WOW!

That is complete. Do you have the MAG for it? If so it looks like you could get it runing a a matter of hours.

I think it's in the Sam Adam's box beside my shoe. It is missing something important, but I can't remember what. There's a hand-written letter dated December 1977 in the opening. It's a reply from a man in NH that was selling the part. My Dad sent an inquiry to him earlier that year. A few days later, I was born, so my Dad never got back to the guy.
 
You are missing the carburetor. It may look like a piece of galvanized water pipe with a flap in on end and a flange on the other. It may be only 6 inches long. Look at mine since there will be very similar.

When you time allows, lay out your parts in the Sam Adams can and get a picture of them. I will show them to my friend and see what you need and if he has the part you need.

I pulled the parts out of the box and took a few photos. Unfortunately, I broke the glass thing. :bang: When I was walking out of the basement, I stepped on a small piece of the glass (barefoot), and now I'm bleeding all over the place. :mad: The Stover-gods are frowning upon me tonight.

WOW!

Your is a lot more cmplete than mine was.

In the top picture:

It looks like the big round canteen looking thing with the screw knob on top of it and the flapover cap is the carburetor.

The "U" shaped piece of metal and the baggie of parts go to the MAG.


The bottom Picture

The coil should be a wooden box similar to a Model "A" coil but I'm pretty sure that round one will work.

The glass thing in the bottom pictuer is your oiler. No biggy. The glass is a lot easier to find than the assembly.

The thing in the upper left is the MAG.

Top right is the muffler

between the muffler and the round coil is the other cover for the MAG.

Looks like you have all the parts.

Those copper looking caps on your crankshaft and connecting rod are the grease pucks. Unscrew just the cover and add grease. Tighten the cover down just a little bit to add tension to the grease. You will also want to spray some lube in the cylinder area where the piston is. It would not hurt to remove the spark plug and spray some lube in there as well. Then try to turn the motor over.
 
I wanna see them all. Pleeeeeaaaaaasse:). I love hit and miss engines. They are like being hypnotized.:eek: its gonna stop its gonna stop its still goin
 
Never knew you were into chain saws! I read all your 'saw tech' threads. Awesome work. I know who to show the following saw to:

I acquired this saw several months ago from my brother, who acquired it from someone he did some plumbing work for.

From just a few minutes searching on the web it looks like a early, to late 50's Lombard Model 35. Has a Tilliston carb on it. It's complete except for the pull cord/handle, and the On-Off switch. The motor will turn over so it may actually be able to start. ;)

Got any further information on this thing?

Piston Powered Products made the actual core engine. They eventually became Tecumseh. Clinton made a few core engines for some manufacturers. At one time there were around 80 chain saws manufacturers in the USA. Mall McCullough and Homelite rose to the top in the 50's and 60's. Diston, Remington, REI and Lombard tried to complete but just never got thier distribution systems in place.

The Tillotson Carburetor should be an HL series and is still in use today. Carb kits are no problem at all.
 
Good thread. Looking forward to more pics of your other saws Dan.
