I have a mystery saw and need info, &/or parts.

It has a sticker calling it a Super-Light.
Another saying Direct Drive.
Model No. 2U0 560SL 6.0 H.P.

Manufactured by Lancaster Pump & Mfg. Co. Inc., Lancaster Pa.

The company does exist and has a website, I sent them an email and am awaiting a response but am expecting them to say they made them years ago and have no records. The currently made water pumps.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Thanks for ANY info!!!!

Thanks for the replys,

I talked to the compnay and found a guy that has worked there since the Seventies. The saws were phased out in 1976 or so due to the new safety improvements. It was not financially feasible to retool. The division was sold off and the new buyer never produced the saws. No parts are available. I remade the recoil spring assembly, cleane the carb and it fired right up. the saw weighs a ton and would blow out your eardrums. But is is old and cool. The new problem is thsat the housing is cracked. It is old pot metal aluminum and I don't know if it can be welded so I am going to get creative..... ...thanks for all your help.

I live near Lancaster and yes, they did make chainsaws. I don't think they have offered them in quite a few years now though. My ex father-in-law had one back in the '70's. He liked it, but, I always thought it made an awful lot of noise for all the bigger it was. ( the saw, not the in-law) ;~)

I learned years ago if anything such as chainsaws or string trimmers are to be bought buy STIHL.

You can have your Stihl stuff, but when it becomes still, go buy a Husky.

I'm a big fan of older Homelites. By coincidence, I've aquired a Homelite blower, brushcutter, weedeater, demo saw, and two chainsaws. Most were free and I think they're great. One chainsaw is a Super XL-924 (88cc, about 5.5HP, 24" bar, 28lbs!), and the other is a VI-123. Anyone have info on the 123? It looks like the first American "comfort" saw from (I'd guess) the late '70s. Shock mounts, compression release, etc. It's a lot smaller than the SXL, but it's a good saw.

I wouldn't touch a new one with a 10 foot pole, however. I also have a Stihl 032av that's great.

Seems that I vaguely remember the Lancaster brand. Direct drive became popular during the mid 50's. Does your power head swivel so that the powerhead can remain vertical for both felling and bucking? Powerheads that will run in all positions also developed during the 50's. Does your saw weigh 25 or more pounds? I have Stihl and Husky. Also have Homelite made in 1959. Tremendous saw-both in size and performance. New Homelites do not favorably impress me.

BOTH are good saws. I've owned both. I have a Stihl now and love it. Had a Husky last and it served me real fine. I'd take either one... anytime.
