70's Poulan bow saws
DIR By: Billyram

---------------------------------------------------------
When I was young worked for pulp wood loggers using mostly
Poulan Super 68s and 72s cutting short wood for a local paper
mill. I once had a mostly worn out I believe to be a silver 86
and a beige 72 that was in good shape. I never knew what the
displacement was on any poulan saw and have used 54s up to 92s.
What is the displacement of the 54, 66,68,72 and 92? I know
where a very clean green 54 is with low hrs. I know they changed
the color from beige to lime green some time in the early 70s.

Do you have old pictures of yourself using a bow saw back when.
I would sure like to see some.

Not a picture of a Poulan Bow saw but one of Alabama's finest
(Phyllis) loading a 1 Ton pulp wood truck in the later half of
the 20th Century?

Those are great pictures. I did not grow up around the woods
or any of the harvesting of wood that is used for many different
purposes, so I like seeing the old pictures of what was done,
why, and the equipment that was used.

In the early 50's these trucks were typically the bare minimum
to get the job done. Doors were just in the way and unnecessary.
In this picture, I would say that this trucks doors were damaged
and removed . . . The highway patrol made them source other
doors?

In the early 90's ,my first wife and I were taking a leisurely
ride down back country roads near a very progressive and
populous part of Alabama. We came up on a flat bridge with no
railings. I took notice that the pulp wood trucks didn't use the
bridge but forded the creek that it crossed.
The usual situation was that the woods log trucks didn't carry
their loads very far. There would be a railroad siding within
10-15 miles where the loads were transfered by hand to a
pulpwood car to be taken to the paper mill which may be a 100 or
more miles away.
