Power Saw Gets Lots of Laughs

Power Saw Gets Lots of Laughs AG WORLD Ag World 18-2-19 "We found this old lumberjack saw under an old house we jacked up so I put a `motor' on it and carry it around on the back of my pickup for laughs," says Ken Reichel, Yelm, Wash. He used a piston and rod from a Ford air conditioner pump and points off a Model A Ford, a coil and plug wire off a Honda 90 cycle, and a plug off a Maytag washing machine motor. The swinging crank is made from scrap metal and the wood handle is just something Reichel had laying around. If you turn the crank, the piston goes up and down inside the "cylinder", which is really just a tin can. "Now that I've got it all ready to run, I'm trying to make up my mind whether to put fuel injection on it or just a plain old carburetor," jokes Reichel. "I carry this bush whacker with me at all times just in case my Ford chain saw stops running." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ken Reichel, Box 17511, Yelm, Wash. 98597 (ph 206 894-2438).
