WardSaw ..Is it in the correct catagory for posting?

[PalmSpringsSCal]

I have an old(pre 1950 I assume) portable log saw.
Its about 8 ft long 2.5 ft wide and lies(built in) on an "A" metal frame /skid.
Its a single reciprocating blade run by a small engine .
Ill take a pic asap,but where woul be the correct part of the forum to post it.
Chain saw seemed to be the closest.
Mabe it belongs in two catagories,this and ?

is the engine a Wisconsin? Ottawa made their drag saw into the late 40's until chain saws took over the market should be markings on the castings if it is an Ottawa If you can do a picture would be great help

What you have there is a Timber Wolf Drag Saw built in Portland, Oregon in probably the late 1930's.

The 5000 is the steel frame model, and the 5001 is the wood frame model, it is a two-stroke engine that produces 4 h.p.

The Timber Wold saw is my favorite one to saw with, let me know if there is any further information you need on it.

Have fun with it!

Woops,I when typing my response I had forgotten you stated
"The Timber Wold saw is my favorite one to saw with"
So that means you have personal knowledge/experience with it/them.

Im missing the blade. Someone swiped it one day.
Know where I can get another?

[Chris J]

Sometimes the blades come up on e-bay from time to time, look for one local since shipping can add up, but just keep your eye out at sales and what not.

I dont know if there are any stationary engine shows or swap meets, but these do come up at those as well.

As far as info, I have been working on researching drag saws for over 5 years or so now, boy does time fly.

Good Luck with your saw!
