[SEL] Big drag saw with vertical engine

[Patrick M Livingstone]

I would have to agree that it is an early Stover vertical. The carby is
quite distinctive. It would have been an impressive rig to see running
especially on a log that size!

A lady in Portland, Oregon found some pictures in her family archives of 
her grandfather with a very large drag saw with a vertical engine.  I've 
been trying to help her find some information regarding the saw and we are 
fairly certain that it was sold by Mitchell Lewis & Staver, a very early 
industrial supplier in the Pacific Northwest.  So far I have not been able 
to figure out who actually made the engine.  It is a single cylinder four 
stroke vertical engine that appears that it might be around 5 hp. in 
size.  It is really an impressive looking saw unit.  Take a look at:

to see the pictures she found and let me know if you have any ideas.
