Default Old Chainsaws--having fun!

Dad had to take down a couple really large maples last summer. We left the main bodies until we could find time to drag out some of our 2 man saws and “play”. Dad is 85 and wanted to make one cut. I got the saw in position and let him have at it till it got pretty low to the ground, then I took over. My son is on the little end. The saw is a 2 cylinder Titan Blue Streak. It runs 1 pt of 50w oil to the gallon of gas and uses a 5/16” file to sharpen the chain. We ran 2 of these, a 52 Poulan, and a big Mall with around a 40” bar. The others have 33” bars. This is the first time any were ran in 8 years. I've got a couple more I want to get out and get running again if time permits.
