world's first mail order business in 1872 by Aaron Montgomery Ward,In 1883, the company's catalog, which became popularly known as the "Wish Book". After World War II, Montgomery Ward had become the third-largest department store chain. In the 1950s, the company was slow to respond to general movement of the American middle class to suburbia. While its old rivals Sears, J.C. Penney, Macy's, McRae's, and Dillard's established new anchor outlets in the growing number of suburban shopping malls, the top executives thought such moves as too expensive, sticking to their downtown and main street stores until the company had lost too much market share to compete with its rivals. Its catalog business had begun to slip by the 1960s. In 1968, it merged with Container Corporation of America to become Marcor Inc.
During the 1970s, the company continued to flounder. In 1976, it was acquired by Mobil Oil, which was flush with cash from the recent rise in oil prices. In 1985, the company closed its catalog business after 113 years and began an aggressive policy of renovation of the remaining stores. The renovations centered on restructuring many of the store layouts into boutique-like speciality stores. In 1988, the company management undertook a successful $3.8 billion leveraged buyout, making Montgomery Ward a privately held company.


The exterior of a typical Jefferson Ward discount department store, which opened 1980-82
In 1987, it began a push into consumer electronics using the "Electric Avenue" name. Montgomery Ward greatly expanded their electronics presence by shifting from a predominantly private label mix to an assortment dominated by Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, and other national brands. This strategy was led by V.P. Vic Sholis, who later became President of the Tandy Name Brand Retail Group. (McDuff, VideoConcepts, and Incredible Universe) Seemingly on the right track for a rebound in marketshare, in the late 1980s and early 1990s Montgomery Ward was one of the hottest retail chains in the country. 1994 brought a 94% increase in revenues, largely due to Ward's tremendously successful direct-marketing arms. For a short while Wards was also back in the mail-order business, through "Montgomery Ward Direct", a mail order business licensed to the catalog giant "Fingerhut". But by the mid 1990s sales margins were eroded even further in the competitive electronics and appliance hardlines, which traditionally were Ward's strongest lines.
The company also spun off Jefferson Ward (known as "Jeffersons"), a short-lived discount department store version of Montgomery Ward which had the same concepts as most discount department stores. The chain was discontinued in 1988, and most locations were converted into Bradlees stores.
In 1994, it acquired the now-defunct New England retail chain Lechmere.By the 1990s, however, even its old rivals had begun to lose ground to low-price competition from Kmart, Target, and especially Wal-Mart, which stripped away even more of Montgomery Ward's old customer base. In 1997, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emerging from bankruptcy court protection in August 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital, by then its largest shareholder. As part of a last-ditch effort to remain competitive, the company closed 250 retail locations in 30 U.S. states, closed all the Lechmere stores, abandoned the speciality store strategy, renamed and rebranded the chain as simply Wards (although unrelated, Wards was the original name for the now-defunct Circuit City), and spent millions of dollars to renovate its remaining outlets to be flashier and more consumer-friendly. But GE reneged on promises of further financial support of Wards' restructuring plans.In December 28, 2000, the company, after lower-than-expected sales during the Christmas season, announced it was going out of business and would close its remaining 250 retail outlets and lay off its 37,000 employees. All the stores closed within weeks of the announcement. The subsequent liquidation was at the time the largest retail bankruptcy liquidation in U.S. history. It went out of business in may 2001.Montgomery Ward brand was revived as an online and catalog-based retailer headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in late 2004, when Direct Marketing Services Inc. purchased much of the intellectual property assets of the former Wards, reviving the brand as an online retailer with no physical stores. In 2008, ownership changed over to Swiss Colony in Monroe, Wisconsin.
The company does not currently operate any retail stores.
n June, 2004, an online retailer was created which sells the same products as the former brand. The company does not currently operate any retail stores. Key "Montgomery Ward" and "Wards" trademarks were purchased by Iowa-based direct marketing company Direct Marketing Services Inc. (DMSI), a catalog marketer, for an undisclosed amount of money.
In July 2008, it was announced that DMSI was on the auction block, with an auction scheduled for August 2008. Catalog retailer Swiss Colony purchased DMSI on August 5, 2008. Swiss Colony has announced that it will keep the Montgomery Ward catalog division open. The Web site launched on September 10, 2008, with new catalogs mailing in February 2009.[7] A month before the catalogs' launch, Swiss Colony President John Baumann told United Press International the retailer might also resurrect Wards' Signature and Powr-Kraft store brands.

MERCURY was the GOD of merchandise and merchants, symbol of gain and financial success, protector of the traveler, safeguard paths and the unmarked water routes. The sacred number of Mercury is 4 and the date of birth of Elmer.Carl.Kiekhaefer
Elmer Carl Kiekhaefer worked with the navy supplying 12hp/90hp engines for the "Drone Airplanes" launched from a ramp and widely used after WW2. Kiekheaffer only produced engines so he had an association with JOHN HENRY DISSTON SAWS to supply him with the blades/chains/helper handles to assemble the "Mercury saws".

Personal testimony: I inherited an old Kiekhaefer chainsaw from one of my cousins. It belonged to my father originally and was last used sometime in the ‘70s it then sat at his son’s cottage until after various cleaning efforts it has ended up with me. All the parts and pieces are there with the engine.The chain is still oiled as are rest of the pieces. If you can use it I would like someone to have it that could put it to use.............

Elmer Carl Kiekhaefer was the founder of Mercury Marine. He took over the fledgeling Thor outboard company, redesigned them to be dependable, and his Mercury Outboard empire grew for there. His factory began in an old Cedarburg Wisconsin farmhouse Later moving to more automated factory in Fond du Lac. He later developed the mercruiser outdrive which is the most widely used outdrive today. His company created the first six cylinder outboard, first 100 horsepower outboard, power trim, electronic ignition, and one piece lower units. He made advances in offshore powerboat racing and endurance records for his outboard engines that still stand today.

This is the first one man saw produced by Kiekhaefer in the new factory in FOND DU LAC, WISCONSIN, U.S.A.

Saw history by Frank Russ:
The saw was my fathers, Frank Albert Russ Sr. He and his brother, Tony Russ, bought the saw together. They each paid half and then my father bought him out. The saw was purchased new. My dad used the saw to cut firewood and trees used to saw up into lumber. After my father passed away, the saw was given to me and now I have given it to you for retirement. My father lived at (.....Street) in Hibbing, Minnesota. He was born in Chisholm MN. His family had 80 acres of land and that is where he used the saw.

Saw history:
Coming from my husband's grandfather he was emotionally attached and is very happy it is going to your museum.
This saw belonged to Ralph Leibensperger of Columbus, Ohio. Ralph was a general contractor and used the saw in some of his projects. Upon his death in 1983 it was given to his grandson Bill Heizer, of Columbus, Ohio whom at that time heated his home with wood. Bill and his family moved to Mount Vernon, Ohio. He had the ignition rebuilt and started it a few time but had no use for such a LARGE saw. Subsequently it was sold to the chainsaw museum in Quebec, Canada. Bill was very happy to have the museum purchase the saw because he knew it would be appreciated for its history and as a piece of well-built machinery with a practical value. Thanks, Luann.

IEL SUPER DD:Brief history from the seller from whom i acquired the saw:
The history about the saw is that it belonged to my
father in-Law. As a hard working dairy farmer in Upstate
New York he spent time during the winter cutting logs for
projects or income. He also hauled pulp wood when the price
was right and planed his own lumber on the farm using an old
cast iron planer and a belt drive from a tractor for power. It did a
great job and was kept in an old planer house. This is where the
saw was found; it was in a loft and must have been there for
over 20 years, since I've never seen it.


BRIEF HISTORY by Wayne Sutton: Reed-Prentice, Smith, IEL, Mall, and others were connected through the Stihl model type BD copies. It is also true that Bob McCulloch worked for Reed-Prentice, connecting him to the linage as well. Mill and Mine Supply and their Titans were direct desendents as were numerous other builders worldwide.
Reed Prentice Corp purchased D.J.Smith Manufacturing in late 1939. R-P was trying win a military contact to build chainsaws for the war. Then when Mercury appeared as the front runner for the engine portion of that contact, R-P pursued the cutter portion. In turn they sold the D.J. Smith Mfg. company back to Smith and his employees in late 1942.

Smith contracts that he had signed with the German government that covered the purchase of Stihl chain saws in exchange for Canadian lumber. They did not want Canadian currency. Mr Smith had been doing field modifications to the saws including a dual oil and gas tank and a simpler helper handle. They copied the German chain and made their own bars. When the war broke out in 1939 and he could no longer get chain saws he used the Stihls as patterns and produced his own saws which he sold until 1941 when he sold the rights to Reed Prentice. They held the rights for two years and sold them back to the factory contingent that formed Industrial Engineering Limited in 1943.(Marshall Trover).

PRECISION SAW TYPE 1 MODEL3

Type #1 The bow saw. Was first offered as a 18" size in 1946, a 14" unit was added in 1947 and a 24" saw joined the line up in 1948. A 1952 sales flyer offers only the 18" size, so we must assume that the 14 & 24 were dropped, and no longer offered after this date.

The type#2 which was previously offered only as a 22" beaver tail, was now offered with a 19" & 27" beaver tail (BT) the 22" size was discontinued

Type #3 The straight bar saw with a helper handle, offered in three sizes 20", 26" and 32" This type appears to have been discontinued about 1950

1946-1948 Model#1 ......The original Precision saw has a casted metal fuel tank bolted on top of the casted fan shroud, with a brass oiler. This model also has a separate hand clutch lever. The bow type has casted-in handle, and embossed wording "Precision Parts Ltd" Color: Dark Gray
The 19T and 27 BT models, do in fact refer to bar lengths. It appears that about 1951Precision stopped offering the type#3 (20",26", 32" w/helper) saw.

MCCULLOCH 325

The new McCulloch Motors Inc. factory in Los Angeles.

McCulloch Motors Inc. Vice-Presidents and President: (L to R) Gerald Robechaud (Tools and Methods), Fred Breer (Sales), Sherwood Egbert (Production), Robert Paxton McCulloch, Secretary-Treasurer Joseph Hegener, John Ryde (Engineering) outside the new factory.

In the mid 1930's Robert Paxton McCulloch started McCulloch Engineering Company and began manufacturing superchargers as the first large American commercial supercharger manufacturer. They began developing superchargers for use on American passenger cars and hydroplane boats. This was the start of the supercharger industry in America as we know it today.
At the time of his death in 1925, John Irving Beggs was reported to be the wealthiest man in Wisconsin, with an estimated net worth of over $20M. He passed this incredible fortune to his grandchildren: John Irvin Beggs McCulloch(1908-1983), Robert Paxton McCulloch(1911-1977), and Mary Sue McCulloch(1913-1996) each going on to have incredible lives:

Grandson Robert was responsible for McCulloch Chainsaws, the Paxton Supercharger, founding Lake Havasu City, Arizona and moving the London Bridge to Arizona. He married Barbra Ann Briggs, whose father was Stephen Foster Briggs of Briggs and Stratton.

The success of McCulloch Motors, and the restless nature of Bob McCulloch, resulted in him selling McCulloch Motors to Borg Warner in 1943 for $1 million , which was subsequently invested in Pan American Airways stock. Six months later some of the stock was sold off and Bob McCulloch set up McCulloch Aviation Incorporated to manufacture 6,000 drone plane engines for the Army Air Force, based upon earlier lightweight two-cycle engines designed by McCulloch. As a result of this contract McCulloch felt that his future lay with featherweight two-cycle engines for Industrial use, and given that it was time for a change, and his current manufacturing facilities were not suitable, McCulloch uprooted McCulloch Aviation and moved it to California.

The move was made in 1946, and Los Angeles was picked due to low manufacturing costs and the availability of skilled mechanics. A fifteen acre piece of land was purchased opposite the airport and some old barracks set up to serve as offices and plant buildings. As well as Bob McCulloch and his family, a further 33 families of McCulloch Aviation employees made the move to Los Angeles, and as a part of the relocation Bob McCulloch bought 13 houses and 16 apartments to house these employees. Initially during 1946, whilst the 80,000 square foot factory was being built, old barracks buildings were used to house the offices and plant. Many of these had leaky roofs and probably did not create a very good impression when Henry Kaiser arrived with his retinue to enquire about a two cycle automobile motor, however they did serve the purpose and within 60 days of setting up the first engines (lawn mower and chain saw) were being produced out of these buildings, along with other staple items such as die-cast gas heaters.

The factory was completed in 1946 , costing around $1 million, and McCulloch Aviation became McCulloch Motors Corporation, and after evaluation of the product line Bob McCulloch dropped the heaters and development work for the Kaiser-Frazer two-cycle opposed piston engine, and decided to concentrate on the lawn mower and chainsaw engine product lines. These were built by McCulloch Motors Corp. and were supplied to Sears, Roebuck and Reed-Prentice respectively, and after extensive research by McCullochs engineers (and Vice-presidents) John Ryde and Gerald Robechaud, McCulloch found that he would could produce a better and lighter chainsaw by himself. As a result of this development McCulloch produced his first chainsaw the 5-49, which was 5Hp and weighed 49 pounds, was two-thirds the weight of it’s nearest rival, and cost $50 less, and sold in such volumes that McCulloch Motors 1947 sales of $4 million increased to $40 million by 1951, and a $2.5 million plant expansion was made in 1950.

PIONEER BRIEF HISTORY:
Built after Pioneer took over the IEL Company. The Pioneer design starter utilizing plastic pawls was not sturdy enough and a conversion kit was available to change to a Fairbanks Morse starter. The genuine Pioneer starter housing is as shown with the tree logo.
Pioneer chain saws have been in use since the early part of the 20th century, and one can still find vintage ads for these chain saws. In these ads, which are generally from the 1940s and 1950s, the focus is placed on several words describing the Pioneer chain saw: safety, ruggedness, simplicity, and speed.
Ads for the Pioneer chain saw emphasized the ruggedness of this saw, mentioning that such a saw was strong enough for any hard work that needed to be done in the woods or at a farm. The implication was also that this saw would save money because of its durable abilities.
When it came to the promotion of safety, these ads mentioned that extra safety measures were implicated into the design of this chain saw. These ads implied that such a chain saw could be used by a family man as well as professional chain saw cutters

MALL 6... 2 MAN SAW.(ARTHUR MALL)

Thanks to "Bill" that i met in Montreal...on it's way to the casino.. :) :)



HISTORY:This Model 6, manufactured by the Mall Tool Company of Chicago in 1949, developed 8 hp. It has a 36 inch bar, although bars of other lengths were available. Since you couldn't plunge cut with the tip of the bar with the handle for the second man attached, you needed a bar as least as long as the tree was wide. With many saws of this early type, the bar could be set to cut either horizontally or vertically, but not at an angle. One way to cut an undercut was to saw two horizontal cuts, then chip out the wood between with the adze side of a Pulaski tool, or else make one horizontal cut and chop the rest with an ax.



The invention of the pulaski is widely credited to ED PULASKI in 1911. The pulaski came into wide use by the Forest Service after 1913, and in 1920 the Forest Service began contracting for the tool to be commercially manufactured
