So while I'm on a roll, lets get into something that satisfies both the engine guy and the equipment guy that dwells within smile

This is my latest acquisition, a New Record Drag Saw c/w Southern Cross Mk. AKB engine. Circa 40's but I don't know how to date it more accurately yet.

I will be picking her up in the next couple of weeks and like most things of this type, she's nearly going smile We have spark, we have fuel at the plug so surely it must be mixture or timing, right?

These things must have been ground breaking when released in the 20's. If yer boss could afford it, no more 2 man rip saws � it must have been a right blessing in an otherwise hard world.

She looks a bit worse for wear but the reality is, it's all there and all operational. As a bonus I think the crank handle will fit my IHC Type H so I can get the timing sorted on that too � see what I mean about a few projects on the go??

I already have a saw buddy, but he's in QLD. We'll have to meet somewhere and have a "saw off" one day.

Really look forward to seeing what everyone else has and build on the knowledge base and history.
