[SEL] Unfinished projects -- Henry Disston Two Man Chainsaw

[John Hall]

We've got a 6 and a 12hp 7. Our 7 oils from the gearbox end, although we 
have a helper handle with an oiler on the other end--It was all we could 
find. Those saws were notorious for getting the helper ends broken.

Keep an eye out on Ebay as parts do show up there from time to time.
