lombard chainsaw

Hello. I received this chainsaw that was a barn find. I figured i could repair it and re-sell for a small profit or restore it and add it to my personal collection. i know nothing about older chainsaws (i'm a tractor dude) and i figured there would be somebody that could give me some input. I know you can't trust the prices on ebay very well but there were some similar to it where people were asking $400 or so. Any idea what it could sell for restored? how old is it? How many of the same model were produced?
Thanks for any info you have!

There is a website out of Sweden that has a lot of info on old chainsaws, i can't remember the address, but "oldchainsaws.SE or something like that.
 
My brother has a Lombard somewhere. Not same model though. Haven't seen it ever since he bought a new much higher RPM and larger Stihl. I will say that the old Lombard did hold its own back in the day. Used to get real hot and cause the gasoline to boil in the tank. Never had a problem with it. Was pretty reliable. Shaked, rattled, rolled at low RPMs compared to anything these days. As far as collectable, I don't know that one would be. $400 for one though? Not me. I've got a few Echos that do very well. My brother likes his Stihl, and I love my Echos. Would I mind having a working Lombard? No problem. Wouldn't give more than $150 for a good working one and that would include the chain oiler, but that's me.

Good luck.

I think a neighbor that I used to cut wood with had one back in the early 70's. Don't remember if it was any good, couldn't get it to run long enough to find out. One of the OLD names in chain saws.
 
It's been a looong time since I've even thought about a Lombard saw. I've not seen many of them but back in the 70's, every so often, we would see one as a trade in at the coop where I worked. I'm guessing the one you have is from the early 60's. No idea of value.
 
The web site you want look at is out of Canada. The magic site is
[Chainsaw collectors corner]. Look at manufacturers and then you can
find any saw you can ever think of. There are hundreds. Lots of
articals and information.
 
Cut a lot of wood with an old Pioneer that I could hardly lift, when I was a kid. Took a lot of breaks, thought about doing something else. Anything else. You couldn't give me one of those heavy old buggers.
 

Worth in in the eye of the buyer. I'd say if it's free and not missing a lot of parts it might bring anywhere from $25-250.00. If it was all prettied up and running you still aren't likely to get a lot for it.

Lombard was a major player at one time. They were good saws for the day. Like any saw from that period, you had to do the maintenance to keep them running good. The old days of 16-1 or 20-1 oil mixes, points ignitions, poor fuel filters, often no intake air filtration and hard use didn't make for a "run it all day forever without upkeep" saw.
 
Dan Hudon in NY used to have parts for the Lombards. Don't know if these numbers are still good or not, but try, 315--896-7297 or 800-765-7297. Haven't done business with them for years. Think the place is called Hudson Forest Products or Husdon Sales and Service, something like that. I believe they manufacture their own portable sawmills and similar stuff these days. Last I knew they had a forest product division and a snowmobile division.
 


If you are patient, you can still find a lot of parts for the old saws on Ebay. It looks like that particular Lombard has a Faribanks-Morse engine. If you go to "acresinternet.com" you can go to the Lombard section and probably determine the model.

I had a Pioneer I used almost every day in the 90's. I was doing grounds maintenance work with it. That's about the only piece of equipment my crew couldn't break. I gave it to a friend when I left Hawaii 4 years ago.
