Went to a farm equipment auction today that had an Oliver 880 on it. I knew it would go high, but it went a little too high for my blood.
I bought this Ford home with me instead. Not being a Ford tractor man (just a Ford VEHICLE man!), I had never seen one and quite a few other people at the sale hadn't either, although I did talk to one guy who said his dad had one similar to this, maybe a little bit bigger. They had a table of about a dozen old chain saws, of various brands. High bidder gets to pick what saw he wanted and then the auction continued with the high bidder picking out the next saw. I was high bidder and quickly picked this one. A few other guys that I had outbid said they were also after this saw and they were hoping that I'd pick a different one. Sorry!
I'll never try to get it running. I'm just going to clean it up and put it in my man cave as a conversation piece. Ford 09CS13G. Made for Ford by O&R Engines of Los Angeles, CA.
