Yes that is a "MALL" with 42" bar. A "Mall 2MG" to be exact. It weighs about 30 pounds. Actually just picked it up and have to see what it needs. Quite Nostalgic to have a saw over 50 years old. Not high RPM's but a **** of a lot of torque. No gas or oil in her for a while so the pics on the oval rug in the family room were just for pictures sake. The wife wasn't happy with me buying more so called Junk but I like Nostalgic Stuff.

That Mall was either made in NY or Conn. I think that you will find that it is geardrive to the chain. Clean it up and keep it for show. I had an old Homelite that I actually used but finally hung it up. Pretty near needed a set of dolly wheel just to get it to the wood pile.

The Mall was made in Chicago, ILL. Name plate is on the side.........

Thanks for all the input on chainsaw chains. Does anyone out there have an outside wood furnace, or boiler. How do you like it? We have an outside wood furnace in a home made house, with lots of electrical monitoring devices. We monitor outside air temp, inside the furnace building, outgoing air temp, flue temp, with a security camera so we can read the information from inside the house. We're now looking on controlling the flue temp from inside the house. It already runs on a thermostat from inside the house, but we are having trouble keeping the flue temp appropriate. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Yugo
P.S. Yes, we still drive a Yugo - 15 years plus!

What you really need is a dedicated computer programmed to interpet the monitor signals and make the proper adjustments to controls to keep all within specified parameters and give an alarm if all is not proper.

Here's a picture of a wood heated dog house.

Always thought "The Dog House" was just beside the drilling rig.

I never seen an outdoor boiler set up like that. What does it do blow hot air into the house and pull the cold air back?

Deerlope,
Just remember, this is not an uptown estate, - just Ma & Pa Kettle farm. This is a homebrew dog house that works very well, other than we need to add a shut down on the flue when the temp gets too high. We have lots of bells and whistles (horns, temp sensors, big bell). To answer your question, it's a TSC Hot Blast furnace rated at 140,000 BTU(?).
In this 4' X 6' all metal and insullated (double wall construction), the cold (outside)air is drawn across the furnace, to prewarm it before it goes into the furnace. We have piped the warm air in through the basement in our bi-level home. We have an 8' open stairway that allows the heat to travel up very easily, and gives us a positive pressure inside the house. There's good and bad for being outside - cold to add fuel, but the insurance man really likes it, and it helps hold our homeowners premiums down. Let us know if you need more info. Yugo
P.S. See attachment for our covered wagon wood trailer - no longer have to remove tarp to get to the cord of wood.
