Chainsaw Repair

In the 1950's and early 1960's, Mac had a leg up on everybody else in porting designs and also die casting capability.  Homelite caught up pretty fast though (and was ahead of Mac in the use of the Tillotson HL and HS carbs).  They both made some awesome big timber saws, as well as some market leading small saws through the 1960's.  Homelites and Macs were both real popular all along the coast here.  I've never seen a Lombard that was sold in this area.

I now have two Lombards (both arrived this year).  A Comango and a Cyclone.  Both 68cc.  The Cyclone has a full-wrap handlebar which is cool. They're both basically Homelite XL-12 designs with miner design differences.  Neat saws. 

I just have them for fun/nostalgia and GTG's.  The Comango was brought down from BC to the PNW GTG this year by a friend.  Only asked for a bit of beer money in return.  Another friend sent the Cyclone down from Canada to me.  He didn't ask for much in trade either.

Also have a couple NOS Lombard patches (sent to me by yet another friend) that I'll have my wife sew onto ball caps for wear at GTG's.  Got a very nice Poulan patch (thanks Roger..................yet another friend) that will go on another cap.  Now I need some Homelite and Mac patches.  I can get a Husky cap at the dealer....
