Hi Robby,

I guess you want to see the pics of the Mercury racing motor with Ted Morgan carbs? Thanks to Screem and fly{ and Doc Frankenmerc!} I got more info on the motor. C6, 1350 based motor. Built in 1971, Oshkosh plant and motor number 040. May be about 200+ Hp. If someone has a midsection and lower for this powerhead I would gladly purchase it to complete the motor.

What a piece of art!!! I think anyone on S&F would like such a collectable.... take good care of the jewel and good luck finding the remaining parts! Gary

I think that is whats known as a limbing chain - offers additional protection should the operator slip while walking on a downed tree cutting limbs off - and not the operator's limbs!

It's called a bow saw or bow blade. It was used primarily by southern pulp loggers as they could walk up to a fallen tree and plunge cut tree to lengths. It was banned back in the late 80" due to kick back issues and the injuries from them.

Volvo outdrive uses this type of dual propellers.

Brett May did a couple months at Lake X testing this motor. He said he's coming to OFF.
