Got to run a 1946 Disston/Mercury two man saw
By: KilliansRedLeo Date: July 26, 2014, 7:32 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Went to a small engine show in Marion, NY to help out a buddy
here on CR (DeanOsaws). Cool stuff he had and got to run some of
the stuff. The 2 man Disston was a 1946 DA-211 36 inch two man
bar, 340cc 11HP twin. The saw was a pussy cat and a blast to
run, governed to 4K RPMs. We cut some off a dry piece of locust
and the saw just chugged right through it. Learned that it was
the bar-end guy's job to run the oiler which is a constant flow
mechanical affair using a spring activated plunger.
Sorry no pics (I only have a 'dumb' phone) but a great
experience, thanks Dean! I'll be back next year!

Yes, they do, like an early 70s snowmobile!

Larry S AKA "Chainsaw 57" has one .I thought it sounded like a
Mercury outboard boat motor but then again should I guess if you
get right down to it . ;D

On that big two man saw a story .A few years ago at a GTG in
Ohio the host had a beech log that must have been petrified .I
mean hard as cast iron .It slowed them all down,Stihl
066,McCulloch SP 125 even a good running Stihl 090 .Larry and
helper shot that big old two man down through it like it was
butter .That's what cubic inches will do .

Well after talking to Dean for more info, that saw was a joint
effort between Disston and Mercury Marine so it probably is some
adaptation of a outboard engine. I understand that there was
also a 12HP version.

Hey Tim, Thanks for coming over to the show... I was a great
time!
The saw is a 1946 Henry Disston KB7-AY with 11 HP by Mercury...
Not much info about displacement on these, but I found it listed
as a 325cc engine and have verified that on another saw. Here
is a pic:

I remember Larry at the 07 GTG in Ohio kick starting some kind
of 2 man saw. His are the only ones I have ran.
Brad would bring his to gtg's since but never ran his because I
had already ran Larry's.
Ran something with a big bow on it too.

Forgot all about my axe targets I used to make in the back
ground.
